What does that mean?
Includes management and delivery of services with the least possible risk and exposure.
Support to staff by providing advice and processes that help manage that risk.
For example:– reviewing contracts and agreements to ensure the entity
is protected from potential liability issues. – helping staff with reporting processes and procedures
for insurance losses.
