2ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHAPTER RIMS RISK FORUM


Agenda

• Introduction• Basic loss development• Loss Forecasting• Accrual Analysis• Risk Financing• Conclusion



Basic Loss Development

• Purpose: To use the growth patterns of historical losses to predict ultimate losses on policy years that are still open and developing



Sources of Loss Development Factors

• Industry-provided– Insurance carriers– Rating bureaus– Independent consultants– Actuaries

• Organization-specific



Casualty Coverage’s

• Workers’ compensation• Automobile liability• General liability• Products liability



Loss Development Triangles

• Types of triangles– Incurred loss development– Paid loss development– Frequency loss development

• Per occurrence retention– Limited– Unlimited

Per Occurrence Retention $250,000

$3,000,000 Aggregate

Self-Funded

Excess Insurance



Incurred But Not Reported Claims

• Incurred But Not Reported (IBNR) claims caused by– Delay between occurrence and reporting of the claim– Actual amount for which a claim will settle is unknown– Indeterminate amount of time between a claims first report

and when all activity on that claim ceases

Discovery and Payout Patterns

• General/products liability– Slowest patterns– Longest tail because of investigation, litigation, and

time lag between report and occurrence date

• Workers’ compensation– Payout increases steadily over time– Benefits are statutorily defined– Duration of injury and amount of medical treatment

unknown



Loss Analysis – Forecasting and Ultimate Liability Analysis

• Ultimate liability projections– Adhere to FASB and GASB requirements regarding

contingent liabilities

• Loss forecasting– Part of the budgeting and marketing process

added as interest is earned• Varied by program and payout• One decision tool to select the ideal program

Tax Implications• Need to consider when the losses and premium can be
