Organizations can select a package to have peace of mind that trade partners are properly credentialed to perform work.
The document is a screening criteria checklist from Assurance Screening that allows companies to select verification and documentation requirements for subcontractors and trade partners. It includes options to collect and verify insurance certificates, licenses, financial documents, safety records, references, and other credentials on various frequencies to ensure partners meet the company's standards.

Mitigating Project Risks with Contractors and Suppliers outlines the risks of not properly screening subcontractors and suppliers for construction projects. It recommends requiring general contractors to implement an effective screening program through Assurance Screening to verify subcontractors' credentials and qualifications in order to reduce risks of delays, cost overruns, and losses that can occur if a subcontractor fails. Assurance Screening's process manages documentation verification at a minimal cost compared to project size and potential incident costs, allowing owners and general contractors assurance that subcontractors meet requirements.
General contractors face risks from subcontractors that can delay projects, increase costs, and lower annual profits. To mitigate these risks, contractors must vet subcontractors diligently by verifying their insurance status, licenses, and credentials. However, implementing an effective vetting program internally is costly and complex. Outsourcing these checks to Assurance Screening allows contractors to lower costs while gaining assurance that subcontractors meet requirements through customizable screening and ongoing monitoring.
This document discusses mitigating risks from subcontractors and suppliers in the homebuilding industry. It notes that while not all risks can be eliminated, homebuilders can significantly reduce risks by contracting with the right subcontractors and suppliers. It then asks a series of questions about how companies currently vet and verify subcontractor information. The document explains that implementing an effective internal risk mitigation program can be costly, and introduces Assurance Screening as an alternative that can handle the process more cost-effectively.
Assurance Screening provides status update reports to clients utilizing their subcontractor screening services. These reports show statistics on current subcontractors, such as 9.27% not being properly registered in the state, 23.12% having bankruptcies or liens filed against them, 19.84% lacking proper insurance, and 34.41% not having required licenses. These numbers indicate causes for concern. Assurance helps clients verify subcontractors while not making final contracting decisions. They work with subcontractors to address compliance issues and provide copies of reports so gaps can be addressed up front.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

needs. I never had an opportunity to know my grandmother. She was diagnosed
with early on-set Alzheimer's disease a year before I was born, at the young
age of 58. She passed away when I was only 13 from this disease, but my
family really lost her long before that. Currently more than five million
Americans have Alzheimer's disease and that number is expected to grow as
large as 16 million by 2050. It was more than just the alarming statistics
about this disease, that made me want to get involved with the Alzheimer's
Association. My personal connection to Alzheimer's disease and the loss of
my grandmother, inspired me to fund raise, spread awareness and join the
cause. I decided to participate in the Dallas Walk to End Alzheimer's with
my close friends and mother. Within a month, through diligent fundraising
and hosting a purple themed party benefiting ALZ, my team raised more
than $7,000 for the Alzheimer's Association. I know that the money we
raised will go to research, patient care and providing resources and
education for caregivers. The entire experience was one of the most
rewarding moments of my life. I know that my grandmother would be

Texas Insurance Law Changes for 2012
Senate Bill 425 was passed this past legislative term, adding a new chapter
to the Texas Insurance Code. The new law requires the Texas Department of
Insurance to approve certificates of insurance provided in connection with
casualty and property policies. This new bill went into effect on September
1, 2011, and applies to certificates of insurance issued on or after January 1,
2012.
The new law codifies this idea by: (1) prohibiting a certificate from
conveying a contractual right; (2) providing that a certificate does not
amend, extend, or alter the coverage afforded under a policy; and (3) stating
that a certificate does not confer new or additional rights beyond the policy.
Tex. Ins. Code §§ 1811.051(b); 1811.152; 1811.153.

Stay educated on information and news regarding managing risk associated with
Subcontractor/Vendor Risk Management

There is an inherit risk associated with doing business in general. However, there
are some risks that you can manage as a company. Through active due diligence
and education on current risk management principles and methods, you can
ensure your company is a well oiled machine with no leaks.
Whether your company decides to manage your subcontractor/vendor risk or
you all decide that an outside company would be a more effective choice,
comprehensive knowledge is the first step. In this group, we hope to provide
ongoing knowledge and news on the subject of subcontractor/vendor risk
management and be a place where members can come to ask questions and find
answers.
We would love to hear from you! Please feel free to contact us through our
