Frequently asked questions from finance leaders
If you’re responsible for signing off on major insurance spend, these questions tend to come up.
Who is the guide intended for?
The primary audience is enterprise finance leadership: Group CFOs, regional CFOs, VP Finance, Treasurers, and heads of Risk Management. It is written assuming familiarity with capital allocation and Board reporting, not insurance technicalities.
Can I share this with our broker or carriers?
Yes. Many CFOs use the checklist and sample questions in the guide as a structure for conversations with their brokers, carriers, and internal risk teams. You are free to share the PDF internally and with your advisory partners.
Will this replace the work of our risk management team?
No. The guide is not a replacement for specialist risk management expertise. It is a framing tool that helps finance leadership ask sharper questions and align the discussion around financial impact, not just coverage mechanics.
Is there any cost or obligation?
There is no cost to download the guide, and no obligation to engage Enterprise Risk Insights in any further work. You will receive the PDF and one follow-up worksheet by email, and you may choose whether to stay connected.
