Captive Insurance Governance
PwC helps clients assess and improve their captive governance by identifying and formalizing the process and controls across coverages and major insurance functions.
Corporate entities often retain a significant amount of risk, through a captive or self-insurance/deductibles, that is generally serviced by a small internal risk management team. While the benefits of retaining this risk can be significant, optimizing risk insights is increasingly more challenging in today’s complex and dynamic landscape.
The enterprise risk management framework may not be operating optimally due to inefficiencies from a legacy process which could lead to several issues impacting key business decisions:
- Manual data processes can prevent or delay obtaining information necessary for strategic planning and communicating with the commercial marketplace.
- Companies may also recognize compounding unfavorable financial results and/or financial volatility.
- Risk transfer and retention strategies may not be aligned with risk appetite.
- Inability to effectively communicate risk management strategies and opportunities to leadership.
