ABSTRACT

The topic of management of financial perils and risk for small & medium enterprises (SMEs) was largely limited in the business literature. This research aimed to study the present state of management of financial management in Dubai’s small & medium enterprises. In the commercial and economic development, expansion, and growth of Dubai, small & medium enterprises (SMEs) are key. Nevertheless, only in a risk-free operating environment can this be possible. This study looks at the relation between Dubai’s financial risk and SME sustainability. A series of risks are facing SMEs which require objective and conscious efforts to manage risks. A financial risk management evaluation of an organization was developed, resulting from an analysis of the semi-structured questionnaire survey, which was assisted by a research interview. SME entrepreneurs were recommended to treat management of risk as an integral segment of corporate governance. Regulators should also focus on minimum standards for SME corporate governance.
