Risk Management

l What is the level of connectivity between the product
     development area and other areas such as valuation,
     investment department, corporate, etc.? How does the
     company price its products and how does it know that it
     is compensated to the level of risks being taken?

l Describe your ALM and what are you doing to optimize
     your returns?

l Describe the major options offered in your liabilities and
     how are those mitigated or accounted for in the company's
     economic capital?

The COSO report

n In 2001 the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO)
     of the Treadway Commission, led by Pricewaterhouse
     Coopers, initiated a study to develop practices for managing
     risk across an organization.

By identifying the key issues and proposing guidelines and
applications, COSO formalized a reporting structure to support
Enterprise Risk Management.

n The COSO methodology inspires confidence by offering a
     definite framework for ERM. This approach produces a
     dynamic audit of the risks identified.
