What are BI Values?
A projection of what the business
will do during a 12-month period
What are BI Values? Annualized estimates of net profit and “continuing” (fixed) expenses
May or may not include “ordinary payroll” (direct labor expense)
Computed for each insured location where earnings are produced
Policy requirement of most insurance markets
How are BI Values Used?
To determine annual premium To allocate premium to business units To determine Probable Maximum Loss (PML) and Maximum Foreseeable Loss (MFL) yardsticks
To determine location limits of liability
To determine Average Daily Value (ADV) deductibles
BI Value Concernsof the underwriter
Location exposures and values– Are high MFL locations properly identified? EQ and windstorm exposures
– Are significant interdependencies recognized in the underwriting process?
– Are significant CBI exposures disclosed?
– Are adequate loss control measures in place to reduce loss exposures?
BI Value Concernsof the risk manager
Conceptual framework and accuracy– Do business units understand the purpose and importance of accurate BI value reporting?
Premium allocation– Are reported values calculated consistently among business units and locations?
Process efficiency– Is the right amount of data reported?– Is the collection process rational and efficient?
BI Value Concernsshared by risk managers and underwriters
Accuracy– Are reported values based on reality?– Are values computed in a manner consistent with industry standards across all insurance markets?
– Are reported values suitable for calculating PML’s and MFL’s, and for allocating insurance capacity?
– Are reported values a reasonable basis for calculating premiums and determining location limits and deductibles?
