NOTE

SELF INSURANCE

This is an arrangement by which a big industrial company with enough fund

decides to set aside some funds to meet future losses instead of

transferring the risk to any insurance companies.

 

Advantages of self-insurance

1. It has lower premium.
2. It increases profit base of the organization.
3. There is absence of claim disputes.
4. The company enjoys control over its employed insurance personnel.
5. There is direct incentive for loss reduction and control.

 

Disadvantages of self-insurance

1. The fund created can be wiped out in the event of a catastrophe
2. Statistical analysis is difficult since companies control the fund.
3. There is absence of technical advice and risk prevention
4. Funds to be used for further investment are tied down
5. There is absence of risk transfer function
6. The fund does not qualify for corporation tax
7. The shareholders may not be pleased with the arrangement as they feel

be set aside for the fund.
