Insurance – The Basic Idea: Risk Sharing

Source: The ILS Introduction to General Insurance Level 1 Licensing Program

Insurance is all about risk sharing. It’s not a new idea having been around for thousands of years.

Risk sharing is a way of helping to ensure that a loss does not spell financial ruin for a person or business. It involves coming up with ways to accomplish that. Before the days of insurance companies, people came up with ideas for risk sharing on their own.

Examples:

i) Back in the days of the caveman, when a hunter was killed in the hunt, his widow and family were supported by the other hunters.

ii) The Yangtze River in China is a treacherous waterway and early traders traveling the river had their work cut out for them. Rather than take their entire trading goods over the many rapids on their own, they would meet at a sheltered area of the river and place a portion of their cargo in each of the many boats gathered there. This way, if one boat failed to negotiate the rapids safely, every boat owner still had some of their goods in the other boats. No one faced the prospect of losing everything and having to start their business over again. That’s what insurance does – it’s all about risk sharing

RIBO Continuing Education Summary

Reminder, Renewal time is quickly approaching.

The deadline for completion of the Ontario General continuing education requirements is September 30, 2015 and there are no extensions for individuals to comply. Noncompliance of the continuing education requirements will result in the suspension of the license and suspended individuals may not conduct any business with members of the public until the license is reinstated.

If you are “Inactive” or on leave of absences (maternity, sabbatical), you are still required to comply with the continuing education requirements to maintain registration eligibility.
If you have not completed your continuing education requirements when completing your renewal form, you must indicate accordingly and attach a brief explanation to RIBO. By answering that you have completed the requirements when in fact you haven’t, you have knowingly falsified your renewal application. This is an act of misconduct and RIBO will refer your file to the Complaints and Discipline or Qualification and Registration Committee for review and disciplinary action.
