Reveals the types of risk a captive can handle, how to determine if a
captive is feasible, how to manage and operate a captive, and more!
This new third edition, 264-page book will help you understand what captive
insurance is and why it is used in the risk management process. It reveals the
types of risk that can be handled by captives, why captives can be effective as
a risk management tool, tax and accounting considerations, how to determine if
a captive is feasible, how to choose a domicile, and how to manage and operate
a captive.
Westover will guide you to answer the question every risk manager should be
able to answer (or every broker should be able to explain for their client):
"If I have a captive, why? If I don't have a captive, why
not?"
