Risk management
We define Risk Management as the logical
development and execution of a plan to deal
with potential losses.
Risk Management benefits all types of
organizations facing potential losses, including
business firms, non-profit organizations,
individuals, and families.
In one survey of risk managers, 5 percent
reported having a law degree, about 30 percent
reported having a master’s degree, and about
half held a bachelor’s degree.

Liability Losses
Liability losses arise from three sources. First, an
organization
responsible for negligently injuring somebody must pay
legal damages
awarded by a court to the injured party. Second is the cost of
a legal
defense. A defense can be expensive even in cases where a
court finds
the “victim’s” claims groundless, false, or fraudulent. In
some cases, the
legal defense costs more than the damages awarded to
partied claiming
injury. The cost of loss prevention is a third source of cost
arising from
potential legal liability.

All organizations incur costs because they are
exposed to unexpected losses. Paying insurance

The Captive Insurance Company
one approach to self-insurance involves the use of a
company formed to write insurance for a parent, called a
captive insurance company. The captive's parent may be
one company; several companies, or an entire industry.
One motive in Forming a captive is to save the overhead
and profits earned by commercial insurers. A second
incentive is to earn the investment income available on
advanced funding. A third, and controversial, motive is to
recognize insurance premium payments as a current
business expense to parents while the captive insurer
reports insurance income, thus allowing firms to capture
the favorable tax differential between regular
corporations and insurance companies.
