Article Abstract:

The failure to comply with the Americans with Disabilites Act (ADA) could bring about costly consequences. The goal of meeting externally mandated obligations of the law has been placed in the hands of the risk manager who is assigned to identify the exposures faced by the firm that ensue from the ADA, examine the alternatives and select and implement the risk handling methods.
