Below are the major components we would recommend to be addressed as part of the risk management process. They tell a story about your company and how it approaches risk and insurance needs.

1 . Identify and measure all exposures to loss .

This is the single most important function and the one most often slighted or only paid lip service. Without this step, there is no rational way to put in place a meaningful insurance risk management program

Through knowledge of the company’s financial structure and the risk appetite you then select methods of funding the risk. Funding includes an appropriate mix of retention, mitigation, transfer (insurance) or using captive insurer.

Deciding what insurance is needed, and then going to the insurance marketplace to obtain the best conditions of coverage and cost.

5. Adjust and monitor claims

Reporting procedure should be instituted, and tracking methods developed, to ensure timely closure of claims.
