Introduction

Insurance risk management and claims administration are fundamental components of a stable and efficient insurance system. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of how risks are identified, assessed, mitigated, and monitored within insurance operations, while also ensuring effective claims handling and settlement processes.

Participants will explore the full spectrum of insurance risk management, including underwriting risks, operational risks, financial risks, and catastrophic risks. The course emphasizes how insurance organizations develop risk frameworks to maintain solvency, reduce losses, and improve overall financial performance.

A major focus of the program is claims administration, which involves the entire claims lifecycle from notification and assessment to investigation, validation, settlement, and closure.
