Protect your business
Threats to your business are complex and unpredictable.
Between cyber breaches, catastrophic weather events, volatile supply chains and an abundance of other threats, businesses need help taking a holistic approach to operational risk management. When threats turn into crises, companies must balance competing priorities including stabilizing operations and recovering losses.
BDO’s Insurance Risk & Recovery practice leverages deep functional and industry knowledge to strategically manage risk and recover from losses. We work with organizations to help identify and mitigate risk — and recover faster when incidents occur. We help you navigate a volatile insurance market, optimize your use of insurance as a risk-transfer tool, and mitigate your operational, digital, enterprise and third-party risk. And when crisis strikes, we help you pursue claims recovery to recoup costs.
Our advisory practice focuses on delivering comprehensive insurance risk & recovery services tailored to meet your specific needs. Taking an integrated view of risk and insurance across business functions, we understand the levers you can pull — from business resilience strategies to insurance vehicles — to turn crisis into opportunity.

Insurance Risk & Recovery FAQs
Insurance Risk Management involves managing the volatility of commercial insurance premiums and achieving a cost-efficient insurance strategy. It is vital for effective risk management; especially as rising insurance costs reflect increasing risks. This service focuses on addressing the total cost of risk by deploying resilience and insurance strategies in tandem.
BDO also uses insurance risk optimization tools to streamline coverage and reallocate funds back into the business, ensuring proper coverage. Additionally, we assess vendors and conduct third-party risk transfer to offset certain exposures, rectify issues such as late reporting, improper reserving, and failure to identify problem claims early in the process.
BDO helps by conducting assessments and designing a holistic insurance program to ensure risk blind spots are covered. Analytics are used to consider historical industry and company-specific precedents when establishing risk tolerance and insurance needs.
A captive is an insurance subsidiary of a non-insurance parent and exists to serve the risk management needs of the parent and/or to support the core business goals of the parent, rather than for its own profitability.
Another way to see a captive is as a risk financing vehicle for retaining corporate insurance risks. Nearly any risk that is self-insured, carries a large deductible/retention, is commercially unavailable, or cost prohibitive can be a risk insured by a captive.
