     Assessing Loss Exposures

n Three basic elements of any loss exposure comprise of -:
     a) Values exposed to loss,
     b) Perils causing loss and,
     c) Financial consequences of loss.

n It is the combination of these three that lead to loss exposures.
     Mere presence of the values and/or perils does not complete
     the loss exposure triangle.

n Following methods of exposure identification are directly
     useful in identifying exposures to loss of property whether
     real and personal or tangible and intangible:
     l Standardised checklists and questionnaire
     l Loss histories
     l Financial statements like balance sheets, annual reports
     l Other records and documents
     l Flowcharts
     l Personal inspections
     l Knowledge & expertise within the organization and
          available from outsiders
