Risk Assessment on Bank of America

Abstract

This paper analyzes the risks faced by Bank of America and the strategies it adopted for risk management in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Three major risk categories were particularly focused on: liquidity risk, credit risk, and exchange rate risk in this paper. The study examined the bank's risk exposure in these areas, assessed the effectiveness of its risk management practices, and evaluated the impact of market volatility on its financial performance. Based on an analysis of Bank of America's 2021 annual report, this article provides insights into the bank's overall risk position and emphasizes the importance of effective risk management practices in the banking industry. As for the results, Bank of America mitigated the impact of COVID-19 through various risk management strategies but still faces risks in the current unstable economic environment. Additionally, incomplete data and information in the report require further analysis to evaluate Bank of America's risk management situation.
