Survey by Towers Watson

Last month, Towers Watson surveyed approximately 250 risk and finance professionals to learn more about some of the major challenges and topics they face on a day-to-day basis. The survey provides a snapshot of how risk and finance managers are managing diverse issues such as retained claims, predictive modeling and enterprise risk management.

• As companies retain more and more of their risk exposures, risk and finance managers are looking for help from their risk management consultants and insurance brokers.

• Most risk managers tolerate or are resigned to contingent commissions paid by insurers to insurance brokers. Opposition to the sometimes controversial commissions comes mostly from larger companies.

• Despite its demonstrated ability to reduce the cost of risk, ERM is generally still not getting management support.
