  2. Enterprise Risk Management What is ERM and why is it important? Differences between ERM and Risk Management Benefits and Obstacles of implementing an ERM Program ERM Process Overview Sarbanes-Oxley and COSO Financial Aspects of ERM ERM Risk Management Property Risks-Exposures & Controls Linking Risks and Processes Implementing an ERM Program Risk identification & Mapping Risk response paths Resources and Tools Sample Case Study Questions & Discussion Discussion Outline

  3. What is ERM? “… a process, effected by an entity’s board of directors, management and other personnel, applied in strategy setting and across the enterprise, designed to identify potential events that may affect the entity, and manage risks to be within its risk appetite, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of entity objectives.” • Source: COSO Enterprise Risk Management-Integrated Framework. 2004

  4. Enterprise Risk Management • enables management to effectively deal with uncertainty and associated risks and opportunities • creates Stakeholder value through leveraging of risks and opportunities • identifies potential events that may affect an entity • aligns risk appetite and strategy through risk quantification and risk mapping • leverages collaborative “knowledge” to enhance risk response decisions • reduces operational surprises and losses • improves deployment of capital • allows proactively realizing opportunities • supports achievement of key objectives

  5. Why is ERM important? • every entity, whether for profit or not, exists to realize value for its stakeholders • value is created, preserved or eroded by management decisions in all activities, from setting strategy to operating the enterprise day to day. • business risks are increasing • changing regulatory requirements • boards not performing optimally in risk oversight • corporate governance needs to be improved

  6. Comparison of Traditional & Enterprise Risk Management Characteristics

  7. ERM and Risk Management Differences between ERM and RM • RM deals primarily with operational risks • developing risk transfer/financing solutions • funding for losses • mitigating risk • loss control • claims management

  8. ERM and Risk Management ERM deals with broader risks including: • strategic-mergers & acquisitions, business execution, research & development, customers • operational-business interruption, supply chain, fraud, efficiency, safety • human capital-employment practices, turnover, leadership, absence management • legal/regulatory-compliance • technology- intellectual property, information security • financial- foreign exchange, credit • reputation- market share

  9. Charting the Course

  10. Investors Demand increased financial disclosure and regulatory compliance Market/Credit Analysts Require that management strengthen its risk disclosure capabilities Stakeholders Demand that management adequately identify all material risks that impact cash flow, capital and mission Auditors Current protocols require organizations to report risks in a forward-looking context Driving Forces Behind ERM Organization

  11. Obstacle inadequate senior management support inability to show immediate ROI time & resources required cultural incompatibilities inadequate IT systems risk silo thinking Benefit aligns management consensus and buy in provides process to measure business threats & ROI enhances capital allocation process links operations, strategic and financial decision making via portfolio management improves achievement of business objectives ERM Benefits and Obstacles

  12. The COSO Framework ERM as defined in the framework: • Is a process • Is effected by people • Is applied in strategy setting • Is applied across the enterprise • Is designed to identify potential events • Manages risks within risk appetite • Provides “reasonable assurance” • Supports achievement of key objectives Source: COSO Enterprise Risk Management – Integrated Framework, 2004

  13. ERM & Sarbanes-Oxley • Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 • focuses immediate management attention on financial reporting risk and internal control systems • sets forth an ongoing requirement for annual attestation • financial reporting risks are closely linked to enterprise wide risk monitoring and reporting • COSO Framework • provides a comprehensive framework for addressing risk across the organization • helps to organize project based initiatives surrounding Sarbanes-Oxley towards a process oriented and sustainable approach

  14. Linking Risks & Processes • Reduce Operational Surprises and Losses - Identify • Weather • Terrorism • Skyrocketing Costs • Workers’ Compensation • Health Care • Retirement Funding • Insurance Cycles • Major Transportation System Failures • Economic Downturns • Baby Boomers Retiring • Fuel Prices • Consent Decrees

  16. Handling Exposures

  17. Financial Aspects • Reduce Operational Surprises and Losses - Finance • Retention • Auto PD, Working layers for GL, EPL, LEL, W/C, Property, Auto Liability • Deductible/SIR • Can you afford your SIR Program? • Stop Loss • Gaps • Multiple Lines Loss • Uninsurable Losses

  26. Implementing an ERM Program • Establish a vision and plan with objectives • Develop a supporting business case • Obtain senior level support • Form a cross functional team to lead the process • Communicate activities and progress

  27. Implementing an ERM Program Step 1 • Identify key risks via interviews and surveys • Link key risks to corporate strategic objectives • Benchmark risks • Map risks Step 2 • Quantify identified risks • Assess the entity’s risk appetite and operating environment Step 3 • Identify insurance and non-insurance risk responses Step 4 • Create specific, measurable and time-limited response plans that are acceptable and realistic to control risks • Implement continuous monitoring and improvement processes

  28. ERM Process • Risk • Identification • Risk • Quantification • Risk • Response • Implement • Solutions Step • Seek perspectives of • entity and key • stakeholders • Structured self assessment • Interviews/surveys • Benchmarking • Individual risk categories (strategic, operational, financial, legal/regulatory, technological or human capital) • Risk mapping • Risk analysis/ modeling • Financial impact • Probability • Interdependencies • Actuarial analysis • Risk portfolio modeling • Risk bearing capacity / corporate risk tolerance • Optimize risk financing • DFA models • Alternative Risk finance (captive, finite, etc.) • Pricing models • Risk management solutions / action plans • Develop risk finance marketing strategy and select markets/trading partners • Implement risk mitigation strategies • Implementation of risk financing strategies • Ongoing ERM process and organization • RM Information Systems and monitoring capabilities Activities • Risk inventory • Risk map (qualitative) • Key risks determined • Risk map (quantitative) • Quantitative risk profile • Advice to optimize financial and operational mitigation strategies • Risk finance programs • Risk mitigation programs • Ongoing ERM process Output
