Course Overview

Growth built on poorly controlled catastrophe insurance risk reverses faster than it accumulated. In finance the difference between a healthy position on the financial and banking practice capability and a dangerous one is often a single assumption. The course covers this area of financial and banking practice at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. It is written for people who have to make catastrophe insurance risk work with the resources they already have. The version of the financial and banking practice discipline described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Participants apply the practice within financial and banking practice to their own business line throughout, so the output is directly usable. Organisations that document catastrophe insurance risk properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this strand of financial and banking practice under scrutiny. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this aspect of financial and banking practice ready to put in front of a decision maker.
