ERM in Insurance Special Interest Group
Purpose of the group
In the run up to Solvency II and Internal Model approval, and in addressing the challenges of implementation and embedding, the ERM in Insurance Special Interest Group and Internal Model Industry Forum (IMIF) created a lot of value for members by focusing on topics particularly relevant to the Insurance Industry during that period.
Following a period of reflection, it has been agreed with IRM that a new ERM in Insurance Special Interest Group will be set up, including within it the previous remit of the IMIF, to enable an ongoing focus on the particular challenges of risk professionals involved in risk and capital management and recognising that Internal Models are now part of business-as-usual activities of many insurers in the UK.
The intention would be to develop a programme that combines disseminating existing good practice and thought leadership.
In order to ensure that this group starts with a clear focus on areas and issues of relevance to members, the co-chairs would like those who are interested to get in touch with them in respect of this group at isaac.alfon@crescendo-erm.com and justin.elks@crowe.com. They are particularly interested in:
- Ideas for areas or topics you’d like to see the new group focus on
- Expressions of interest to provide help, support and leadership on particular areas
This group revolves around Enterprise Risk Management in insurance, with a clear focus on technical and soft issues. Incorporating the existing Internal Model Industry Forum to reinforce that internal models are now part of the business-as-usual risk and capital management activities of many insurers.
Aims and Objectives
Our key priorities will include:
- Cover a mix of both technical and ‘soft’ topics.
- Distinguish between events to disseminate views on an existing topic (technical or soft) and those where there is a need for thought leadership
- Engage with the membership to shape the agenda, deliver thought leadership and gather feedback.
- Engage with other SIGs, e.g. cyber and innovation, where there are subjects of common interests with insurance, in order to ensure that we approach topics in a way that is collaborative, efficient and effective.
