The paper focuses on the important issue related to the integration of risk management and corporate financial management in the context of financing the consequences of risk in a company. The theoretical study was based on a modified approach to capital structure, enlarged by the inclusion of a new component – the risk capital (for financing the consequences of risk in a company) in addition to the operational capital (for financing the operating activity of a company). The main objective of this paper is to support the thesis, that the adequate assessment of the required level of risk capital should be based on the previous assessment of operational capital adequacy, as insufficient level of operational capital may increase the need for risk capital. The paper offers a proposal of an analytical model which consists of a set of financial ratios applied to the assessment of the operational capital adequacy, regarding its structure. Based on this model, conclusions have been synthetized about the potential direction of changes of the need for the risk capital, dependent upon the direction of changes of the operational capital adequacy ratios.
