Insurance Policy Review and Recommendation

Total Cost of Risk Development and Analysis
Sigma will identify, quantify and analyze your exposures to risk and the marketplace's inclination to retain that risk based on specific exposure, financial and market information. This analysis may be used in the allocation of risk related expenses, risk and insurance premium budgeting, and benchmarking.
Techniques including loss reserving and loss forecasting may be utilized in the Total Cost of Risk Analysis. These techniques may aid in insurance coverage underwriting and premium pricing, allocation of monies to risk financing programs, and, if applicable, compliance with governmental and/or industry regulations and reporting requirements. These techniques continue to support Sigma's Enterprise Risk Management consulting approach.
