Organization Loss Control

I have broken down loss control recommendations into two areas. Loss control for the operations of the board meetings and board members is addressed under this section, the Organization loss control section. Loss control measures for employee/employer relations is covered under the Employment Practices loss control section. The areas dealing with Organization loss control are as follows:

Composition of Board of Directors	Attributes of Directors Independent Directors. The size of the Board. Self-Evaluation.
