Usually an eye‐opening event, the RiskMDTM assessment process includes: 1. a thorough examination of your organization to indentify and quantify what it does, what it stands to lose in the event of a loss and what it needs to protect its assets and earnings. This is achieved through management interviews, product/services review, and facility audits 2. a comprehensive audit of your organization’s contractual and financial risk transfer programs 3. an assessment of current risk avoidance, mitigation and claims management programs compared to industry best practices 4. financial modeling and total cost of risk analysis
