Introduction to risk management and insuranceVipul Kumar
This document provides an introduction and overview of risk management concepts. It defines key terms like risk, peril, and hazard, explaining that risk refers to the possibility of loss, peril is the cause of loss, and hazard increases the possibility of loss. It also distinguishes between pure risk, which only involves the possibility of loss or no loss, and speculative risk, which involves the possibility of both gain and loss. The document discusses different types of pure risks like personal risks, property risks, and liability risks. It also covers the risk management process and various ways of managing risk.
This document discusses financial risk management approaches and criticisms of modern portfolio theory. It notes that qualitative risk management is important given human cognitive biases and irrational market behavior. The document critiques assumptions of MPT like rationality and normal returns. Modern risk measures like Value at Risk are flawed as risks are fat-tailed rather than normal. Scenario analysis and non-parametric estimates are recommended to better account for tail risks and model limitations.
Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing and controlling threats to an organization's capital and earnings. These threats, or risks, could stem from a wide variety of sources, including financial uncertainty, legal liabilities, strategic management errors, accidents and natural disasters
Risks which are not capable of avoidance, prevention, reduction to a large extent or assumption may be transferred from one party to the other party. The basic objective of insurance is to transfer the risk of a person to the insurance company which has easily spread it over a large number of persons insuring similar risks. As such, for handling risks which involve large financial losses or which are dangerous, insurance is a means of shifting such risks in consideration of a nominal cost called premium.
The document discusses liquidity risk, which can be defined as a bank's ability to meet its short-term obligations. It is measured over a specific time horizon and depends on factors like a bank's cash inflows and outflows. Liquidity risk is affected by both external market characteristics and internal factors specific to a bank's positions. Reporting on liquidity risk involves reconciling accounting and liquidity data, projecting contractual cash flows, and analyzing liquid assets, funding sources, and leading indicators of liquidity issues.
Risk management involves identifying, assessing, and prioritizing risks, then applying resources to minimize their impact or maximize opportunities. There are typical business risks like strategic, operational, compliance and financial risks. Risk management processes include establishing the context, identifying risks, assessing them, developing risk strategies, implementing a risk management plan, reviewing and communicating. Key strategies for addressing risks include transferring risks, avoiding risks, reducing risks, and accepting risks.
The document discusses the meaning and characteristics of insurance. It outlines some key points:
1. Insurance involves pooling losses from many individuals so average losses can be substituted for actual losses of a few. It provides payment for unexpected, accidental losses.
2. Risk is transferred from the insured to the insurer, who is in a stronger position to pay losses. Indemnification means restoring the insured to their pre-loss position.
3. For a risk to be insurable, losses must be measurable, large numbers must be exposed, losses cannot be catastrophic, and the chance of loss must be calculable so premiums can be affordable.
This document provides an overview of insurance and risk. It defines insurance as the pooling of fortuitous losses among a group to spread risk. Key points covered include the characteristics of an insurable risk, how insurance differs from gambling and hedging, the types of private and government insurance, and the social benefits and costs of insurance.

The document defines insurance as a social device where individuals transfer risk to an insurer who pools losses to make statistical predictions and provide payments from premium contributions. Legally, it is a contract where an insurer provides security to an insured against specified events in exchange for a premium proportionate to the risk. Key elements are risk transfer from insured to insurer, insurance as a business to meet costs and make profit, and an insurance contract as a legally enforceable agreement. Fundamental principles include utmost good faith, indemnity, subrogation, contribution, and proximate cause. There are various types of insurance and governing laws regulate the insurance sector in India.

PYA Principal Shannon Sumner co-presented “Enterprise Risk Management” at the HCCA Board Audit Committee Compliance Conference, February 27-28, 2017, in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The presentation covered:
The role of the governing Board of an organization in enterprise risk management (ERM)
Effective ERM in today’s healthcare setting
When ERM fails: “The perfect storm”
The risk management process involves 4 steps:
1) Identify hazards, 2) Assess risks by determining likelihood and consequences, 3) Control risks using the hierarchy of controls to reduce risk to as low as reasonably possible, and 4) Monitor and review control measures. All identified hazards and controls should be documented in a hazard register and reviewed regularly. The overall aim is to protect people, property and the environment by eliminating hazards or minimizing risks.
The document discusses different types of risks associated with investments. It defines risk as the potential for loss of capital, delayed repayment, non-payment of interest, or variability of returns. The main risks discussed are default risk, business risk, financial risk, purchasing power risk, interest rate risk, market risk, liquidity risk, systematic risk, and unsystematic risk. The level of risk depends on factors like the maturity period and creditworthiness of the issuer. In general, investments with higher risk have the potential for higher returns.
Risk is uncertainty about outcomes and the possibility of an unfavorable outcome. It arises from hazards in an individual's environment or activities that could result in potential losses. Proper risk management involves identifying risks, analyzing them, and then avoiding, reducing, retaining, or transferring risks. The goal of risk management is to reduce adverse impacts from uncertain events and increase stability and profitability for an organization.

The document defines risk and discusses techniques for managing risk. It defines risk as uncertainty about potential losses and distinguishes between objective and subjective risk. It also defines chance of loss, perils, hazards, and different types of risk like pure risk and diversifiable risk. Major personal and commercial risks are outlined. Techniques for managing risk include risk control methods like loss prevention and risk financing methods like insurance, which transfers risk to an insurer by pooling together many insured individuals and companies.
Operational risk can arise from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. It can be measured using a top-down approach such as the Basic Indicator Approach which calculates capital as 15% of average gross income, or the Standardized Approach which divides activities into business lines each with a factor. A bottom-up approach uses internal loss data but has challenges around position equivalence, completeness, and context dependence. Key risk indicators can also be used to signal potential operational losses.
This document discusses risk management in banks. It outlines the major types of risks banks face: credit risk, market risk, and operational risk. Credit risk is the potential that a bank borrower fails to meet obligations and can take the form of outright default or deterioration in credit quality. Market risk includes liquidity risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, and country risk due to fluctuations in market values. Operational risk is the risk of loss from inadequate internal processes or systems. The Basel Accords provide capital adequacy guidelines for banks to manage unexpected losses from risks based on their risk profiles. Risk management in banks involves identifying, measuring, monitoring, and controlling various risks to ensure sufficient capital levels are maintained.
This document provides an introduction to risk management concepts. It defines risk as a compound measure of probability and magnitude of adverse effects. It notes that risk involves uncertainty about future events and potential for loss. The document discusses different types of risks like known risks, predictable risks, and unpredictable risks. It also distinguishes between fundamental or macro risks that affect large numbers of people versus particular or micro risks that individuals can partially control. Finally, it covers topics like pure risks versus speculative risks, diversifiable versus non-diversifiable risks, and risk measures used in portfolio theory.

13 Teams
__
Average talent teams that get along well with each other are more productive than gifted teams that don’t get along. It doesn’t matter how well a team with low emotional intelligence is in control of the numbers. They can’t even decide what to try to do.
14 Stress
___
Difficulties at work and in our relationships put us under stress. Stress makes it difficult for us to find solutions to problems. When we can’t find solutions to problems, we get more stressed. To get rid of this dead end, we need to know how to manage our stressful situations.
15 Marriage
____
The secret of long and happy marriages is sincerity in your feelings. If your marriage was not built on this basis of intimacy from the very beginning, it will begin to crack over the years. Even small problems become unsolvable. You have to be emotionally open at the beginning of the road.
16 Leadership
______
Leadership does not mean dominance. Leading your colleagues to a common goal and making them believe in the reality of this purpose. Successful leaders are those who can keep their team’s motivation alive for many years. You have to make them desire the work to be done.
17. Emotions Are All Normal
___
Anger, hatred, love, happiness… You can understand when and under what circumstances these feelings will emerge by following yourself. You may have these feelings depending on how you interpret the events you encounter. The important thing is to be able to react independently of your feelings. You may find yourself making promises that you cannot keep because you are happy, or you may resort to violence when you are angry.
18/ Being able to Express Your Emotions
____
Not everyone’s level of empathy can be very good. You may be in a difficult situation immediately. You may feel bad, but people may not understand it. In these situations, you may need to express your feelings a little more directly.
19/You Are Not Your Emotions
______
Keep doing what you need to do, no matter how you feel. Success is achieved by people who cannot give up no matter what their feelings and thoughts are. Don’t let your feelings affect your actions.
20/ Timing
__
As soon as you feel a different emotion, try to think before you act. Because emotional intelligence moves faster than rational intelligence, it can make you act irrationally and make you say any unnecessary words.

Introduction
In life, there are universal laws that govern everything we do. These laws are so perfect that if you were to align yourself with them, you could have so much prosperity that it would be coming out of your ears. This is because God created the universe in the image and likeness of him. It is failure to follow the universal laws that causes one to fail. The laws that were created consisted of the following: ·
Law of Gratitude: The Law of Gratitude states that you must show gratitude for what you have. By having gratitude, you speed your growth and success faster than you normally would. This is because if you appreciate the things you have, even if they are small things, you are open to receiving more.
Law of Attraction: The Law of Attraction states that if you focus your attention on something long enough you will get it. It all starts in the mind. You think of something and when you think of it, you manifest that in your life. This could be a mental picture of a check or actual cash, but you think about it with an image.
Law of Karma: the Law of Karma states that if you go out and do something bad, it will come back to you with something bad. If you do well for others, good things happen to you. The principle here is to know you can create good or bad through your actions. There will always be an effect no matter what.
Law of Love: the Law of Love states that love is more than emotion or feeling; it is energy. It has substance and can be felt. Love is also considered acceptance of oneself or others. This means that no matter what you do in life if you do not approach or leave the situation out of love, it won't work.
Law of Allowing: The Law of Allowing states that for us to get what we want, we must be receptive to it. We can't merely say to the Universe that we want something if we don't allow ourselves to receive it. This will defeat our purpose for wanting it in the first place.
Law of Vibration: the Law of Vibration states that if you wish on something and use your thoughts to visualize it, you are halfway there to get it. To complete the cycle you must use the Law of Vibration to feel part of what you want. Do this and you'll have anything you want in life.
For everything to function properly there has to be structure. Without structure, our world, or universe, would be in utter chaos. Successful people understand universal laws and apply them daily. They may not acknowledge that to you, but they do follow the laws. There is a higher power and this higher power controls the universe and what we get out of it. People who know this, but wish to direct their own lives, follow

Law of Love: the Law of Love states that love is more than emotion or feeling; it is energy. It has substance and can be felt. Love is also considered acceptance of oneself or others. This means that no matter what you do in life if you do not approach or leave the situation out of love, it won't work.
Law of Allowing: The Law of Allowing states that for us to get what we want, we must be receptive to it. We can't merely say to the Universe that we want something if we don't allow ourselves to receive it. This will defeat our purpose for wanting it in the first place.
Law of Vibration: the Law of Vibration states that if you wish on something and use your thoughts to visualize it, you are halfway there to get it. To complete the cycle you must use the Law of Vibration to feel part of what you want. Do this and you'll have anything you want in life.
For everything to function properly there has to be structure. Without structure, our world, or universe, would be in utter chaos. Successful people understand universal laws and apply them daily. They may not acknowledge that to you, but they do follow the laws. There is a higher power and this higher power controls the universe and what we get out of it. People who know this, but wish to direct their own lives, follow

It then describes techniques for handling risks, including avoidance, mitigation, transfer, and acceptance. The costs associated with risks and risk management are also examined.
Ethics is the discipline concerned with moral principles of good and bad, right and wrong. Risk is the potential for unwanted, harmful consequences and includes dangers from events like accidents, economic losses, or environmental harm. The acceptability of risk depends on factors like voluntary vs involuntary nature, short and long term effects, probability, and reversibility. While some risks like traffic accidents are commonly accepted, reducing risks through measures like security systems, fire prevention, and medical care can decrease losses. Risk analysis involves identifying hazards, evaluating failure risks and scenarios, and assessing consequences, while risk reduction techniques actively work to prevent or lessen the chance of losses occurring.
This document discusses risk and its treatment. It begins with definitions of risk and discusses the various types of risk individuals and businesses face, such as personal risks, property risks, and liability risks.

4. 1.1 Meaning of Risk
There is no one universal and comprehensive definition of risk that exists so far
Risk traditionally has been defined in terms of uncertainty, concerning the occurrence of a
loss.
Consider the following definitions:
o Risk is the possibility of an unfortunate occurrence.
o Risk is a combination of hazards.
o Risk is unpredictability – the tendency that actual results may differ from predicted
results.
o Risk is uncertainty of loss.
o Risk is possibility of loss.
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
5. Common Elements In The
Definitions:-
Indeterminacy:- means the outcome must be in question
o When risk is said to exist there must be at least two possible outcomes
o If we know for certain that a loss occurs, there is no risk.
Loss:- at least one of the possible outcomes is undesirable may be loss.
*IF THE OUTCOME IS ONE AND KNOWN IN ADVANCE
THEREFORE, THERE IS NO RISK
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
6. 1.2 Risks versus Uncertainty
Uncertainty
Doubt about our ability to predict the future outcome
of current actions.
Arises when an individual perceives that outcomes
cannot be known with certainty
Describes a state of mind.
The level and type of information on the nature of a
risky activity have an important effect on uncertainty.
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
7. Levels of Uncertainty
Level of Uncertainty Characteristics Examples
None (Certainty)
Level 1
(Objective Uncertainty)
Level 2
(Subjective Uncertainty)
Level 3
Outcomes can be predicted
with precision.
Outcomes are identified and
probabilities are known.
Outcomes are identified but
probabilities are unknown.
Outcomes are not fully
identifies and probabilities are
unknown.
Physical laws, natural sciences.
Games of chance, Cards, Dies.
Fire, automobile accident,
many investments.
Space exploration, genetic
research.
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
8. 1.3 Risks versus Probability (Chance of Loss)
Risk is the level of possibility that an action lead to a loss/undesirable outcome. But
Probability (Chance of Loss) used to measure /estimation of how likely the event will occur.
Probability has both objective and subjective aspects.
Objective Probability:
Objective probability refers to the long-run relative frequency of an event based on the
assumptions of an infinite number of observations and of no change in the underlying
conditions
Objective probabilities can be determined in two ways:-
Inductive Reasoning
Deductive Reasoning
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
9. 1.3 Risks versus Probability (Chance of Loss)
Subjective Probability:
Is the individual’s personal estimate of chance of loss
A wide variety of factors can influence subjective probability, including
A Person’s Age
Gender
Intelligence
Education, And
The Use of Alcohol.
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
10. 1.4 RISK, PERIL AND HAZARD
Peril:
A peril is a potential event or factor that can cause a loss,
Common perils that cause property damage included fire, lightning,
windstorm, hail, tornadoes, earthquakes, theft and robbery.
Hazard:
A hazard is a condition that creates or increases the chance of loss.
it is possible for something to be both a peril and hazard
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
11. 1.4 RISK, PERIL AND
HAZARD…
There are four major types of hazards:
Physical hazard: physical condition that
increases the chance of loss
Moral Hazard: dishonesty or character defects in
an individual that increase the frequency or
severity of loss
Morale Hazard: carelessness or indifference to a
loss because of existence of insurance.
Legal Hazard: characteristics of the legal system
or regulatory environment that increase the
frequency or severity of losses
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
12. Individual Assignment
(10%)
Conducting a Hazard Assessment
Hazard Assessments
A hazard assessment is a thorough assessment of
the workplace or specific task for the purpose of
identifying what actual and potential hazards exist.
with the intent, where possible, to first eliminate
the hazard or reduce the hazard by using
engineering controls, administrative controls, or
personal protective equipment
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
13. 1.5 CLASSIFICATION OF RISK
Risk can be classified into several distinct categories. The major
categories are as follows:
Objective and subjective Risks.
Pure and Speculative Risks.
Fundamental and Particular Risks.
Financial and non-financial
Static and dynamic Risks:
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
14. 1.5 CLASSIFICATION OF RISK
Objective Risk (Statistical Risk)
Objective risk is defined as the relative variation of actual loss from
expected loss
Objective risk declines as the number of exposures increases
As the number of exposures increases, can predict future loss
experience more accurately because it can rely on the law of large
number
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
15. 1.5 CLASSIFICATION OF RISK
Subjective Risk
uncertainty based on a person’s mental condition or state of mind
High subjective risk often results in conservative and prudent
behavior, while
low subjective risk may result in less conservative behavior.
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
16. 1.5 CLASSIFICATION OF RISK…
Pure Risks:
a situation in which there are only the possibilities
of loss or not loss.
The only possible outcomes are adverse (loss) and
neutral (no loss)
Examples: premature death, industrial accidents,
terrible medical expenses, and damage to property
from fire, lightning, flood, or earthquake.
The major types of pure risk that can create great
financial insecurity include
Personal Risks.
Property Risks.
Liability Risks.
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
17. 1.5 CLASSIFICATION OF RISK…
Personal Risks. There are four major personal risks.
Risk of premature death.
Risk of insufficient income during retirement.
Risk of poor health.
Risk of unemployment.
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
18. 1.5 CLASSIFICATION OF RISK…
Property Risks:-
Direct loss: financial loss that results from
the physical damage, destruction, or theft of
the property
Indirect loss or consequential loss is
financial loss that results indirectly from the
occurrence of a direct physical damage or
theft loss.
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
19. 1.5 CLASSIFICATION OF RISK…
Liability Risks:-
legally liable if you do something that result in bodily
injury or property damage to someone else
A court of law order
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
20. 1.5 CLASSIFICATION
OF RISK…
Speculative Risks:-
a situation in which
either profit or loss is
possible
betting on horse race,
card games, investing in
real estate, and going
into business for your
self.
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
21. 1.5 CLASSIFICATION
OF RISK…
Fundamental Risks:-
a risk that affects the
entire economy or large
numbers of persons or
groups within the
economy
rapid inflation, cyclical
unemployment, war,
Hurricanes, tornadoes,
earthquakes, floods, and
forest and grass fires .
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
22. 1.5 CLASSIFICATION
OF RISK…
Particular Risks:-
a risk that affects only
individuals and not the
entire community
car thefts, gold thefts,
bank robberies, and
dwelling fires.
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
24. 1.5 CLASSIFICATION OF RISK…
Static Risks
loss arises from cause other than change in the economy
occur with a degree of regularity overtime and are
generally predictable
Dynamic Risks
resulting from change in the economy.
Change in the price level, consumer test, income and
output and technology may cause financial loss
less predictable than static risks, as they do not occurred
with any precise degree of regularity

Objectives of Risk Management
Steps in the Risk Management Process
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
30. 2.1 Meaning of Risk Management
A systematic process for:
The identification and evaluation of pure loss exposures faced by an
organization or individual
and for the selection and administration of the most appropriate
technique for treating such exposures
such that negative outcomes are minimized (or avoided altogether),
and positive outcomes are capitalized upon.
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
31. 2.2 Objectives of Risk Management
Risk management has important objectives.
These objectives can be classified as either
(1) Pre loss Objectives
(2) Post loss Objectives
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
32. 2.2 Objectives of Risk Management…
(1) Pre loss Objectives
Important objectives before a loss occurs include:-
Economy: cost of safety programs, insurance premiums paid, and the
costs associate with different techniques for handling losses
Reduction of Anxiety, and
Meeting Legal Obligations: to install safety devices to protect workers
from harm, to dispose of harmful waste material properly and to label
consumer products appropriately

33. 2.2 Objectives
of Risk
Management…
(2) Post loss Objectives
Important objectives after a loss occurs include:-
Survival
Continued Operation
Stability of Earnings
Continued Growth and
Social Responsibility
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
34. 2.3 Steps in the Risk Management Process
The Risk Management Process Involves Four Steps:
Step 1: Identifying potential losses (Risk
Identification)
Step 2: Evaluate Potential losses (Risk Measurement)
Step 3: Select the appropriate Techniques for treating
loss exposure, and
Step 4: Implement and administer the program.
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
35. Step 1: Identifying potential losses (Risk
Identification)
Identify all major and minor loss exposures
A loss exposure is any situation where a loss is possible, whether loss
occurs are not
Loss exposures typically classified as (Sources of Risks)
The sources of possible losses are recognized
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
36. Loss Exposures (Sources of
Risks):
Property Loss Exposures
Business Income Loss Exposures
Human Resources Loss Exposures
Crime Loss Exposures
Employee Benefits Loss Exposures
Foreign Loss Exposures
Liability Loss Exposures
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
37. Loss Exposures (Sources of Risks)...
Employee Benefit Loss Exposures:
Failure to comply with government regulation
Failure to pay promised benefits
Group life and health and retirement plan exposures.
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
38. Loss Exposures (Sources of Risks)…

Acts of terrorism
Plants, business property, inventory
Foreign currency risks
Kidnapping of key persons
Political risks
Liability Risks:
Defective Products
Sexual harassment of employees,
discrimination against employees,
wrongful termination
Misuse of internet and e-mail
transactions
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
39. Techniques for Identifying Risks:

2. Risk Analysis Questionnaires
3. The Financial Statement Method:
4. The Flow Chart Method:
5. Contract Analysis:
6. Physical Inspection
7. Interactions With Other Departments:
8. Interactions With Outside Suppliers
And Professional Organizations
9. Statistical Records Of Losses
10. Historical Loss Data
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
40. Techniques for Identifying Risks:
Loss Exposure Checklists:
specifies numerous potential sources of loss from destruction of assets
and from legal liability
Some are designed for specific industries
such as manufacturers, retail stores, educational institutions, or religious
organizations
Others focuses on a specific category of exposure
such as real and personal property
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
41. Step 2: Risk Measurement
(Risk Evaluation)
To evaluate and measure the impact
of losses on the firm.
This step involves on estimation of
the potential frequency and severity
of loss.
Loss frequency
Refers to the probable number of
losses that may occur during the
some given period.
Loss severity
Refers to the probable size of the
losses that may occur.
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
42. Step 2: Risk Measurement (Risk
Evaluation)…
This is important so that the various loss
exposures can be ranked according to their
relative importance
In addition, the relative frequency and
severity of each loss exposure must be
estimated so that the risk manager can
select the most appropriate technique, or
combination of techniques, for treating the
loss exposure.
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
43. Guidelines for
Measuring Severity:
Maximum possible loss
- is the worst loss that could possibly happen to
the firm during its lifetime.
- Is the "worst case scenario" and the most
pessimistic view
Maximum probable loss (PML)
- is the worst loss that is likely to happen.
-is inversely proportional to the size of a
structure and the effectiveness of any
protective safeguards.
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
44. Step 3: Select the appropriate techniques
for treating loss exposure (Risk Control)
The major techniques to handling risks are:
1. Risk Control
Risk Avoidance
Loss Control
2. Risk Financing Technics
Risk Retention
Insurance
Non-Insurance Transfer
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
45. 1. Risk Control
Risk Avoidance
- Avoidance means a certain loss exposure is never
acquired, or
- An existing loss exposure is abandoned
- Conscious decision not to expose oneself or one’s firm
to a particular risk of loss
- To decrease one’s chance of loss to zero
- The firm may not avoid all the losses and may not be
feasible or practical to avoid all the exposures
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
46. 1. Risk Control …
Loss Control
- When losses cannot be avoided, actions may be taken to reduce the
probability of losses or to decrease the cost of losses that do occur
- Involves making conscious decisions regarding the ways those
activities will be conducted
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
47. 1. Risk Control …
Loss Control:
-Two methods of classifying loss control involve focus and timing.
Focus of Loss Control:
- Designed primarily to reduce loss frequency
- Referred to as frequency reduction or Loss Prevention
For example:- measurers that reduce truck accidents include driver
examinations, zero tolerance for alcohol or drug abuse and strict
enforcement of safety rules or installation of safety features, placement of
warning labels on dangerous products
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
48. 1. Risk Control …
Loss Control:
-Two methods of classifying loss control involve Focus and Timing.
Timing of Loss Control:
Pre-Loss Activities
o Loss Prevention
o Loss Reduction
Concurrent Activities: activities that take place concurrently with losses
Post – Loss Activities: always have a severity-reduction focus
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
49. Potential Benefits of Loss Control
Include the reduction or elimination of expense associated with the following:
Repair or replacement of damaged property
Income losses due to destruction of property
Extra costs to maintain operations following a loss.
Adverse liability of judgments
Medical costs to threat injuries
Income losses due to deaths or disabilities
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
50. Step 3: Select the appropriate techniques
for treating loss exposure (Risk Control)
The major techniques to handling risks are:
1. Risk Control
Risk Avoidance
Loss Control
2. Risk Financing Technics
Risk Retention
Insurance
Non-Insurance Transfer
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
51. 2. Risk Financing Technics
Risk Retention
- The firm’s retains part, or all activities exposed to a loss
- can be effectively used in a risk management program under the
following conditions:
o No other method of treatment is available.
o The worst possible loss is not serious.
o Loss are highly predictable
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
52. 2. Risk Financing Technics
Risk Retention
The following methods are typically used for paying losses

Disadvantages of Risk Retention
o Possible higher losses
o Possible higher expenses
o Possible higher taxes
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
55. 2. Risk Financing Technics…
Risk Transfer- Insurance
- A contractual transfer of risk
- five key areas must be emphasized. They are the following;
o Selection of insurance coverage
o Selection of an insurer
o Negotiation of terms
o Dissemination of information concerning insurance coverage
o Periodic review of the insurance program
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
56. 2. Risk Financing Technics…

61. 3.1 Definition of Insurance
insurance is contractual agreement between
two parties: the person (Insured) and
Insurance companies. When a person buys
private insurance, she/he is entering into a
contract with the insurer that entitles the
person (Insured) to certain advantages but
also imposes certain responsibilities such as
payment of a premium and satisfying certain
conditions specified in the policy.
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
62. 3.1 Definition of
Insurance…
Insurance is the pooling of
accidental losses by transfer
of such risks to insurers,
who agree to indemnify
insureds for such losses, to
provide other financial
benefits on their occurrence,
or to render services
connected with the risk
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
63. 3.2 BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF
INSURANCE
There are four basic characteristic of
insurance
Pooling of Losses
Payment of Accidental Losses
Risk Transfer
Indemnification
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
64. 3.2 BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF
INSURANCE…
Pooling or Sharing of Losses
The spreading of losses incurred by the few over the
entire group, so that in the process, average loss is
substituted for actuarial
pooling implies (1) the sharing of losses by the entire
group, and (2) prediction of future losses with some

OF INSURANCE…
Payment of Accidental Losses
An accidental loss is one that the unforeseen
and unexpected and occurs randomly as a
result of chance
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
66. 3.2 BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF
INSURANCE…
Risk Transfer:
Risk transfer means that a pure risk is
transferred from the insured to the insurer,
who typically is in a stronger financial
position to pay the loss than the insured
Pure risk Include the risk of premature
death, poor health, disability, destruction
and theft of property, and liability lawsuits.

67. 3.2 BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF
INSURANCE…
Indemnification
Indemnification refers to a situation in which
one party (the “indemnifying” party) agrees or
is required to cover the costs, losses and/or
expenses experienced by another party (the
“indemnified” party)
Indemnification means that the insured is
restored to his or her approximate financial
position prior to the occurrence of the loss

Economically Feasible Premium
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
69. 3.3 REQUIREMENTS (FUNDAMENTALS)
OF AN INSURABLE RISK…
Large Number of Exposure Units
THE THEORY OF INSURANCE IS BASED ON THE LAW OF LARGE NUMBERS
o Therefore, the prime necessity for a risk to be insurable is that there
must be a sufficiently large number of homogeneous exposures to
combine reasonably predictable losses
o Lost data can be compiled over time, and losses for the group can be
predicted with some accuracy. The loss costs can then be spread over all
insured in the underwriting class.

79. 3.3 REQUIREMENTS (FUNDAMENTALS)
OF AN INSURABLE RISK…
Determinable and Measurable Loss
o Loss should be definite as to cause, time, place and amount
o The basic purpose of this requirement is to enable an insurer to
determine if the loss is covered under the policy, and if it is
covered, how much should be paid
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
80. 3.3 REQUIREMENTS (FUNDAMENTALS)
OF AN INSURABLE RISK…
Accidental and Unintentional Loss
The loss should be accidental and
outside the insured’s control
if an individual deliberately causes a
loss, he or she should not be
indemnified for the loss.

AN INSURABLE RISK…
Calculable Chance of Loss
The insurer must be able to
calculate both the average

among the various classes of insureds
It is the determination of what rates, or
premiums, to charge for insurance

The premium is designed to cover two major
costs:
(I) The expected loss and
(II) The cost of doing business

114. LEGAL PRINCIPLES OF INSURANCE
CONTRACTS
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
Principle of
Indemnity
Principle of
Insurable Interest
Principle of
Subrogation
Principle of
Utmost Good Faith
Principle of
Contribution
Principle of
Proximate Cause
115. 4.1 PRINCIPLE OF INDEMNITY
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
The insurer should not pay more than the actual amount
of the loss
The insured should not profit from a loss
Most property and liability insurance contracts are
contracts of indemnity
A contract of indemnity does not mean that all covered
losses are always paid full
116. PURPOSES
OF
PRINCIPLE
OF
INDEMNITY
To avoid intentional loss
To reduce moral hazard
To prevent the insured from profiting from
loss
To maintain the premium at low-level
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
117. 4.1 PRINCIPLE OF INDEMNITY…
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
Actual Cash Value (Actual Amount of the Loss):
The concept of actual cash value underlies the principles
of indemnity
The basic method of indemnifying the insured is based on
the actual cash value of the damaged property at the time
loss
118. 4.1 PRINCIPLE OF INDEMNITY…
Actual Cash Value (Actual Amount of
the Loss):
three major methods to determine
actual cash value:
o Replacement cost less depreciation
o Fair Marker Value
o Broad Evidence Rule
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
119. Broad Evidence Rule…
Relevant factors include :-
Replacement cost less depreciation
Fair market value
Present value of expected income from the
property
Comparison sales of similar property
Opinions of appraisers and numerous other
factors
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
120. Exceptions To The Principle of
Indemnity
The important exceptions to the
principle of indemnity are as follows
oValued policy
oValued policy laws
oReplacement cost of insurance
oLife Insurance
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
121. Exceptions To The
Principle of Indemnity
A valued policy pays the face amount of
insurance if a total loss occurs
Valued policy law that requires payment
of the face amount of insurance to the
insured if a total loss to real property
occurs from a peril specified in the law
Replacement cost insurance means
there is no deduction for depreciation in
determining the amount paid for a loss
A life insurance contract is not a contract
of indemnity, but it is a valued policy that
pays a stated sum to the beneficiary upon
the insured’s death
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
122. 4.2 PRINCIPLE OF INSURABEL
INTEREST
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
The principle of insurable interest states that the
insured must be in a position to loss financially if
a loss occurs.
The insured may loss financially if the
property is damaged or stolen or destroyed
123. 4.2 PRINCIPLE OF INSURABEL
INTEREST…
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
Insurance contract must be supported by an insurable
interest for the following reasons:-
o To prevent gambling
o To reduce moral hazard
o To measure the amount of the insured’s loss in
property insurance.
124. INSURABEL INTEREST
REQUIREMENTS
Property Insurance:
Ownership of property can support
an insurable interest because
owners of property will loss
financially if their property is
damaged or destroyed
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
125. INSURABEL INTEREST
REQUIREMENTS
Liability Insurance:
Potential legal liability can also
support an insurable interest
The insured may be legally liable for
damaged to the third party caused by
negligence
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
127. The Insurable Interest To Be Valid Must Be
Recognized As Such Under The Law And Must
Satisfy The Following Conditions:
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
There must be some subject matter of insurance such as
physical object or potential liability;
There must be risk to which the subject matter is exposed
The insured must have some legally recognized relationship
with the subject matter insured.
The insured should stand to benefit by the safety of the subject
matter and should incur loss by its destruction or damage; and
The subject matter should be measurable in terms of money.
128. 4.3 PRINCIPLE OF SUBROGATION
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
Subrogation means substitution of the insurer in place of the insured for the purpose
of claiming indemnity from a third person for a loss covered by insurance
The insurer is therefore entitled to recover from a negligent third party any loss
payments made to the insured
the insured gives to the insurer legal rights to collect damages from the third party
129. Purposes of Subrogation
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
To Prevents the
insured from
collecting twice for
the same loss.
To hold the guilty
person responsible
for the loss.
To hold down
insurance rates.
130. 4.4 PRINCIPEL OF UTMOT GOOD
FAITH (Uberrima fides)
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
A higher degree of honest is imposed on both parties to an
insurance contract than is imposed on parties to other
contracts
The principle of utmost good faith is supported by three
important legal doctrines:
o Representations
o Concealments
o Warranty
131. Legal Doctrines implementing The principle
of Utmost Good Faith
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
Utmost good
faith
Representation
concealment
warranty
132. The Concept of Utmost Good Faith principle Is
implemented by Three Legal Doctrines:
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
Representations:
Representations are statements made by the applicant for insurance
the insurance contract is avoidable at the insurer’s option if the
representation is:
• (1) Material,
• (2) False, and
• (3) Relied on by the insurer/Estoppel
133. The Principle Of Utmost Good Faith Is Supported
By Three Important Legal Doctrines:
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
Concealment:
Concealment is intentional failure of the applicant for
insurance to reveal a material fact to the insurer
Nondisclosure deliberately withholds material information
from the insurer
134. The Principle Of Utmost Good Faith Is Supported
By Three Important Legal Doctrines:
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
Warranty:
A warranty is a statement of fact, or a promise made by the
insured, which is part of the insurance contract
and must be true if the insurer is to be liable under the
contract
135. 4.5 PRINCIPLE OF CONTRIBUTION
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
Contribution is the right of an insurer who has paid under
a policy, to call upon other insurers equally or otherwise
liable for the same loss to contribute to the payment
The contribution may be a proportional amount based on
the sum insured under the respective insurers.
136. 4.5 PRINCIPLE OF CONTRIBUTION…
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
An example:
Given that, Businessman insures his factory under three fire policies for a total of
Birr 10,000,000 Company (A) provides 5,000,000 birr under one policy, company
(B) provides 2,000,000 birr under the second policy and company (C) provides
3,000,000 birr under the third policy. Each of the three companies will share the
payment of losses in proportion to the amount of the total coverage, depending on
the amount secured for each. If the factory had exposed to fire and the loss is 500,000
L.E, How much businessman will collect and how much every company should pay?
137. 4.5 PRINCIPLE OF CONTRIBUTION…
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
The principle of contribution is enforceable only under the
following conditions:
The policies must cover the same period.
The policies must have been enforcing at the time of loss
They must protect the same peril.
The subject matter of insurance must be the same, and
The insured must be the same person.
138. 4.6. PRINCIPLE OF PROXIMATE
CAUSE
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
The principle of the proximate cause means the insurance
company is liable to indemnity the insured, if the insured
risk is the proximate cause of the loss.
Proximate cause literally means the ‘nearest cause’ or
‘direct cause’.
This principle is applicable when the loss is the result of
two or more causes
The principle does not apply in case of life insurance
139. ESSENTIAL REQUIREMNTS OF AN
INSURANCE CONTRACT
The agreement must be for a legal purpose
The parties must have legal capacity to contract
There must be evidence of agreement of the parties to the promises (offer and
acceptance)
The promises must be supported by some consideration

148. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE INSURANCE AND GENERAL
INSURANCE
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
BASIS LIFE INSURANCE GENERAL INSURANCE
RISK The occurrence of risk (death) is certain occurrence of the risk insured is uncertain
PROCEDURE Requires medical certificate survey is made before a property is
insured.
PREMIUM AND AMOUNT The premium amount is depending on
the personal requirements of the
insured the age and health condition
the premium can be taken up to the value
of the property and the risk involved
INSURABLE INTEREST AND
TRANSFER oF THE POLICY
insurable interest must exist at the time
of purchase of a life policy
can be transferred either by assignment
or by nomination
must exist at theii time of taking the
policy and at the time of loss
the financial right can be transferred only
by assignment with prior permission of
the insurer
CONTRACT life insurance is not a contact of
indemnity and subrogation
General insurance contracts are contracts
of indemnity
ELEMENTS and PURPOSES oF
INSURANCE:
contains both elements of protection
and savings (investment)
Its purpose is simply the protection of the
property.
149. 2. Social

unemployment benefits, sickness insurance,
industrial insurance etc
Enhancing social security right for everyone
150. 2. Social vs. Private Insurance
Private Insurance
Private Financing/out of pocket payment
Emphasizes individual actuarial equity,
i.e., premiums reflect the expected value of
losses.
Most private insurances are voluntary
although the purchase of some insurance
is required by law
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
151. 5.3 Life Insurance
Commercial Code of Ethiopia defines life
insurance as:
"a contract by which the insurer, for a certain sum of
money or premium proportioned to the age, health,
profession, and other circumstances of the person
whose life is insured engages that, if such person shall
die within the period limited in the policy, the insurer
will pay according to the terms specified thereof, to the
person in whose favor such policies are granted."
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce

153. 5.4 Types of Life Insurance Contracts
(policies)
1. Term Insurance
Issued to provide death benefit to the beneficiary if the insured dies
within the specified time period stated in the policy
Ranging from few months to a specified number of years such as 10
years, 15 years, 20 years
The policy provides only temporary protection and has no saving
element
The cost/premium payment is relatively low.
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
154. Types of Term life Insurance
I. Level Term Policy
This policy provides a constant sum assured (amount of money
payable in the event of death) throughout the term of the policy
The amount paid out is the same whether you’re near the start or end
of your policy.
It is the cheapest form of life insurance since the cover is only
temporary and
There is normally no surrender value available on early termination
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
155. What can
level term life
insurance
cover?
The pay-out from level term life insurance
can be used in the way your beneficiaries
want. For example, it can help:
Cover a mortgage
Pay for school or university fees
Pay for everyday living expenses
Give your loved ones a nest egg
Pay for your funeral
Pay off personal loans and debts
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
156. Types of Term life Insurance
II. Decreasing (or Diminishing) Term Policy
The amount of claims to be paid to the insured decreases periodically
(possibly each year, month, quarter or half year) by a stated amount,
Decreasing to nil at the end of the term
These policies are usually issued to borrowers of money
Also known as "mortgage – redemption policy."
Premiums for such type of policies are paid at the beginning of the policy.
It gives financial protection to the creditor and the dependents of the debtor
in the event of accidental death of the debtor

III) Increasing Term Contract
Designed to combat the effects of inflation
the initial amount of insurance increases every year at a rate
determined in advance (often 10%) Whenever the sum assured
is increased, the premium is correspondingly raised
the amount of death benefit depends on when the insured dies;
the later this occurs, the higher the death benefit

172. 5. Life Insurance Premium Determination
INSURANCE
PREMIUM
The amount of money an individual or business must pay for an
insurance policy.
Paid periodically for policies that cover healthcare, auto, home,
and life insurance,
Gross Annual Premium (GAP) = Net Annual Premium (NAP) + Loading
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
173. NET PREMIUM
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
Net premium is the amount received or written
on insurance policies when premiums are
incurred or paid
Net premium can be referred to as the present
value of policy benefits less the present value
of premiums payable in the future.
Hence, net premium does not consider any
expenses expected in the future for policy
maintenance.
174. NET PREMIUM
The net premium calculation does not consider
expenses,
include commissions paid to agents who sell the
policies, legal expenses associated with
settlements, salaries, taxes, clerical costs, and
other general expenses

Consider term insurance policy buyers at age 30 male
population of (policy holder)958,000.,The expected number of
death is 1657,the policy amount(death benefit) is birr 5000 , the
going interest rate is 10%.Assuming a one year term insurance
policy purchased by the insured group, compute the NSP?
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
189. Method-I
Step one: Compute the expected future death claim (EFDC)
(EFDC) = policy amount x number of people dying
= 5000x1657=8,285, 000
Addis Ababa University, School of Commerce
190. Method-I
Step two: Find the present value of the expected future death
claim.
PV (EFDC) = EFDC = 8,285,000 = 7, 531, 818.18
