ANU Corporate Travel Insurance Claims 2022

Like many large organizations, the Australian National University (ANU) has extensive risk control activities in place focusing on risk avoidance, loss prevention or reduction, and so-called “risk control transfer” (whereby the responsibility of the risk may be transferred). These activities are designed to mitigate the financial impact that a risk can have on the organization. Anticipating, and reducing the potential impact of, risks are critical activities of risk managers and are not described further in this report. Within this broad suite of risk control activities, universities like ANU purchase corporate travel insurance policies to cover employees and students traveling on official university business for a wide variety of accidents and incidents while away from the campus or primary workplace. This broad coverage includes medical care and evacuation, loss of personal property, extraction for political and weather related reasons, and more. This dataset provides insured losses under ANU's corporate travel policy. These data were accessed on 29 July 2022. Compared to other coverages, the data history is long and stable. This coverage began on 1 November 2006. A more detailed description of the data and ANU's risk management context is available at Frees and Butt (2022), "ANU insurable risks," Australian National University Open Research Library, https://doi.org/10.25911/0SE7-N746.
