FIN562 Risk Management and Insurance (8)
Abstract
This subject introduces the concept of personal, property, liability and business risk management. It provides a framework that allows identification of risk, the probability of risk, the cost of risk; and the means of managing risk. To the extent that risk cannot be avoided or managed, self-insurance and laying off the risk to an insurance provider is examined. The key feature of this subject is the development of needs based solutions to risk management across a full range of options and the development of personalised solutions. |
