RISK MANAGEMENT
Surveys
We offer a range of surveys which identify key risks that can impair a farm’s production output and revenue generation.
Each risk is categorised and rated using a colour coded system and incorporates risk improvement recommendations. The survey findings can be uploaded onto our risk management platform, CANOPY, with dashboard functions to track risk improvements and monitor risk status.
Modelling
Collecting, collating, analysing and using risk data provides the foundation for a sound Risk Management Plan.
- Our modelling and analytics tools are used to assess, measure and estimate loss scenarios.
- The findings provide important information which, in turn, is used to make decisions relating to risk retention and risk transfer strategies.
