Effective risk management is the cornerstone of capital structure. A well-designed insurance and risk management program allows a company to use its financial and human capital to pursue its vision, unhindered by the need to maintain high reserves to cover potential losses.
Insurance, in law and economics, is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of catastrophic financial loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a potential loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for a premium and duty of care.
Actuarial Management usually relates to statistical calculation of life expectancy for insurance purposes.
