  • 1. RISK MANAGEMENT
  • 2. Risk is felt everywhere in the environment Be it an individual, society or an organization Father will tell son- Dont speed up the car; Dont visit Srinagar or northeast for Holidays ! WHY ? Risk Immediately we relate it to uncertainty in the outcome of an event. The outcome may not be favorable What does it imply ? It implies lack of knowledge about the future and the possibility of some adverse consequence
  • 3. Tragic events arouse emotions Fire loss Sickness Car acdt.
  • 4. Risk.. Risk is a threat or probability, which can be of the following types: Physical damage to the property Death or injury to self/family members/employees Public liability arising out of the activities carried out Risk Uncertainty about the outcome of a situation The possibility of outcome will be unfavorable Risk is the probability of any outcome different from the one expected (unfavorable)
  • 5. Risk.. Risk is a threat or probability, which can be of the following types: Physical damage to the property Death or injury to self/family members/employees Public liability arising out of the activities carried out
  • 6. Risk. Risk is the chance of a loss Risk is the possibility of a loss Risk is uncertainty Risk is the dispersion of actual from the expected results Risk is the probability of any outcome different from the one expected (unfavorable)
  • 7. Risk- Defined Definition of Risk 1. Risk is defined as the combination of the probability of an event and its consequences 2. Risk is a condition in which there is a possibility of an adverse deviation from a desired outcome that is expected or hoped for. There seems to be a possibility of loss Between zero and one; zero- no possibility and one - certainty The individual hopes that adversity will not occur, like we dont want our house to be burnt or motor car to be damaged, etc. But it may or may not happen.
  • 8. Relationship of Uncertainty to Risk Uncertainty refers to a state of mind characterized by doubt what will or will not happen in future (Certainty is opposite mental state). Uncertainty is a psychological reaction to the absence of knowledge about the future There is a chance of loss or no loss. The possibility of loss is the risk. An asset shall depreciate in value with its use and time is certain but it will be damaged in an accidental fire is uncertain
  • 9. Degree of Risk Degree of Risk- We use terms like: More risk or less risk High Probability or low probability The higher the probability of an event shall happen, the greater is the likelihood of a deviation from the desired outcome The probability of death at the age of 75 is higher than that at 50; so the degree of risk at the age of 75 is higher
  • 10. Degree of Risk Zero probability mean impossible to happen and 01 means certain to happen Therefore the probability of loss is between zero and one e.g. as the number of bullets in a revolver increases, so the probability of loss increases. If all the six bullets placed in the bullet, there is no hope of favorable result.
  • 11. Degree of Risk Large no. of exposures over a period sets a trend which can be estimated. Predictions can be made out of these estimates Suppose from the past experience, an insurer found that one out of 1000 houses would burnt. If the Co. insures 100,000 houses, it is unlikely that 100 houses would burn. The actual result will be different- may be less or may be more. But these houses are insured, The possibility of loss of more than 100 houses is Insurers risk.
  • 12. Peril, Hazard Peril is a cause of a loss, Fire, theft, flood, storm, etc. Hazard is condition that may create or increase the chance of a loss arising from a given peril. Sickness is a hazard for premature death Physical hazard- physical properties, e.g. poor construction, property near a river, etc. Moral hazard- dishonest tendencies in the character of the insured person that may increase probability of loss Morale hazard- indifferent attitude towards insured property, careless attitude towards preventing losses
  • 13. How does a risk arise ? Physical HAZARDS Moral/ Morale Contribute to PERIL Causes POSSIBILITY OR PROBABILITY OF LOSS Creates RISK Possible LOSS
  • 14. Classification of Risk Financial and Non Financial Risks Static and Dynamic Risks Fundamental and Particular Risks Pure and Speculative Risks In speculative risk- there is a situation in which there is possibility of loss and also there is possibility of gain, e.g., gambling Pure risk- there may be a situation in which there is possibility of loss or no loss. A motor car may face and accidental damage or may not be damaged.
  • 15. Classification of Risks Dynamic Risks Changes in the economy Changes in the consumer tastes Changes in the price level Change or advancement in Technology Pure Risks Result of an eventLike Fire, Accdt., etc. No change in situation or Causes loss Fundamental Risks Impersonal in nature- caused By economic, social and Political phenomenon War, flood, EQ, Terrorism, etc. Static Risks No change in economy Natural calamities Dishonesty of individuals, Fire, Accidents, etc. Speculative Risks Result of an eventGambling, etc Gain/Loss Particular Risks Personal in nature affecting the IndividualsBurglary, Fire in a house Infidelity of an employee, etc
  • 16. Financial risk Financial Risk is often defined as the unexpected variability or volatility of returns. Actual return on an Investment will be different than expected. This includes the possibility of losing some or all of the original investment Credit risk- default in making payments as promised because of cash flow/collection from buyers problem Market risk- product price (market conditions), stock price, interest rate, currency rate, etc. Operational risk- risk of running a business, goodwill, Legal risk, etc. Liquidity risk- Trading of a security or asset quickly in the market, etc.
  • 17. Classification of Pure Risk Personal Risks Premature death Old age or risk of insufficient income during retirement Accident Sickness or disability or poor health Unemployment Property Risks Direct loss or physical loss to the propertyFire damage to a house Indirect or consequential loss- additional expenses for alternative accommodation Liability Risks Legal liability arising out of Negligently causing bodily injury or loss/damage to others or their property; Legal defense cost Risk Arising out of failure of others When the other person could not perform or carry out his obligation to provide services as expected
  • 18. Pure Risk Pure Risks Physical effects of Nature Social effects Personal effects Technical effects Storm E. Q. Flood Theft Fraud Negligence Riot MBD Failure of safety Device Haz.Process Death Sickness Injury
  • 19. Costs incurred during a loss-producing event Loss producing event involves both direct and indirect costs Direct costs - as a result of damage to the property - as a result of injuries to Self, family members and employees -as a result of loss in production - for Accident investigation expenses Indirect costs -Liability costs associated with a loss Producing event -Loss of market, goodwill or reputation -Effect on the morale of the workers Costs due to the existence of the risks -Maintenance Costs- costs incurred while taking an AMC, preventive maintenance -Costs incurred to prevent liability losses such as effluent treatment, wastewater treatment, disposal of wastes etc. -Costs to meet the statutory requirements
  • 20. Private and social costs ------ Private costs ----those costs incurred by an individual or corporate firm engaged in a particular activity Social costs --- Costs arising out of activity of an individual or a firm , but shared by the society as a whole indirectly Burden of Risk on Society Size of emergency fund must be increased- to pay the unexpected losses Society is deprived of certain goods and services- due to risk of liability lawsuit manufacturer may discontinue manufacturing certain product, like medicines, vaccines, etc. Worry and fear are present- accident and its consequences
  • 21. Acceptability of a Risk A decision in regard to acceptance or nonacceptance of a risk depends upon The retaining capacity of the organization or the individual The attitude of a person taking the decision Size of the loss Probability of the loss Time Cost of handling the risk Size-> Small Big Low Low Small Low Big High High Small High Big Probability v
  • 22. Risk Management Risk management decisions need to be made prior to knowing what the actual outcomes of unknown perils shall be. It is the study of : -all probable causes -affecting business and -probabilities of all those outcomes and then
  • 23. Risk Management Risk Management is to reduce the adverse impact of uncertain events Uncertainties may be related to Business risks (speculative) or Pure risks Some times it is difficult to separate the two risks as in case of introduction of new process in a factory A risk manager therefore adopt a unified approach to deal with all types of risk. Pure risk can be controlled by Physical control and financial control
  • 24. Risk Management Risk Analysis Risks identification/anticipation/perception Evaluation/measurement Grading Risk Treatment Techniques Avoidance/elimination Reduction/control Transfer Risk Financing Excess/deductible Self insurance/coinsurance Monitoring results/Review
  • 25. Benefits of Managing risk Minimize the negative impact of risks Saving resources- assets, property, people, time Goodwill Reduction in legal liabilities and expenses Increasing stability in the operations of orgn. Ability to face the different circumstances Protecting environment To know insurance requirement RM is only a part of Strategic Management
  • 26. Impact of (why) Risk Management Survival of the organisation Reduced expenses/losses Improvement in Profitability Peace of mind and confidence Bold decision and risk taking ability Stability- less fluctuations in profit and cash flow Goodwill- retaining the customers and vendors Little or no interruption of operations Peace of mind and confidence shall help in Sound management decisions & continued growth Safety of Organisation, employees, image
  • 27. Risk Management Different risk management approaches are adopted by different organizations depending upon the kind of risks they are exposed to, the type and size of the organizations and their financial situation The likely impact of different risks shall be different, some of which may be retained, other may require reduction/prevention and some may require to be transferred to insurance
  • 28. Role of Risk Manager in Risk Management RM has to be specialised person to forecast & plan RM RM should have knowledge and skills To deal with the risks that an organization may face RM has to cooperate and communicate with various sections or department heads of the orgn. to find the different risks and Coordinate with the persons handling the risks. To suggest the approach/alternatives to manage such risks with minimum cost, choose best one to implement. Risk management should have approval of top Management so that plans, activities and controls are established & adhered to in the organization properly
  • 29. Risk Management Process - Risk Identification Risk Analysis Evaluate Risk Avoidance Physical control Selection of technique Implementation Risk Financing Transfer-Insurance Monitoring & Review
  • 30. Risk identification Risk can be assessed/evaluated, controlled or financed only after have been identified Objective is to find maximum number of risks Missing a risk can have disastrous consequences One or more method may be used to identify Risks which my further differ from Industry to Industry Consultation with heads of various departments of the organisation shall provide valuable inputs The risk identified should be loss producing one and proper record of the same should be maintained The past experience of the orgainsation and that of the RM shall also help in perceiving potential risks
  • 31. Identification of Risk Identification of areas of vulnerability and specific hazards which can interfere with achieving business targets. Areas to be looked into: Knowledge about the organization Market in which it operates Business environment Financial strengths and weaknesses Vulnerability to unplanned losses Manufacturing process Management system Out of so many methods of risk identification, a combination of best possible methods are applied The process of risk identification can be discussed as under: Perception of the Risk Identification of the operative causes and perils along with their likely results
  • 32. Risk Identification- Perception of Risk Perception of Risk Ability to perceive an exposure Identification of possible causes or perils The likely result Cause/Source: Type of business and nature of activities carried Production method or processing Place of activity, at own premises or service to be provided at clients Environment- in which the organization is working: Legal environment : laws related to its activity, like public liability, WC Act, Physical conditions : nearby river, earthquake zone, Social and political situations, etc. Role of risk manager is to adopt risk finding techniques which shall be result producing and cost effective
  • 33. Factory- what are risks? - Production unit Stores, Assembly, Fin. Goods, Admn. Block.
  • 34. Techniques to Risk Identification: Study & Enquiry Information Sources and documents: Annual reports, Accounts (Balance sheet, etc.) Agreements and Contracts Leases agreements- responsibility of damages or losses to building or other assets or property under lease Contracts : Construction or other works: their terms in regard to liabilities of organization like injuries to workmen and physical damages Purchase and sale : conditions about liability for the damages and injury Guarantees/Warranties: After sale service records, expenses so incurred, replacements, etc.
  • 35. Perception of Risk.. Accounting records shall reveal: Exposure: Value of Stocks and assets like building, plant and machinery, Furniture Fixtures, office equipments, etc. Interdependencies between different parts of organization, like production and sale; dependencies on major suppliers and customers Organization's financial arrangements and its own financial position Past experience about losses and expenditure incurred on them; frequency of such exposures What shall be the duration of business interruption and size of loss
  • 36. Survey Site Inspection: First hand information to understand the operations and functions to ascertain Safety or maintenance of the plants/operations Different Risks in different sites or operations and their likely impact safety & maintenance Risk handling capacity available there Consultation with plant people will develop rapport to appreciate the controlling of risks Risk management technique required there Time consuming and may be treated as interference
  • 37. How to Perceive Risk Organization Charts shall reveal: Nature and extent of the organ. Activities, its products, its size, its subsidiaries Inter relationship and inter dependencies between its various parts/units Splitting the organization into individual units to examine them as profit and cost centers Decision making and implementing persons; technical persons Organizations weakness which may be cause of a risk
  • 38. Perception of Risk Flow chart: Process layout Manufacturing process involved from flow of raw material, different production stages uptill final customer. It shall reveal the valuation of produce at each stage Accumulation of stock in different stages, like at final stage in warehouse Raw material required and sources and dependencies on the supplier
  • 39. Perception of Risk Flow chart: Process layout. Stage which is critical in the process, any machine which is very important, causes of damage like breakdown, wear and tear, lack of maintenance and its alternative In house repair facility or nearby workshop capable of repairs in emergency Source of power or energy required for production Possible period of repair of machinery in worst circumstances What shall be potential loss or damage to property and to gross profit
  • 40. FLOW CHART SUPPLIERS OFFICE R & D MATERIALS FINISHED GOODS STORE TIMBER STORE SHEET METAL & PARTS STORE WOOD MACHINEING PRESSING & METAL MACHINING PACKING SECTION PAINT SHOP FINISHED PARTS STORE MAIN ASSEMBLY HEAT TREATMENT PARTS ASSEMBLY
  • 41. Risks/Perils-Risk exposure analysis Check list: simple in nature & inexpensive Each peril shall be considered, whether a potential threat or not to business operation Like fire- what can be source of fire; type of construction of the building housing the business, process involvedhazardous or non hazardous, power used; fire alarm system, fire fighting system, nearby fire station flood and inundation- proximity to river, nalah and level of ground of factory Earthquake- type of construction, seismic zone Riot Strike and Terrorism- law and order situation, political, social environment Liability arising out of possible exposures- like pollution, product defect.
  • 42. Threat Analysis Threat analysis: An alternative approach to check list Listing of potential threats to business and possible causes Riot, strike resulting to damage to property and partial closure of business; Picketing- disrupting the business totally by trade union dissuading workers from working Choking of drainage system leading to inundation Floods due to nearby river Epidemics leading to absence and shortage of workers Blocking of road, due to subsidence or collapse of building Disruption of supplies- water, power, supplies of raw material etc. due to damage to supply line
  • 43. Event Analysis Event Analysis: Possible loss producing events Natural Heavy rains, storm, floods, earthquake, subsidence Man made- Fire, explosion, Bursting of pipes, Malicious Act, Impact damage, Aircraft damage, closure of roads, closure of various supplies like raw material, water, power The reasons for above possible events are to be identified to find the remedial measures to be under taken The imagination and prudence of the risk manager is very relevant to prepare a Hazard Logic trees. To find hazards which may cause operation of a peril. His coordination with relevant persons of the organization and outside organization shall play a vital role to find mitigating factors
  • 44. Fault tree analysis Widely used method of conducting a detailed quantitative hazard assessment. Fault tree is a graphical representation of the logistic relation between a particular accident or other undesirable event- top event and the primary cause event. Top event is the loss producing event. Top event is developed down the branches to the intermediate fault events, which in turn are developed into the primary failures Output exists only when all the input exist. Output exists only when any of the input exist
  • 45. Fault Tree Analysis - Explosion in Paint spraying booth Source of ignition Paint vapors Concentration Failure of Exhaust fan Continued Flow of paint Breakdown Of fan Failure of Electric supply Electric spark Failure of Earthing Flames Near booth worker Cigarette/ beeri in or near booth outsider
  • 46. Cause and Consequence DiagramsNielson This method incorporates features of bothfault tree analysis as well as event analysis. Define a critical event- boiler explosion Define both the possible causes and the possible effects
  • 47. Cause and Consequence Diagrams An event like- a cause and consequence diagram for boiler explosion FAILURE OF PRIMARY PUMP SCALE FORMATION SHORTAGE OF WATER PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO BOILER BOILER EXPLOSION DAMAGE TO OWNERS SURROUNDING PROPERTY DAMAGE TO THIRD PARTY DEATH/INJURY TO EMPLOYEES
  • 48. Hazard and Operability Studies Hazard identification studies are carried out at the planning stage of a new plant on the basis of a plant lay out, flow diagram/ process flow sheet etc. Also carried at various construction stages of the project To ensure that any changes if required, can be made as a result of the studies undertaken During the studies, full description of the process is understood and attempts are made to find out possible deviations which may result into adverse consequences (losses). Proper risk handling decision can be taken on the basis of such analysis
  • 49. HAZOP Studies Raw material Chemical A and B are transferred by pump to a reactor where they will react to form the final product- C A + B ------- C Condition: If the flow of B exceeds than that of A then it can lead to an explosion Supply tank of A is empty Effect-Pump fails Intention: Transfer A Explosion due -Isolation valve is closed To excess of B Deviation: Dont transfer A -Leakage from pipe To design appropriate risk handling method ? Chemical A Reactor Chemical B Final product-C
  • 50. Input output analysis The use of process lay out of where chain of process/sections are involved from input of material to output of a final product Example is a manufacturing unit having A,B,C,D,E Section to A 50% 100% B 100% C 100% D SALE D 50% E Contribution by each section in total sale/revenue Interdependencies among the sections in a process
  • 51. Safety Audit Safety audit subjects every area of the organization's activities to a systematic critical examination with the objective of minimizing the losses. It examines and assesses in detail the standard of all facets of a particular activity It extends from Complex technical operations, emergency procedures to clearance certificates, job descriptions, housekeeping and attitudes, Industrial relations, etc. Elements of safety audit: Identification of possible loss producing situations Assessment of potential losses associated with these risks Selection of measures to minimise losses Implementation of these measures within the organization Monitoring the changes Internal Audits External Audits
  • 52. Identification of operative causes and perils Interrelationship of the terms hazard, peril and loss producing event Effect of loss producing Event Peril(s) Hazard(s) Different techniques are adopted to find hazards involved, in different organizations Analysis is necessary at each stage of chain: Cause- Risk- Effect
  • 53. Risk Evaluation For proper risk handling, it is necessary to calculate the potential impact of the risks identified, on the organisation A comparison of Potential impact in financial terms by each risk can be analysed through: Frequency of its likely occurrence Probability of loss or damage Severity of the effects of a loss Perception of the probability of loss and its effects
  • 54. Risk evaluation. The risk assessment- to analyze the loss exposure, which require informations The information in quantitative form is known as data, which is collected, analysed and interpreted frequency of loss producing risk; severity of loss; premium and other costs. For this we need to Examine statistical data on The particular operation/company The Industry The country Regionally and worldwide relevant data available
  • 55. Risk evaluation.. Data related to all the aspects of the organisation in question are examined, like process, Management, Loss control, turnover, strength of manpower, etc. Constraints of Statistical method Only historical data is available Cause of risk cannot be related Data can be manipulated Effects of environmental changes not taken into account
  • 56. Risk evaluation Adjustments/corrections are also required to be made for Volume fluctuation- growth or decline trend Inflation- cost shall be more than the data under study Increase in Exposure- Increase in the working hours-24 hrs., diversification or additions Special circumstances- Change in legislation or change in insurance coverage Influence of the Environment- Economic, social, political, operational changes The result of statistical assessment shall help the management assess their impact on the organization in relation to Property/assets- Building, plant Machinery, computers, etc. Financial assets- money, debts, insurance, etc Manpower- employees, boar members, other stakeholders Liability- public, product liability, directors liability, pollution liability, etc.
  • 57. Risk evaluation. Now the risks are to be prioritized as per impact into to handle the risks properly Small and insignificant- retained or ignored Small size but frequent- may be retained but may also be significant if aggregated on annual basis Medium sized but irregular- may be controllable Catastrophe- large losses my occur rarely but devastating OR another method: Risk Mapping HH- High Frequency and High Severity LH- Low Frequency and High Severity HL- High Frequency and Low Severity LL- Low Frequency and Low Severity
  • 58. Presentation of Data Collect all the relevant data, e.g. number and size of fire losses suffered by a firm during one year Collate the data- arrange in order of increasing size to understand the trend Group the losses of different sizes and number of events in each class and record it (class frequency). The total range of the data is usually sub-divided into between six and twenty equal class intervals, depending upon volume of data The total range of the observations in the example next slide is from Rs. 00 to Rs.600, subdivided into 6 number of equal intervals or width of Rs. 100 This table is known as frequency distribution

  • 77. Central tendency ( Clustering) Most probability distributions tend to cluster around a particular value, which may be middle of the range of the possible values the distribution covers Mean, Median and Mode are used to identify such values Arithmetic mean is the average out of the number of days lost- 223/13=17.5; median is middle number-18; mode is the number most repeated The arithmetic mean of a probability distribution is computed much like the arithmetic mean , the only difference is that instead of dividing by the number of items, each item in the probability distribution is multiplied by its respective probability and sum of these products is divided by the sum of the probabilities
  • 78. The arithmetic mean of a probability distribution- Workmen compensation Total Claims per year (X) Probability Cumulative frequency (P) (PX) Rs. 0 0.150 Rs. 0 Rs. 500 0.430 215 Rs. 1,000 0.250 250 Rs. 2,500 0.100 250 Rs. 5,000 0.045 225 Rs. 10,000 0.020 200 Rs. 25,000 0.004 100 Rs. 50,000 0.001 50 Total1.000 PX Rs. 1,290 /1 = Arith. Mean The expected annual total of workmens compensation claim for the given firm is Rs. 1290 (EXPECTED VALUE)
  • 79. Expected value Arithmetic mean represents long-run average expectations Arithmetic mean of a probability distribution usually referred to as the expected value of that distribution Expected value of a probability distribution provides information about where the outcomes tend to occur, on average. It is expected loss in the example. In the given example on an average the workmen compensation claims are Rs. 1290 per annum. It shall help the risk manager to pay premium price for any year. Median of a distribution is the value in the middle, when the numbers are arranged in ascending order Mode of distribution is the single value which is most likely to occur
  • 80. Dispersion ( variability) Should the mean be treated as a guide to understand the probability of loss in future ? Or further studied to find out the correctness of the decision by analysing how far the losses that took place were near to mean The study of probability distribution indicate two characteristics Central tendency or clustering Dispersion or variability (from the point around which the distribution clusters)
  • 81. Dispersion ( variability).. The less the dispersion around the expected value of a distribution, the greater the likelihood that actual results will fall within a given range of the expected value. The less the dispersion or variance, there is less risk in prediction Variance measures the probable variation in outcomes around the expected value.

  • 85. Application Severity is very important, a single cat loss could wipe out the firm. Maximum possible loss- worst loss that could happen to the firm during its life time Maximum probable loss- worst loss that is likely to happen Risk manager has to analyze cost effectiveness while using any RM technique. For examples: While taking a policy: Premium cost Service charges by Ins. Co./Broker Probable average loss Possible variance While opting for voluntary deductible Premium saving exceeds the average loss While investing on loss preventive measures, like purchase cost of Fire Fighting equipment and the saving in premium in consequence thereof.
  • 86. Probable Maximum Loss An estimate of the monetary loss which is likely be suffered by the insurer on a single risk at any one point of time , e.g. as a result of a single fire or explosion
  • 87. Probable Maximum Loss 1. 2. It is more of a subjective phenomenon. Depends upon: Technical info about the risk. Contribution made by each block to the gross profit of the org. 3. Type of coverage given by the insurers. 4. Past loss experience. 5. Physical inspection of risk.

  • 90. Decision taking under conditions of Risk and Uncertainty Risk manager has to take a decision from the various decisions/options A decision can have more than one outcome, the result are not known (uncertainty) Manager may also unable to find out various outcomes Decision theory is based on various techniques adopted by the manager to deal with different categories of uncertainty Pure uncertainty Risk Competitive uncertainty
  • 91. Decision taking under Pure Uncertainty Pure uncertainty When all possible outcomes to a decision are known (probability is not known) But knowledge of which one will occur is absent Risk When outcomes are known and probability of each occurring can be assessed Risk comes in selecting the strategy/ scheme Competitive uncertainty Decisions after knowing that Rivals using strategy to minimise the gains
  • 92. Decision making under Pure Uncertainty.. Pure uncertainty exists when the manager can specify all the possible outcomes of different strategies but has uncertainty of which one will occur (probability of the outcomes is not certain) Manager has to decide about the various options or strategies and the outcomes as resultant of those strategies Cost of 3 Risk Retention Scheme Pay-Off Matrix(Rs.000) Risk Retention Scheme Claims Experience in next 5 yrs- Expected (Rs.000) High Medium Low A 26 7 0 B 15 14 6 C 10 10 10

Minimum Criteria An optimistic manager who can take a risk, would always expect the best to happen and shall opt for the low claim experience He would choose scheme A with minimum cost under minimin criterion Scheme Low A 0 B 6 C Cost of 000s 10 Shortcomings in both the criterions: It is assumed that the risk attitude of the manager is either risk averse or risk preferer The intermediate or medium values of the pay off (claims) was ignored
  • 95. Coefficient of Optimization Out of those shortcomings, the first one about extreme attitude of risk manager can be overcome by taking weighted average of the results A decision maker shall choose a number between 0 to 1 indicating his risk attitude An optimistic manager shall choose higher coefficient as .80 or 4/5 and thereby the expected pay offs for each strategy shall be as under: Scheme Minimu m cost Maximu m cost Expected Pay-Off Rs. 000 A 0X4/5 + 26X1/5 = 5.2 B 6X4/5 + 15X1/5 = 7.8 C 10X4/5 + 10X1/5 = 10.0 The optimistic manager would choose scheme A which has the lowest expected cost
  • 96. Insufficient Reason Criterion The second criticism of ignoring intermediate values of the pay offs. In the absence of knowledge about the probability of each event, all the events from high to low claim experience in all strategies, shall be deemed to happen The payoff for each scheme is then the average payoff in each row as calculated under: Medium Scheme High Low Expected PayOff Rs. 000 A 26 X 1/3 + 7 X 1/3 + 0 X 1/3 = 11.00 B 15 X 1/3 + 14 X 1/3 + 6 X 1/3 = 11.67 C 10 X 1/3 + 10 X 1/3 + 10 X 1/3 = 10.00 In this case scheme C would be chosen. This method takes no account of decision makers risk attitude.
  • 97. Minimax Regret Criterion The risk manager does not want to regret on the choice of scheme he has opted, and therefore examine the results of another choice.

  • 128. Contingency Planning Risk Management is the concern of top management Management awareness of risk should lead to the designing and adoption of contingency plans for unforeseen major or catastrophic losses There can be instances when a small damage to property or critical machinery leads to prolonged stoppage of business Planning should be such that while the salvaging operation following the loss are being carried, the business should also continue. It is therefore must that the employees must be trained to deal with emergency situations
  • 129. Contingency Planning While preparing contingency plan to deal with major disaster, the management must consider the following: Identify all potential sources of loss-producing events which may disrupt the normal operations Determine the interdependencies between different parts of the organizations Determine the dependencies upon the suppliers and customers Identifying the alternative sources of supply or outlet to remove such dependencies
  • 130. Contingency Planning Find the means of reducing the impact of the potential hazards as identified, such as : Availability of Spare plant or machineries related to the trade To hold a larger stock of raw material or finished goods in different stores/places Find another supplier or customer to avoid vulnerability of business to limited suppliers or customers
  • 131. Contingency Planning While adopting above means the extra cost involved should reasonable in regard to the potential risk Making arrangements with other business organization in competition to produce the goods at the time of contingency to reduce the impact on business Employees must be educated and trained to take initiative to act and handle the situation. Responsibilities should assigned to each employee who is part of the team handling contingency plan so that employee is supposed to know his role in time of contingency.
  • 132. Training of Employees Knowledge of hazards to which employees are exposed in course of their work and steps to be taken to minimise the risk of injury to them or fellow employees Use of special clothes and use of equipments provided for their safety Laid down procedure for all employees to take steps in emergencies, like fire, MB or breakdown of safety devices Immediate relief or salvaging exercise until expert help arrives, like first-aid and fir fighting teams Inculcating a sense of responsibility to safetyconsciousness in the employees

  • 168. Alternatives to Reinsurance or ART Alternative risk financing market- other than Insurance Market(traditional reinsurance) Or other techniques to finance the risks Most of these techniques permit investors in the capital markets to take a more direct role in providing insurance and reinsurance protection, and as such the broad field of ART is said to be bringing about a Convergence of insurance and financial markets. Need for ART came about when no reinsurance cover is made available or the risk are not insurable Why ART ? Tailored to specific clients requirement Spread of risk over time and over many investors Risk assumption by non-insurer or reinsurer, capital market, financers, etc.
  • 169. ART Another area of covergence is the emergence of pure insurance risk hedge funds such as Nephila, Fermat, Securis, Coriolis, Pentalia, Goldman Catastrophe Fund, Stark Catastrophe Fund, Acuance, Soldidum, various Zurich-based funds managed by [Clariden Leu] Bank and Banque [AIG] and other such funds. These function economically like fully collaterallized reinsurers (and some of them operate through reinsurance vehicles, such as Nephila's Posiden Re and Goldman's Steamboat Re), but take the form of hedge funds. A more specialized version is Gamut Re, a tranched collaterallized risk obligation managed by Nephila. Life insurance companies have developed a very extensive battery of ART approaches including Life Insurance Securitisation, full recourse reserve funding, funded letters of credit, surplus relief reinsurance, administrative reinsurance and related approaches. Because life reinsurance is more "financial" to begin with, there is less separation between the conventional and alternative risk transfer markets than in the property & casualty sector. Emerging areas of alternative risk transfer include intellectual property insurance, automobile insurance securitization and Life Settlements. It should be possible to adapt these instruments to other contexts. Professor Lawrence A Cunningham of George Washington University suggests adapting cat bonds to the risks that large auditing firms face in cases asserting massive securities law damages. Professor Cunningham has proposed other innovative ways to transfer financial risks using alternative risk transfer mechanisms.
