Currently, there are 16 private commercial banks working in the country, some of which are celebrating their 20 years' anniversaries. To represent all the 16 private banks, the researcher grouped them in two categories. Wegagen Bank, United Bank and Bank of Abyssinia has been selected from the earliest established commercial banks and Abay Bank, Buna international Bank and Berhan Bank were selected from the lately established banks in simple random sampling method with a total number of 51 employees working risk management area from the selected 6 commercial banks. The data were collected through questionnaire and face to face interview. The questionnaires were distributed to all risk management department staff of each selected commercial banks. The interviews were made with NBE’s bank supervision department and directors as well as managers and directors of commercial banks. 51 questionnaires were distributed, properly filled and fully returned to the researcher.
