Analysis and treatment of pure and financial risks faced by business organizations; development and implementation of the risk management process, application of varied risk management techniques to identified exposures; how businesses manage risk and how insurance is used to manage the cost of risk; case studies.

The purpose of this course is to explore how superior risk management creates value for firms. While FIN:3400 is a consumer-oriented view of risk, this course is taught through the lens of the firm and its investors. Students will use the theoretical underpinnings of corporate valuation models, be introduced to various methods of altering risk profiles, and explore how risk and its management impact a firm’s valuation. This course also provides an experiential learning aspect that allows students to apply their instruction in a real-world context, making way for the opportunity to create a real difference in a real business and to connect with those in the insurance industry. This course is beneficial to all students; however, it is particularly useful for students interested in senior management of the risk management industry.

This course counts towards the Tippie RISE  graduation requirement and the honors experiential learning requirement (for students who are members of Honors).  These designations will be recorded on the appropriate degree audits as needed.

This course is apart of the Risk Management certificate. To find more information please go to: tippie.uiowa.edu/vaughan
