Ernst & Young’s 2008 Insurance Risk Leadership SurveyIn an environment of volatility and demand for greater transparency and stronger financial performance, risk management has become a critical priority and a basis for competitive differentiation. Ernst & Young’s 2008 Insurance Risk Leadership Survey, our third such survey in five years, shows that insurance companies are making progress — some of it remarkable — in risk management. The survey also points to gaps and impediments that companies still face. Highlights of the survey are also available for download. The Ernst & Young 2008 Catastrophe Exposure Data Quality SurveyAmong the numerous lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina and other recent catastrophes, the quality of exposure data is now recognized as a significant factor in developing effective insurance risk mitigation programs. We hope the results of this survey—The Ernst & Young 2008 Catastrophe Exposure Data Quality Survey(pdf, 1.5M) —will help you address your data collection and management needs.
