Enabling our Liability-Auto-Property (LAP) members to deliver vital public services without interruption and within ever tighter budgets is part of CIRMA's mission. CIRMA works with our members to develop a risk management program tailored to their organization's needs. CIRMA's approach is not prescriptive or restrictive; instead, we work with our members, coaching and providing them the tools and resources they need to help them avoid liability, prevent accidents, and reduce losses.
We help members develop a consensus about their tolerance of risk; then help them set realistic, positive objectives, then select appropriate risk management strategies, techniques and best practices to succeed in reducing losses. Risk Management staff provides valuable context, expertise, and education. Context is provided through analysis of trends, both the member's individual loss history and analysis of changes in the larger legal and social environment.

CIRMA's analytical systems provide our members a far richer, more detailed understanding of their operations and risk than traditional system that concentrate on claims history. CIRMA's sophisticated analytical systems provide real-time tracking, analysis, and reporting capabilities for our members, enabling them to monitor, measure, and thereby better manage risk.
CIRMA's risk management analysts consolidate and then analyze loss data to identify trends and loss drivers. CIRMA's analytical capabilities provide our members a view -- as broad an overview or sharply focused as needed -- at the organization, department, location or individual employee level. Thus enabling them to better manage risk and create more efficient operations.
