Description: 2011 SOA Enterprise Risk Management Symposium, Chicago. The stated purpose of this paper is to consider whether a more comprehensive and timely measurement framework for risk exposure is now needed and to examine one possible approach. This paper proposes a new approach to risk measurement that, along with capital measurement and more rigorous oversight, will allow banks an ability to manage risk.

Description: 2011 Enterprise Risk Management Symposium, Chicago. This study investigates whether simulation-based models can be used to predict liquidity risk for banks, which must comply with Basel III by January 2015. The paper looks at the process of developing a measurement framework using Black-Scholes and Merton’s asset-based models to measure liquidity risk.

Description: This paper evaluates the current practice of operational risk management in the insurance sector. Operational risk is nothing new in insurance, but, because of regulatory requirements, companies have initiated computation of risk capital for their operational losses. The current effort to manage operational risk is not a naturally evolving phenomenon, and operational risk, in the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s Basel II definition, is unlikely to be a significant cause of insurers’ failure. In addition, the current Basel II definition of operational risk is not suitable for the insurance sector. Consequently, the invention of models and tools based on the definition is incomplete and illusionary. My findings are based on the analysis of dozens of interviews with insurance industry professionals. I demonstrate the way operational risk is quantified in practice, show that the result obtained from this computation is of littl e use in managerial decision making and propose a set of policy recommendations illustrating the characteristics of operational risk in insurance. This study can be used as a platform for launching dialogues to initiate fresh thinking about operational risk in insurance beyond the current artificial and narrow boundaries.

Description: The objective of this paper is to explore the issues necessary to develop an integrated model of operational risk (OR) and financial risk (FR) within the framework of enterprise risk management (ERM). From 2007 Enterprise Risk Management Symposium, M-AS07-1.

Description: This paper starts from the viewpoint that enterprise risk management [ERM] is a specific application of knowledge in order to control deviations from strategic objectives, shareholders’ values and stakeholders’ relationships. This study is looking for insights into how the application of knowledge management processes can improve the implementation of ERM.

Description: 2011 SOA Enterprise Risk Management Symposium, Chicago. This paper reviews a risk management theory that deals with correlated, non-normally distributed factors, and then applies risk management techniques to the U.S. steel industry using futures contract hedging.

Description: This paper describes the intent and selection process for papers to be presented at the annual ERM Symposium. From 2006 Enterprise risk Management Symposium, M-AS06-1.

Description: This paper identifies some of the special ERM considerations that a corporation which has employees who are members of a multi-employer pension plan, MEPP, should include in its ERM program. The focus of the paper is on the MEPP as an entity and tools to be used in its ERM. From 2006 Enterprise Risk Management Symposium, M-AS06-1.
