Abstract
The author traces the history and philosophy behind the concept of risk transfer and concentrates on the underlying theory of insurance. He argues that the complexity of the modern business world has meant that the simplicity of the concept has been lost. To this has been added the additional burden of regulation and a greater concentration on risk management. He suggests that the concept of enterprise risk management is the one which cuts this Gordian Knot and describes its benefits in adding value to the enterprise.
