The effect of environmental accounting on financial risk management of firms via insurance
by I.E. Nikolaou, A.N. Yannacopoulos
International Journal of Monetary Economics and Finance (IJMEF), Vol. 2, No. 1, 2009

Abstract: Nowadays, firms disclose environmental information through environmental reports. These disclosures are necessary for insurance companies to face financial losses related to environmental incidents, in an attempt to achieve fair pricing for corporate insurance contracts, to evade any future financial risks and, eventually, to achieve efficient risk management. It is the aim of this paper to investigate, with the use of a probabilistic model, how these disclosures assist insurance companies to determine fairly insurance premia and as a consequence allow for the more efficient risk management of the firm.
