occurrence.
 Risk is the possibility of loss.
 Risk is a combination of hazards.
 Risk is uncertainty of loss.
 Risk is the tendency that actual results may
differ from predicted results.
 Static Risks
1. These losses can be predicted.
2. These occur even if there is no
changes in the economic
environment.
3. These risks can be covered by
insurance.
4. These risks do not benefit the
society.
Dynamic Risks
1. Dynamic risks are not easily
predictable.
2. These result from changes in the
economic environment.
3. These are not suitable for
treatment by insurance.
4. These risks benefit the society.
Financial Risk
This type of risk is concerned with financial loss. Losses due to non-financial risk cannot
be measured in monetary terms.

Non-financial Risk
This type of risks may be during the selection of career, the choice of marriage partner,
etc. These may or may not have any financial implications and are difficult to measure.

Pure Risk
Pure risk are those which have only two outcomes, i.e., loss or no loss. Whereas
speculative risks involves the situation where is a possibility of gain .e.g. investment in
shares.

Fundamental Risks
Fundamental risks are those risks which are there because of the problems relating to the
major factors such as exchange of economic, social, cultural, and political.
Business Risk
It is concerned with possible reduction in business value from
any source. Unexpected changes in future net changes in future net
cash flows are major source of fluctuations in business value.

(i) Price Risk : Price risk arises due to magnitude of cash flow due to
changes in out put and input prices. Output price risk due to the risk of
changes in the prices which may change due to the change in the
demand for the goods

(ii) Credit Risk : Credit risk arises because of the delay or failure in
making promised payments by the customers and other parties. Credit
risk is high in case of financial institutions, commercials banks, etc.

Personal Risk
Personal risks are the risks faced by individuals and families.
There are number of personal risks like earning risk, medical expense
risk, liability risks, physical assets risk, financial asset risk and risk of
longevity.
 Payment Risk
 Credit Risk
 Transport related Risk
 Exchange fluctuation Risk
 Political Risk
 Investment Risk
 Product liability Risk
 Legal Risk
 Cultural Risk
 Riskmanagement is an integrated process of delineating
specific areas of risk, developing a comprehensive plan,
integrating the plan and conducting ongoing evaluation.

 Riskmanagement thus may be defined as “the identification”,

analysis and economic control of those risks which can
threaten the assets or earning capacity of an enterprise.”
Points supporting risk

• Before identification, in fact risk can be measured.

• Its evaluation is possible only after its impact.
• For risk management, systematic methods are required.
• For minimizing cost of handling risks, appropriate cost control devices
should be applied.
• Risk management should focus on assets and earning capacity of the
organization.
• Principles of risk management are applicable to all sectors of economy
including service sector.
1. Risk management is a scientific approach to deal with the
problems of pure risks.

2. Risk management considers insurable and uninsurable risks

and use suitable techniques for problems dealing with the
problems dealing with all pure risks.

3. Main emphasis of risk management is on reducing the cost of

handling risk by using appropriate methods.
1. To evaluate the risks of the business.
2. To evaluate the appropriate corporate polices and strategies.
3. To effectively manage the people and process.
4. To formulate plans and techniques to minimize the risks.
5. To give advices and suggestions for handling the risks.
6. To make the people aware about the various types of risks.
7. To economize the handling of risks.
8. To decide about which risks are to be avoided and which to be pursued
according to analysis.
9. To fix the sum assured under the policy and to decide on whether to
insure or not.
10. To select the appropriate to manage the risks.
1. Principle of identification of risk
The firm and individuals may face various types of risks like the firm may
face the risk from competitors because of which sales may go down. Risk
may change in fashion or there may be risk of exceeding the cost.

2. Principle of risk analysis

After, identification of risks, the various from statistical techniques are
utilized to analyze the risks to achieve the various objectives of risk
management.

3. Principles of assessment of risk

Risk cost a lot. Thus, assessment of cost of risk is done so that that cost of risk
may be reduced within control.
Following factors are important to cost of risk:
(i) Risk frequency.
(ii) Money cost of risk.
(iii) Human cost in terms of pain and sufferings.
4. Principle of corrective decision.
In risk management, decision making is a process of involving information, choice of
alternative actions, implementation and evaluation that is directed to the achievement of
objectives.
Aspects of decision:
(i) To retain the risk as it is which may be achieved with or without a reserve fund.
(ii) To prevent the loss of risk.
(iii) to transfer the risk through insurance, which involves selection of an insurer.

5. Principle of evaluation
This principle states that each available alternative has to be evaluated properly from all
the angles, i.e. financial, market etc.

6. Principle of alternative course action.

After evaluation a specific alternative is chosen which may give the desired result.
7. Principle of control of risk
Effective control is the basis to measure the effectiveness of performance at
various levels of handling risk.

8. Principle of retention of risk

It is related with the decision of retention of risk.

9. Principle of risk transfer

Risk transfer means the transfer of financial effect of risk to other party.
→ Protecting employees from accident.

→ Effective utilization of resources.

→ Minimizing cost of handling.

→ To maintain good relations with society and public.

Cost of Risk
Risk management decisions are based on estimates of cost of losses and thus the cost of
risk.

Components of cost of risk

1. Cost of expected losses

The expected losses cover both direct and indirect losses. Direct losses include the cost
of repairing or replacing damaged assets, the cost of paying workers, etc.
Indirect losses include reduction in the net profits that result because of direct losses,
such as the loss of normal profits and continuing extra expense.

2. Cost of control loss

This cost covers the cost of increased precautions and limits on risky activity to reduce
the frequency and severity of accidents and losses.

3. Cost of financing
Cost of loss financing covers the cost of self insurance, the loading in insurance
premiums, and the transaction cost of arranging, negotiating and arranging, negotiating
and enforcing hedging arrangements and other contractual risk transfers.
4. Cost of risk internal risk reduction methods
These are various risk management methods available like insurance hedging and other
contractual risk transfers which reduce the uncertainty.

5. Cost of residual uncertainty

The cost of uncertainty that remains (that is left over), once the firm has selected and
implemented loss control, loss financing and internal risk reduction is called the cost of
residual uncertainty.
Cost of price change risk
Cost of price change risk involves those factors in which pure risk and
other risk, e.g. very important risk for the firms specially operating in the
global environment is the risk of price change which may be due to exchange
rate.
Types of risks which a firm faces.
1. Cost of risk and maximization of value firm.
Value of business to shareholders depends fundamentally on the expected,
magnitude, timing and risk associated with future net cash flows that will be
available to provide shareholders with a return on their investment

Net Cash flow = Cash Inflow – Cash outflow

2. Maximizing value by minimizing the cost of risk.

Unexpected increases in losses that are not offset by cash inflows from
insurance contracts, hedging, arrangements or other contractual risk transfers
increase cash outflows and reduces generally cash inflows which will reduce
the value of share of firm

Cost of Risk = Value without risk – Value with risk

 Risk management of individuals and cost of risk
The concept of risk management is applicable to individual risk
management decisions ,e.g. when choosing how to manage the risk of
accidents from motor, an individual would consider the expected losses
from accidents, possible loss control activities and loss financing
alternatives, and the cost of these alternatives, and the cost of these
benefits of gathering information.

Risk management information system (RMIS)

RMIS is designed to help the functions of risk management. These are
software tools. RMIS emphasis upon management of insurance
policies, exposure data, claims management, monitoring of safety and
financial losses.

Uses of RMIS
1. For reporting
2. For claim adjustment process review
3. For examination about reasons of accidents.
Problems of RMIS
 Incompatibility of software
 Poor system documentation
 Impurity of data
 Lacks of service
 Obsolesce
 Inflexibility of system
 Problems of proprietary

Remedies for the above problems:

 Clear and comprehensive specifications
 Need assessment in proper manner
 Reference checks, including on-site inspection
 Financial check
 Standard software configuration, such as DOS or Windows
 Internal access to system expert.
 Solid vendor account team.
Organization of risk management in business
Risk management is becoming a very important function of
management. In small organizations, the risks management is
taken care of by the president or owner. In large organizations,
risk management may be a separate department which may be
handled by a separate risk manager or director of risk
management

Process of Risk Management

1. To define the objectives of the risk management
2. To identify all significant risks
3. To evaluate the potential frequency and severity of losses.
4. To develop and select and managing risks
5. To implements the methods chosen for risk management
6. To monitor the performance and suitability of the risks
management methods and strategies on an ongoing basis.
Methods of Risk Management

1. Loss Control
Loss control are those which reduce expected cost of losses by reducing the
frequency of losses and/or the severity losses that occur.

2. Loss financing
Loss financing are the methods used to funds to pay for or offset losses that
occur. It includes:
a. Retention
b. Insurance
c. Hedging
d. Other contractual risks transfers.

3. Internal risk reduction

Business can reduce risks internally too through following:
a. Diversification, and
b. Investment in information.
The most important step for risk management is to
identify the risks, i.e. to determine where the risks for
the company lie. The risks may be various types like
risk to property, fixed assets and property, other areas
of potential loss like risk for the property which is
borrowed or taken on lease or there may be some
unusual risks like due to flood, earthquake or extra
expense.
Type of Property of Loss
Loss 1. What types of property are
Direct subject to damage or
losses disappearance?
2. What are the factors responsible
for loss?
3. What is the value of property be
exposed to loss?
4. Will the property be replaced if it
is lost?
1. Will the firm the firm have to
raise external funds to replace
uninsured property?
2. Assuming replacement, will the
firm suspend or cut back
operations after direct loss?
Indirect
3. If the firm reduces or stops the
Losses operations,
a. What would be the duration
and how much normal profit
could be lost?
b. What operation expenses
would continue even after
suspension or slowdown
Liability losses
1. What property might be
harmed by the firm (customers,
suppliers and others)?
2. How these parties be harmed ?
3. What are the cost of defenses?
4. What is the cost of defenses?
1. Will revenues decline in
response to decline in response
to possible damage to the
firm’s reputations?
a. What is the potential
magnitude of this loss.
b. What is the actions might
reduce the resulting indirect
losses and what at cost?
2. Will products and services
likely be abandoned or the
products reinsured losses?
Type of Property of Loss Liability losses
Loss 3. Will the firm have to raise
c. Will revenue losses continue after
Indirect normal levels of production are resumed additional capital in the event
and, if so, what actions might reduce that cash flows decline?
Losses
these losses and at what cost?

4. If the firm continues operating at 4. Could large uninsured losses

pre-loss levels, push the firm into financial
(a) what facilities or resources distress?
will be needed?
(b) what would be the additional cost
from using alternative facilities or
resources.
Various other losses
Losses to human resources.
Human resources losses refers to the losses in the value of firm due to injuries,
disabilities, death retirement and turnover of workers. Because of contractual
commitments and compulsory benefits, firms often compensate employees injuries,
disabilities, death and retirement.

Losses of liability
Liability losses relate mainly to legal liability losses occur due to relationships with
many parties like suppliers, customers, employees, costs associated with liability
suits can impose substantial losses on firms.

Loss from external economic forces

This type of losses occur because of the changes in the prices of input or outputs.
Identification of Individual Earnings
1. Drop in family exchange
There may be drop in the earnings of family due to the death or disability of earning
member or due to retirement.
2. Medical expenses
Due to the health risk, there is a big medical expenses, this risk can be covered by
many ways.
3. Personal liability
Individuals can be sued and held for damages inflicted on others. This risk is mainly
for automobile.

Methods of risk identification.

Risk identification can be divided into two steps:
(1) The risk perception that is liability to perceive that there is an exposure.

(2) The identification of the operative cause or perils, coupled to the likely result.
