Incorporating Risk Considerations into the
Capital Budgeting Process
2 p.m. – 3 p.m.
RIF004
Dan McGarvey – US Power and Utility Practice Leader
[email protected]
Capital budgeting is the art of allocating scarce capital
in order to generate the best returns as defined by
your organization’s strategy and mission. Every
enterprise unit seeks capital investment for growth
with only so much cash to go around. Investments in
risk management are often hobbled in this process.
Their returns may be limited, difficult to quantify, or
achieved only over a long period of time. In addition,
often left out of the equation are the risks associated
with the other investment options. In fact, what may
appear to be a no-brainer investment could turn into
a disaster without appropriate consideration for its
risks. Elevate your role in the process by incorporating
risk elements into the capital budgeting plan.

The retail industry is bombarded with changing and
complex risks requiring real-time decisions. You
perpetually manage data breaches, margins, supply
chain, workforce, fraud, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA), food safety, and claimsfrequency issues. Atop this is the potential for overnight
social media backlash striking at your company’s brand
and valuation. As a part of the retail industry, make sure
you are using industry best practices to incorporate
strategies that identify, mitigate, and manage these
risks to reduce your company’s total cost of risk, protect
its brand, and increase employee productivity.

David Batchelor – President, International Division
[email protected]
Jack Flug – Senior Advisory Specialist, FINPRO
jack.fl[email protected]
Recent events have brought certain risks to our
attention, alternative capital, cyber risks, big data,
TRIA, and Ebola. This panel of senior industry
executives will discuss what they believe are the
real game changers. Gather greater insight into
the insurance marketplace and get answers to your
questions. Discover the priorities senior executives
place on various risk management and insurance
issues, both domestically and internationally.
Employment practices liability insurance (EPLI) claims
continue to increase in number. Associated losses
— for defense, settlements, and verdicts — can be
exorbitant and potentially damaging to your company’s
reputation and bottom line. You implement risk
mitigation controls to prevent claims from occurring,
but what happens after the claim is made and EPLI
is implicated? Your involvement in the post-claim
process and understanding of the EPLI policy’s
terms and conditions can be crucial in mitigating
the overall loss. Better define your role in mitigating
EPLI losses and learn strategies that can help you
reach favorable claim resolution with your insurer.

Practices and Defensibility

Distracted driving has now become part of our national

those with extensive fleets. Discover how you can
protect your organization — from preventing lawsuits
to forming a post-claim defense. Gain a greater
appreciation of the significance of distracted driving
for your organization and be able to implement or
enhance your risk management strategies to address it.

The Strategy Is Set: What Now?
2 p.m. – 3 p.m.
SRM012
Lisa Kremer – Enterprise Risk Management
Practice Leader, Marsh Risk Consulting
[email protected]
The planning group, usually made up of an executive
committee — with or without input from the board of
directors or business unit leaders — typically establishes
an organization’s objectives and goals over a specific
planning period. At times, risk professionals may not be
included as significant players in this planning flow. You
can, however, become an integral part of the strategyexecution process. Is it better to be late to the process
than not involved at all? This session is hosted by RIMS
Strategic Risk Management Development Council.

MARSH SESSIONS AT RIMS
Every health care chief risk officer expresses concern
over three issues: mergers and acquisitions (M&As),
litigation, and acquiring physician practices. First,
consider the $52.9 billion in health care M&A in the last
quarter of 2013. This should have you asking: What does
this mean for the health care clinically integrated system
and how is M&A exposure rolled into my organization?
Then, determine if recent class action suits jeopardize
your organization’s integrity and when you should
notify senior management about litigation. Finally,
see whether relationships from physician practices
acquisitions provide better access to care and increased
revenue but also more regulatory exposures. Address
these issues to help your organization rest easy.
Public Entities Industry Session:
Risk Management Issues and Strategies
9 a.m. – 11 a.m.
IND009
Regulatory and Tax Impact on Global Programs:
How to Avoid Unbudgeted Costs
10:15 a.m. – 11:15 a.m.
GRM010
Jean Demchak – Global Education and
Public Entity Leader
[email protected]
Praveen Sharma – Global Leader,
Insurance Regulatory and Tax Consulting Practice
[email protected]
Join members of the Public Risk Management
Association (PRIMA) in a discussion of the biggest
risk management issues that public entities face.
Examine best practices and peer-determined topics,
including: cyber risk; workers’ compensation; working
with your police force; educating elected officials on
the importance of risk management; reputational
risk; and incorporating community outreach.
When structuring global programs, you need to
understand the regulatory and tax parameters within
which insureds and insurers operate. This is not always
easy with often ambiguous insurance regulations
open to interpretation. In addition, tax authorities are
taking proactive measures to generate tax revenues,
auditing global programs, and denying income tax
relief on premium expense and tax claim payments.
Avoid unbudgeted costs by adopting a disciplined
approach to structuring global programs. See what
you can do to ensure a greater degree of compliance.

2 p.m. – 3 p.m.

Annette L. Sanchez – Claim Consulting Practice
Zone Leader, Marsh Risk Consulting
[email protected]
Plot your way on a roadmap of the process, road
bumps, and outcomes of changing third party
administrators (TPAs). Claims-provider consolidation
and convergence makes fundamental the need
to ensure value from TPA risk partners. Explore
important elements of a request for proposal (RFP),
system requirements, TPA use of third parties, fee
transparency, and a specimen scorecard for evaluating
performance. And learn how to ensure seasoned
claims professionals are assigned to your program.
This session is hosted by RIMS Central Ohio Chapter.
How wonderful would it be to self-administer workers’
compensation and liability claims? You could focus
on reducing costs and improving your program. True,
self-administration can be great, but the road there
is not always smooth. Using the recent transition to
self-administration at Publix as a case study, work
through the challenges, including technology,
staffing, regulations, the litigation environment,
and carrier relationships. Review a multidisciplinary
approach, involving risk management, IT strategy,
corporate compliance, and human resources as
well as a consultant. See how careful planning,
strong communication, and flexibility smooth the
road bumps of the self-administration transition.
Contingent BI Coverage: Global Supply Chain
Failure and Disaster Protection?
2 p.m. – 3 p.m.
CLM007
CLM008
Kevin McCarthy – Financial Advisory Services Global
Practice Leader, Marsh Risk Consulting
[email protected]
With the largest global supply chain interruptions
and contingent business interruption (CBI) losses in
history occurring over the last few years, underwriters
have increased their focus on this often overlooked
coverage. The resulting new information demands
from underwriters forces companies to communicate
their risks with greater clarity in order to secure
the proper coverage. Explore these demands and
some of the unique problems and coverage gaps
resulting from recent catastrophes and global
supply chain failures. Engage in a discussion about
identifying true unmitigated CBI exposures and
the coverage required in today’s complex and
multitiered global supply chain environment.
