Insurance and Risk Management

Course Overview

Insurance and Risk Sectors are vital in life and business because they protect people and businesses from extreme financial loss or responsibility due to unfortunate emergencies like fire, accident, sickness, disability for work, or other unforeseen events. There are many different types of insurance policies, some for the private use of people and their families, and some others for corporate and other entities’ use. Insurance is a way of transferring risk and is used as a risk-reducing way for People and Corporates to achieve financial protection.

Would you risk your family’s well-being in case of an unexpected tragic event? Insurance is no different from any other business opportunity. But it also comes with some unique considerations. Nobody owns and drives a car without motor insurance. While your liability as a private or professional body may not require indemnity protection, would you really consider leaving these risks unprotected?

Risk Management, on the other hand, is focused on the effect of uncertainty on the organisations’ objectives and therefore, risk and objectives should be bonded together as a common strategy. Risk management and strategy functions should be “best friends”. Risk Management must be related directly to the business strategy. The continuous and rapid change of the business environment (environmental, climate, technological, economic, social, demographic, etc.) constantly creates new and complex risks that need continuous and professional handling and management skills in general. This requires further learning and training professionals in practical risk management applications and selecting the most suitable insurance plans.
