SERVICES/AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Our risk management consulting staff consists of experienced professionals. Unlike employees of many other risk management consulting firms, our consultants come from industry and government risk-management backgrounds, having held senior risk-management positions in their respective sectors. Consultants' fields of expertise include risk finance, Property and Casualty insurance, loss control, risk-management administration, self-insurance, claims management, management information systems, and risk analysis.

In addition to our consulting activities, we are publishers of industry reference works and periodicals. Our publishing arm, Griffin Communications, Inc., produces the following risk management and insurance-related periodicals and reference manuals:

• The EPL Book
• The Umbrella Book
• The Risk Management Letter
• The EPL Book: A Practical Guide to Employment Practices Liability and Insurance
• The D&O Book: A Comparison Guide to Directors & Officers Liability Insurance Policies
• The Old and New CGL Forms: A Practical Comparison
• Insurance Requirements in Contracts: A Procedure Manual for California Public Entities

Approach

Warren, McVeigh & Griffin, Inc. and G2Risk consultants are problem solvers. Because we're management consultants first and technical experts second, we focus on analysis and solution design rather than on routine review and comment.

To maintain complete independence, we are compensated by and directly responsible to our clients. We refuse assignments that would impair our independence or objectivity. We do not sell insurance, participate in commissions, or receive any form of compensation other than client-paid fees and revenues from our publications. We're not owned by, nor do we own any interest in, any insurance company, agent, broker, claim administrator, or other entity whose services might be the subject of our analysis.

Risk Management Consulting Services

"Risk management" is the term used to describe management activities directed toward the control of accidental losses. Risk management has two objectives: to protect the organization's assets and ability to meet objectives, and to minimize the cost of risk.

Risk-management consultants are used by organizations to provide technical resources and objective outside viewpoints, and to supplement staff skills for those organizations with no internal risk management staff.

Warren, McVeigh & Griffin, Inc. and G2Risk management consultants bring a wealth of experience to their clients. As former risk managers for Fortune 500 companies and major public agencies, and as experienced consultants, our people know how to find practical, expedient solutions to client risk problems. As publishers, lecturers, and expert witnesses, we keep our technical skills sharp and current. Typical risk-management consulting assignments include:

• Insurance program reviews
• Risk identification and measurement
• Merger and acquisition due-diligence audits
• Self-insurance feasibility studies
• Insurance coverage analysis
• Insurance broker selection
• Insurance bid specifications
• Loss control studies
• Insurance renewal assistance
• Captive insurer review or feasibility studies
• Expert witness assignments
• Assistance with contract negotiations
• Public entity pool audits or feasibility studies
• Development of custom manuals
• Risk management information systems
• Cost-control studies

Claims Management Consulting Services

Claims are usually the largest single component of an organization's cost of risk. Our unique Claims Management Review is one of the most effective steps an organization can take to control claim costs. Much more than an audit, it's an examination of all aspects of the claims management program. Our review addresses four critical areas:

• The claims audit reveals the type of errors being made in claims adjusting and shows if errors are within acceptable limits. It identifies needed control techniques.
• The systems and procedures review evaluates the efficiency of current procedures and internal controls and recommends improvements to the system.
• The staff evaluation determines the capabilities of claims personnel and establishes training requirements.
• The processing time review analyzes claim-processing speed.

Typical claims management consulting assignments include:

• Claims management reviews
• Claims audits
• Evaluating or selecting outside administrators
• Self-administration reviews and feasibility studies
• Claims settlement advice and guidance
• Bid specifications for claim administrators
• Expert witness assignments
