An initiative to provide essential risk data for insurers

In a global survey by SAS, over a third of organisations reported operational losses of more than US$20 million per annum. ORIC is designed to help reduce such losses in the insurance industry, which means massive potential savings for firms.


Since the start of 2005, Insurers have been required to include operational risk, by the FSA, in their individual capital assessment. The introduction of developments such as Solvency II also means that a more sophisticated treatment of operational risk is required as part of the proposed capital requirements for insurers. This means that insurers now need access to high quality loss event data to enhance their risk modelling as well as being able to evaluate their operational risks against their peers.


The ABI, in partnership with SAS have launched the Operational Risk Insurance Consortium (ORIC), a high-quality database cataloguing Operational Risk loss events. Using SAS' web report studio gives ORIC industry-leading functionality in order to enhance both quantitative and qualitative understanding of operational risk.

Key Issues

 

  • The absence of quality loss data is a key obstacle to successful operational risk management.

  • ORIC provides best practice and a quality-controlled database to support risk measurement activities and improve decision-making with the potential to reduce losses and drive down costs while meeting regulatory requirements.

"Lack of quality loss data is recognised as a key obstacle to succesful operational risk management - ORIC will provide a quality controlled database to facilitate risk measurement and descision making. ABI's descision to partner with SAS is a reflection of SAS' thought-leadership in enterpise-wide risk management and its reputation for delivering high quality solutions".
