Businesses that consider risk management little more than a box-ticking exercise do so at their peril, Lloyd's head of risk management said yesterday.
Steve Manning stressed the importance of risk management telling businesses: “Do not put risk management in the compliance silo.”
Speaking at Lloyd's risk and reward conference, Manning unveiled the results of a Lloyd's risk management survey.
The survey showed that 78% of Lloyd's managing agents felt businesses benefit from good risk management, but half of those still made it the responsibility of the compliance officer.
“We are still a market that tends to be driven by compliance,” said Manning.
“If you see risk management as being a tick box exercise, you will not derive the true business benefit that risk management can offer.”
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
