Risk Management…the management of the myriad hazards or threats that a business, professional, association or government entity faces. The general discipline of risk management is the responsibility of all levels of management within the entity, however, the responsibility often lies within the finance and/or a dedicated risk management function. WRIN covers the discipline of risk management including trends in exposure analysis and risk modeling, frequency and severity of losses, risk mitigation strategies, loss control and safety precautions, corporate compliance, enterprise risk management, risk retention and captive management, and of course insurance and other forms of risk transfer/financing.
