Presented by Shadi Jalali and Daniel Howell, Alliant Public Entity, at the Public Agency Risk Management Association (PARMA) Conference in Sacramento, California, February 2023
Insurance Requirements in Contracts (IRIC) along with indemnification can be one of the most valuable assets risk managers can contribute to their organization’s risk financing program. Alliant is pleased to have been invited by the PARMA annual conference to discuss current developments in the IRIC environment and current challenges.
The IRIC manual was initially developed by public entity risk professionals and consultants over 30 years ago as a resource to public entities. Keeping the manual current is an ongoing effort and Alliant assumed this responsibility as a service to our clients. Shadi Jalali, Daniel Howell and Marcus Beverly edit the manual with the support of Robert Marshburn of CertifiedRiskManagers.com. Each fall the team gathers to review updates to industry forms, recent court decisions interpreting coverage and current developments affecting public entity risk transfer. Alliant has placed the newest IRIC manual on our website’s Public Entity Education and Pooling group page where it can be accessed as both a .pdf and .docx format so users can easily edit the language for their needs.
Recent developments reviewed at PARMA include:
