Deviation from Standardized Price Lists Position Statement
The RIA Advocacy and Government Affairs (AGA) Committee researches and assembles peer reviewed position statements on issues commonly encountered by restoration contractors. This position statement addresses when insurance carriers and their partners attempt to prohibit deviations from standardized price lists. Restorers can review and discuss the position statement to determine if and how their company would like to incorporate the statement into communications when this issue arises.
Third Party Administrator (TPA) Scorecard
The RIA Advocacy and Government Affairs (AGA) Committee has developed a Third Party Administrator (TPA) Scorecard to help contractors make informed decisions, and to ultimately improve the restorer/TPA relationship. The Scorecard is intended to be a constructive means to drive change within the TPA environment.
Accounting & Financial Management Guidelines (AFMG)
The RIA Accounting and Financial Management Guidelines (AFMG) was developed to provide restoration contractors with a practical understanding of day-to-day accounting and financial management as it applies to operating a restoration business. AFMG was written by restorers for restorers and covers many of the important financial aspects of running a restoration business.
