The Captive’s Role in Enterprise Risk Management

Defining

“

Risk

”

:

“Any event or action that will adversely affect an organization's

ability to achieve its business objectives and successfully

execute its strategy.”

(5)

The Captive’s Role in Enterprise Risk Management

“

Risk Management

”

is:

“An analysis of the risks, internal and external, for which

insurance and/or self-insurance should be procured and the

administration of the claims management, loss control, and

safety management programs necessary to protect the

assets of the organization from loss.”

(6)

The Captive’s Role in Enterprise Risk Management

“

_{Enterprise Risk Management}

”

_is:

“

_{Everything that}

_{‘Risk Management’ is…but includes a further}

analysis of all risks, internal and external, that may prevent an

organization from achieving its objectives. It is an integrated,

structured, and matrix-driven strategy aligning processes, people,

technology, and knowledge with the purpose of evaluating and

managing the daily uncertainties the enterprise faces.

The Captive’s Role in Enterprise Risk Management



ERM is best addressed and evaluated through focused internal resources



ERM is a bi-product of a focused multi-disciplinary approach reflecting clinical,

financial, and business development risks inherent in operations



ERM is a integrative initiative that reaches into all aspects of the organization’s

operations



ERM is evolutionary...it is part of a continuous process of self-evaluation and change



ERM requires a strong board of directors involvement and supervision

(10)

The Captive’s Role in Enterprise Risk Management

The Components of a Classic ERM Program

1. Internal environment

:

how risk is viewed, how risk is assessed, ethical values,

and risk management philosophy

2. Objective Setting

:

identify potential events affecting outcomes; setting objectives

that support and align with the overall mission and the entity’s risk appetite

3. Event Identification

:

internal/external events affecting outcomes; identify risks;

identify opportunities

4. Risk Assessment

:

analyzing risks; assessing how risks can be controlled; risk

assessment on an immediate or residual basis

(11)

The Captive’s Role in Enterprise Risk Management

The Components of a Classic ERM Program

5. Risk Response

:

selecting avoidance, acceptance, reduction, or sharing of risk by

specific area of operation

6. Control Activities

:

procedures established to ensure risk responses are carried

out

7. Information and Communication

:

relevant information identified, captured, and

communicated; communication flows down, across, and up the entity

8. Monitoring

:

the ERM initiative is monitored and modified; it is a continual

evaluation and improvement process

(12)

The Captive’s Role in Enterprise Risk Management

Why Should an ERM Program Have a Captive Focus?



Most captives are fully-consolidated subsidiaries…the good news and the bad impacts the

organization immediately.



Captives are adept at understanding what can (ought to) be insured or self-insured…ERM is

all about understanding balance sheet management and how to keep risk or transfer it.



Captive boards usually consist of multi-disciplinary talents…you need a broad business view

to control Enterprise Risk.



Most captives manage claims efficiently and professionally…expertise that is needed in the

ERM strategy.

(13)

The Captive’s Role in Enterprise Risk Management

Captives Aren’t Static…Neither Is ERM

ERM is:

ERM is not:

A team endeavor; team members bring expertise from all key operational areas to the process

A system imposed from outside sources; a system limited to the evaluation of financial risk

Part of a dynamic, open organizational culture Part of a silo-oriented, non-dynamic culture Broad...encompassing all operational, business, and clinical

risk elements

Limited...encompassing only insurable risks and exposures

Strategic...forward-looking in both evaluation and outcomes over multiple fiscal periods

Static...evaluating risk only at a fixed point in time A continuous and evolving process; more than risk retention

(self-insurance) or risk transfer (commercial insurance)

A once-a-year exercise focused on insurance program renewals and related strategies

Part of the strategic planning process at its earliest stages Reactive to strategies already in place Designed to withstand scrutiny by outside evaluators and

regulators

Redefining the Captive’s Annual Meeting to Include ERM

A captive’s

Annual

Meeting

The usual agenda

• approval of audit • election of officers • reinsurance renewal • actuarial report • claims report

An ERM agenda

• non-traditional business risk • reputational risk • regulatory risk • insurable vs.

(15)

The Captive’s Role in Enterprise Risk Management



Asking the tough questions about what is insurable and what is not



Forcing the discussion about traditional versus non-traditional risk



Using an ERM risk discussion as a board education tool



Focusing the board’s attention on unpredictable, actuarially-volatile risk



Considering ERM in the context of a captive’s existing capital and surplus
