RISK- DEFINITION
Risk is defined as the chance of having a loss
due to occurrence of an event The risk is always associated with the loss aspects since the word itself has the association of DANGER OF LOSS The definition can be PROBABAILITY OF THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT RESULTING IN LOSS/ GAIN
CLASSIFICATION OF RISKS
SPECULATIVE RISKS & PURE RISKS DYNAMIC RISKS & STATIC RISKS FUNDAMENTAL RISKS PARTICULAR RISKS
CLASSIFICATION OF RISKS
SPECULATIVE RISKS Operation of this leads to profit /loss Leads to speculation like investment of capital in a new venture Operation is desired
PURE RISKS These do not change with the risk The operation of these perils does bring in loss/damage to property/assets/ liability Not desired
Classification of Risks
Dynamic risks Changes with the change in fashion, buying behaviour, trends, technology etc It denotes dynamic nature of the customer behaviour and the products they like to own or use If an organization is not prepared then it may go out of existence Static risks Like pure risks these risks remain static and do not change due to other reasons like that of dynamic risks The operation of these risks always bring about losses Operation is not desired May result in partial or total cessation of activities
CLASSIFICATION OF RISKS
PARTICULAR RISKS Risks which relate to one or few firms, factories or organisations only Losses are suffered by one or few more members of the society
FUNDAMENTAL RISKS Relates to the society at large Losses are suffered by large section of the society/nation(s) Losses may be due to natural catastrophes, riots, epidemics etc
RISK MANAGEMENT
The selection of appropriate risk management
exposure today may not be the best method a year from now. -Many relevant factors change regularly. -The frequency and severity of losses may vary Causing estimates for the maximum possible loss or maximum probable loss to fluctuate. -The cost and availability of different risk management tools cannot be assumed to remain constant.
Distributions. A random variable is a whose outcome is uncertain. Probability distribution which identifies all the possible outputs for random variable and the probability of outcomes.
different random variables. How decision affect p.d will lead to better decisions. Key characteristics of p.d the expected value, variance or standard deviation, skewness and correlation.
Expected value
The expected value of a p.d provides
information about where the outcomes tend to occur. on average , a distribution with a higher expc. Value will have a higher outcomes. Expct. Value=x1 p1+x2 p2+.xmpm.
magnitude by which a particular outcome from the distribution will differ from the expected value. S.d it reflects the variation in outcomes of a particular sample from a distribution.
Skewness: it measures the symmetry of distribution.it has a higher probability of very low losses and a lower probability of high losses when compared to symmetric distribution. Correlation: to identify the relationship among random variables.correlatin b/w 2 random variable is 0.then random variable is not related.
Pooling of risk
Pooling arrangement with 2 persons.
transfer
adverse effect on the goals of an individual or business probably should be avoided Without a systematic identification of pure risk exposures
Some risks that easily could be avoided may
inadvertently be retained
potential loss control is recognition of the likely effects on the transfer or retention of the risk existing after loss control measures are implemented The selection between risk retention and risk transfer as the optimal risk management technique may change after loss control expenditures are made
accounting can be applied to risk management decisions regarding loss control For example, Cole Department Store has been experiencing substantial shoplifting losses and occasional vandalism to its building
The company is considering hiring 24-hour security guards to
However the company should consider whether there are any additional relevant factors that may have been overlooked
For instance, will the presence of the security guards
make employees feel safer? Will the firm be able to hire better employees? Will customer relations be enhanced by the presence of a guard?
benefits and costs were expected to happen in the same year When a longer period of time is involved the calculations become more complicated
General Guidelines
As a rule, risk retention is optimal for losses that have a
management techniques
exact science
risk retention and risk transfer The cash flow advantage of funds set aside in a reserve fund is must be considered in assessing value of selfinsurance
Because losses are not always paid out in the year in which the
considered
If the money in the reserve fund is invested in a liquid form that can be readily converted to cash
The firm may experience some loss because the funds
might have been more profitably used in the business as working capital
Known as an opportunity cost of funds .
insurance fund
implement appropriate loss control measures, keep necessary records, and take care of the many administrative details
It may be possible to contract for these services to be done by an independent third-party administrator
