Zara is a procurement manager who is thinking about working with a new supplier to source buttons for her clothes manufacturing business. Her manager has asked her to do some due diligence on the supplier's financial stability. What should she do?
She should use a credit rating agency for this. She should not do this herself as she won't have access to accurate information like an agency will. The supplier may not have been truthful in their tender. For information on Credit Rating Agencies see p.79
Which of the following will you put into box 1?
The correct answers are as follows:
Nothing can be done to change this risk (you can't stop an earthquake from happening), so you therefore need to transfer the risk to another party, or include for this within a contract.
Fudgylicious Inc is a manufacturer of confectionary based in the United Kingdom. In one of its factories an employee has an accident during his shift which resulted in him breaking a leg and requiring surgery. Will the employer's Professional Indemnity insurance cover the cost of the operation?
The correct answer is 'no-this is not the purpose of insurance'. The question asks if Professional Indemnity Insurance can be claimed on for this- no it can't- that's not its purpose. It would be Employer's Liability insurance which could be claimed on. This question tests your understanding of the different types of insurance. There is a very similar question in the exam- so remember accidents at work are claimed against Employer's Liability insurance NOT Professional Indemnity insurance - see p.96 for more information on different types of insurance
The legal principle of insurable interest means which of the following statements are TRUE? Select TWO.
Insurable Interest means that it is not possible to insure someone else's factory. The study guide explains that you can only take out insurance where you have at least partial ownership of that risk. Therefore option 3 is also correct as you have a partial risk if something were to happen to your supplier's factory. You can take out CBI insurance for this. see p.100-101 for further s of Legal Principles of Insurance
