Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze how enterprise risk management (ERM), the system of governance and the Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA) have been boosted with the entry of Solvency II. Design/methodology/approach For this analysis, the authors have undertaken a survey of chief risk officers (CROs) working in Spanish insurance companies. Findings The results show that Solvency II has definitely promoted ERM in the European insurance industry and improved the system of governance of the insurance companies, and that the perceived value of the ORSA for the companies is higher than the cost. It is clear that the quality of ERM implemented by companies is higher in those that face more complex risks and with greater interdependencies – that is, larger companies, foreign insurers and insurers with several lines of business – but is unaffected by the legal form of the entity (mutual/corporation). Originality/value This study conducts primary research with surveys of CROs and develops a measure of the quality of ERM implemented by insurance companies.

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) has become a necessity in the financial sector to fulfil stakeholder expectations. Studies confirm that ERM impacts positively on the performance of firms. The main objective of the study was to assess ERM maturity levels of the insurance industry in Botswana. This was achieved through first designing a framework to measure enterprise risk management maturity levels. The ERMMF incorporated elements from COSO’s ERM framework and the AON risk maturity model obtained through literature review. Data were sourced from four strata; 9 long term insurance companies (15 respondents), 11 short-term insurance companies (19 respondents), 3 reinsurers (5 respondents), and 44 brokerages (75 respondents). While all organisations in the population were used, a sample of 114 out of possible 134 respondents was used. Data were analysed using SPSS version 16. The findings revealed that the insurance industry in Botswana had somewhat implemented ERM. It is therefore recommended that the insurance industry in Botswana should take ERM as a continuous process for growth in ERM maturity levels as such an improvement is highly likely to enhance their performance.
