Risk Specialist Magazine - September 2009

Risk Specialist provides risk and insurance news, opinions and articles for specific industries and mid sized to large corporations. Each article brings together specialists from the insurance market and, quite often, risk managers in major corporations to discuss current issues, developments or to share best practice and their experience.

This edition includes:

Look inside - Enterprise risk management is moving up the agenda.  Organisations must take a closer look at risk within the business, to reduce major threats and identify opportunities.

Protect against merger risk - Takeovers and mergers create plenty of uncertainties and new risks for companies and their management.  Insurance can help smooth the way and provide comfort for deal makers.

Navigating today's marine market - Ship owners face a perfect storm of falling earnings and values, pressure from banks, possible increased risk and rising insurance premiums.  Only careful navigation will see them through the turbulence.

Bridge the gap on subcontractor risk - A new insurance policy offers an alternative way to mitigate that risk.

Focus on Australia - Intense competition among insurers means the market has not hardened, despite a number of natural disasters and growing pressure from climate change.

Thinking ahead - Insurance programmes are often driven by local needs, but to be effective they need to be coherently global too.
