The State Office of Risk Management (“SORM”) secures insurance for the State and administers the State’s self-insured programs. A Risk Management Information System (“RMIS”) benefits the state because it will help ensure accurate and consistent tracking and reporting of the State’s Liability, Property, and Workers’ Compensation claims and program activity. The State Office of Risk Management is entrusted to administer a comprehensive risk management program to all State agencies, colleges and universities, exclusive of the University of Colorado, University of Northern Colorado, Colorado State University, Ft. Collins, Colorado Mesa University, Fort Lewis College, Adams State University, and Western State Colorado University. In addition, the State Office of Risk Management handles claims adjustment and investigation, as well as providing legal defense of claims.
