IC86 Mock Test Sample 19

Risk management focuses on identifying, assessing, controlling, and financing risks to protect organizations from losses and ensure business continuity. It includes concepts like ERM, HAZOP, CAT bonds, finite risk insurance, self-insurance, contingency planning, stress testing, and disaster management. Different risks such as speculative, pure, dynamic, physical, liability, and social risks are analyzed based on frequency and severity. Organizations use techniques like risk transfer, avoidance, retention, and reduction to minimize exposure. Business continuity planning, insurance pools, captive insurers, and alternative risk transfer products help organizations recover from crises, maintain operations, and improve stability, profitability, and long-term growth.
