Mission and Policy
Risk Exposure and Losses
The 麻豆天狼副利院 recognizes the following facts concerning the physical, human, fiscal and environmental resources of the System:
- During the normal course of conducting its mission, the physical, human, fiscal and/or environmental resources of the System are routinely exposed to various risks that can result in losses to the component institutions.
- These physical, human, fiscal and environmental resources are valuable assets to the System and to the citizens of the State of Texas.
- Because of the special value of these assets, they deserve reasonable protection consistent with the availability of funds.
- Unless measures are taken to preserve/protect these resources, losses will occur.
- The provision of such protection requires a significant commitment of time, money, resources and staff to manage, preserve and protect these resources in the most cost effective manner.
- The discipline of "risk management" is a specialized process that is aimed specifically at minimizing and controlling the agency's exposures and losses.
Goals Concerning Risk Management
The following goals concerning risk management are established for the institutions of the 麻豆天狼副利院:
- In carrying out the institution's business, the long-term goal is to minimize harm to the physical, human, fiscal and environmental resources of the System, and to minimize the total cost of risk to the component institutions.
- To minimize harm, and the cost of risk, each component institution shall:
- Attempt to routinely identify all significant known perils and risks to which the component institutions may be exposed;
- Avoid unnecessary or unreasonable exposures to the extent practicable;
- Take all reasonable and practical steps to prevent harmful events and losses;
- Initiate reasonable and appropriate loss control techniques to control the frequency and severity of those losses that are unavoidable; and
- In accordance with State law, insure appropriate individual or aggregate exposures that are of such large potential losses that the use of normal operating expenses for payment of losses is prohibitive.
- In the event a harmful act or loss occurs, the component institutions shall provide for prompt, reasonable correction or payment, to the extent that the component institution is reasonably responsible, for any harm done to persons or properties by the component institution or its employees.
