A perfect textbook for risk management programs, Risk Management and Insurance in Canada, 2e provides a balanced introduction to the subject – from identifying and analysing potential risk exposures, complete with real-life examples, to assessing the alternatives for dealing with them.

Insurance is a complex industry. Employing 280,000 people, it has an enormous impact on the economy and on the day-to-day lives the average Canadian. However, surprisingly few people fully understand the issues that must be considered when selecting an appropriate insurance policy.

Through an in-depth survey of commonly available homeowner, commercial and life insurance contracts, the rights and obligations of the parties to an insurance policy are examined. Auto, health, and income-protection coverage round out the types of protection needed that can vary a great deal by province and territory. Subsequent discussions enable the read to determine the type and optimal amount of coverage they would need. The book also offers students an introduction to the operations of this large and important industry.

This text meets the specific knowledge requirements for insurance set by the Financial Planning Standards Council (FPSC) for the Certified Financial Planner© (CFP©) national examination.
