When answering this question, focus on a specific instance where you successfully identified a financial risk and took steps to mitigate it. Start by describing the context and the nature of the risk. Explain the analysis or tools you used to identify the risk, and detail the actions you took to mitigate it. Highlight the outcome and any quantifiable benefits to the organization. For example:
"In my previous role, I noticed a significant exposure to currency fluctuations due to our international operations. I conducted a thorough analysis using financial modeling tools and identified that we were at risk of substantial losses. To mitigate this, I implemented a hedging strategy using forward contracts, which stabilized our cash flows and protected us from adverse currency movements. As a result, we were able to save approximately $500,000 over the next fiscal year."
