Instructions

LTD Acceptance is a private property and auto insurance carrier that specializes in sports cars and motorcycles. This organization is owned by LTD Capital, a large equity group with over 15 holdings. LTD Acceptance is the parent company’s single largest holding as it drives 70% of total revenue. Due to the inherent risk involved in that segment of the market, many of LTD Acceptance’s competitors do not offer policies for sports cars or motorcycles. This market segment is underserved which is why the organization has 20,000 active policies for a sports car or a motorcycle.

LTD is headquartered in Houston, TX. LTD does not sell insurance directly to the public. Instead, it uses third-party agents to sell its policies. LTD handles all customer service needs including claims intake, policy services, and general questions. The company operates in four states: California, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. Currently, LTD does not have an active system in place to ensure that its agents are in fact using LTD guidelines to screen potential policyholders. However, no evidence of negligence has emerged so far as the organization has yet to have a year in which it was not profitable. LTD has also had the good fortune of not suffering losses because of natural disasters or catastrophic events.

Organizations in every sector experience breakdowns or failures that compromise the efficiency and efficacy of their operations. This concept is defined as an operational failure. Operational failures have a direct and adverse impact on profitability. As such, the shareholders want assurance that the risk management team is actively working on mitigating the occurrence of these failures. As the newly hired senior risk analyst, you are responsible for outlining a plan to do just that.
For this deliverable, provide a report to your supervisor which provides a framework for managing operational risk exposures. Your report should include the following:

  • Explain why the operational losses cannot be broadly managed. Why do they have to be categorized?
  • For each operational risk exposure listed below, provide at least two examples of potential losses from the exposure and reasons why you need to manage it.
    • Internal fraud
    • External fraud
    • Employment practices and workplace safety
    • Clients, products, and business practices
    • Damage to physical assets
    • Business disruption and system failures

Your conclusion should align the effective management of operational risk exposures with organizational effectiveness.

The format for your report should be in the business, professional style. APA.

Instructors comments on what to change:

You are on the right track. I’m going to re-open this for an opportunity to further discuss why operational losses need to be categorized and so that I can possibly score this at a Mastery Level.

A brief explanation is provided that details why operational losses cannot be broadly managed. A thorough explanation is provided that details why operational losses cannot be broadly managed. A thorough explanation with specific examples is provided that details why operational losses cannot be broadly managed.

Score 4: Well done. This statement is applicable to what the rubric is asking for to score at a Mastery Level “they affect the company in different ways and come in different forms” Adding to this, financial organizations can measure, evaluate, control and manage operational risk but it can not be managed broadly because of unknown factors such as failed internal processes, people, systems or external events.

Score 2: To score at a mastery level, the rubric is asking for a thorough explanation that is supported with examples. As we have learned, operational risk should be categorized so as to better determine the level of risk tolerance. In essence-before a problem can be solved, you must first determine the root cause.

Less than two examples of potential losses are provided for any category OR explanation of examples were not provided or are inaccurate. At least two examples from each category of potential loss are provided, including explanations of why there is a need to manage the losses. More than two examples of potential losses from each category are provided AND an explanation of why there is a need to manage each is provided. More than two examples of potential losses from each category are provided AND a thorough explanation of why there is a need to manage each is provided.

Score 1: More than one example from each category is required to score at a Competence, Proficiency or Mastery Level to satisfy this section of the rubric.

No conclusion OR conclusion does not accurately show how effective management of operational risk exposures aligns with organizational effectiveness. Conclusion explains, but without examples, how effective management of operational risk exposures aligns with organizational effectiveness.

Score 4: This section of the rubric has been satisfied at a Mastery Level. Reminder, a second set of eyes or use of Grammarly will help you to catch the following types of errors: higher high-end Information . Should read, hire high-end information xxx
