Description: This paper introduces a re-rating formula which calculates proposed rates directly by means of fully developed and trended loss costs and current class differentials. From 2007 Enterprise Risk Management Symposium, M-AS07-1.

Description: This paper examines the fundamental principles underlying the theory of rate change. The proposed approach shows improved accuracy as compared to current methods, with particular significance for a non-static book of business.

Description: The bank’s customers viz. non-bank company often get into various kinds of derivative transactions with a bank or some other non-bank company in order to cover or hedge against the unwanted exposure to volatility in interest rates, currency rates or some other underlying rate. A non-bank company defaults when the situation goes unfavorable enough for it to have no other alternative this cascades the impact to many other non-bank companies and banks. I take forward the opinion that non-bank company defaults are more likely than those by a bank in a derivative contract. This risk in the risk management approach using derivatives can be reduced through the derivatives framework proposed in this paper. Presented at 2010 Enterprise Risk Management Symposium, Society of Actuaries, April 12-15, 2010.

Description: This article sees enterprise risk management as a specific application of knowledge in Order to control deviations from strategic objectives, shareholders’ values and stakeholders’ relationships. Before and after a modeling process it is necessary to find insights into how the application of knowledge management processes can improve the understanding of risk and the implementation of enterprise risk management. The article presents a proposed methodology to contribute to providing a guide for developing risk modeling knowledge and a reduction of knowledge silos, in order to improve the quality and quantity of solutions related to risk inquiries across the organization.

Description: The purpose of this paper is to address key aspects of the risk/strategy/finance ERM implementation from both the theoretical and applied perspectives. The topics to be covered are: ERM overview including historical perspective, ERM implementation—focusing on strategy, finance and risk, and Case study of how one insurance and investment company approached the integration of a major risk type within the ERM framework, market risk, into the financial planning and reporting process. This paper will focus exclusively on the insurance industry.

Description: This paper sets out to demonstrate that the economic capital, risk drivers, and business model are intricately integrated, and that this has broad implications on enterprise risk management for financial institutions. From 2007 Enterprise Risk Management Symposium, M-AS07-1.

Description: As an alternative to the widely-used 'return on economic capital' RAROC, this paper proposes a performance measure consistent with standard valuation models, and discusses its implications for prudential regulation. From 2007 Enterprise Risk Management Symposium, M-AS07-1.

Description: People naturally observe risk in the form of the range of experienced gains and losses which is usually represented in statistical terms by standard deviation. In most cases, there are not enough observed values to reliably discern the true amount of losses that are possible in extreme situations. Statistical techniques that have long been applied to insurance company risks are being used to extrapolate from observed risk to extreme tails of the distribution of gains and losses. These processes are essentially an extrapolation from the “known” risk of volatility near the mean to “unknown” risk of extreme losses. “Fat tails” is a term often applied to risks where the likely losses in rare situations significantly exceeds the predictions of a Gaussian (“thin tailed”) distribution. This paper will look at the relationship between the observed risk and the extreme risk in statistical insurance r isk models and discuss how we might create a discussion among model users about the appropriateness of that relationship for specific types of risks.

Description: In this paper we introduce an approach to manage the organizations risks which is based on project management methodology, modern portfolio theory MPT, and risk management techniques. From 2007 Enterprise Risk Management Symposium, M-AS07-1.

Description: This paper measures the extent to which specific firms have implemented ERM programs and assesses the value implications of these programs. We find a positive relation between firm value and the use of ERM. The ERM premium is statistically and economically significant and approximately 17 percent of firm value.
