Acquiring funds to pay for losses an organization experiences.

• A. Risk Appetite
• B. Risk Transfer
• C. Segregation
• D. Risk Financing

Answer: (D)

This question tests how an organization funds losses when they occur. Acquiring funds to pay for losses is risk financing, the process of securing and arranging the money needed to cover claims and other losses, through methods like reserves, self-insurance, and purchasing insurance or other financing arrangements. Risk financing is broader than simply transferring risk to another party (which is one technique within risk financing); it specifically addresses how the organization funds those losses. The other options don’t focus on funding losses: risk appetite is about how much risk the organization is willing to accept, segregation deals with separating assets or duties to reduce exposure, and risk transfer is a method of shifting the financial burden but not the overall funding approach.
