MaGo – risk management system

MaGo – risk management system- Responsibility for the management tasks for the RMS is assigned to the entire management both at the individual company and at the group level. In addition to strategic decisions and stipulations on the organizational design of risk management, this includes in particular the establishment of a common risk culture, which ensures a uniform understanding and thus effective risk management.

The risk management system must include regulations on the following points, among others:

  • Management responsibility
  • Business and Risk Strategy
  • Determination of the overall solvency requirement
  • Stress tests

With Circular 2/2017 (VA), BaFin published the minimum requirements for the business organization of insurance companies (MaGo). The most important regulations for the risk management system can be found in this information blog.

MaGo – risk management system – role of management in the risk management system

The entire management is responsible for ensuring that the risk management system is designed appropriately and effectively.
The responsibility of the entire management does not release the supervisory board from the obligation to monitor whether the entire management has set up an appropriate and effective risk management system.

MaGo – risk management system – risk profile of the company

Irrespective of the responsibility of the entire senior management, the risk profile of the company may require that risk management be assigned to a senior manager.
The responsibility of the entire management for the risk management system, which cannot be delegated to one or more managers, relates to management tasks. The managerial tasks include, among other things, the strategic decisions and the definitions of the organizational framework of risk management, and thus in particular the receipt and handling of significant risks.
The management tasks also include the development of a common risk culture (“common risk language”), which ensures consistent and effective risk management in all areas of the company. This also includes developing a risk strategy, reviewing it at least once a year and adjusting it if necessary. The risk strategy, the review and any changes must be documented. The risk strategy represents the risks resulting from the business strategy. It must be designed in such a way that the operational control of the risks can be linked to it.
The entire management or the responsible manager must take appropriate account of the information from the risk management system when making their own decisions. This also requires an appropriate involvement of the URCF as the central body for operational risk management. The involvement of the URCF does not release the entire management or the responsible manager from their own decision-making responsibility.
