Risk Management Strategy With Insurance Appraisals

No longer can one afford to simply apply inflationary factors against old data. There are a number of key questions that must be asked in order to adequately manage your insurance risk that an insurance appraisal can help answer:

  • Have we acquired, divested, or r expanded any of our facilities this year?
  • Have the correct cost trend values been applied each year?
  • Do we have enough coverage to re-build or replace at current standards?
  • Do we have an accurate inventory of acquired and retired assets?
