For a symposium in
such an old city,
a little bit of history
appears necessary
Where do KSMs come from…?

1990 2010
Before 1990
• All kinds of different Financial Statements
• Financing concepts : Unclear
• Difficulty to share information
• Employers doing business in many Canadian jurisdictions
1991 – The Revolution
• A new generation of WCB executives with a financial background
• Request for proposal in 1991 and report in 1992
• Goal: To develop a set of standards to report financial and statistical data
1992 to 1998 – The Gestation
• Consultant’s proposition for statistics and ratios : 34 indicators in 6 categories
• Categories : New Claims (6), Recurrent Claims (2), Active Claims (4), Status Change (6), Duration/Severity (5), Financial Statistics (11) • Animated discussions between CFOs and their technicians for a few years
1999 to 2004 – The Agitation
• January 1999 : First publication with 14 KSMs
• Creation of a dedicated Working Group – one member per jurisdiction
• Development of KSMs and IRs : we go from 14 to 34 measures
• 2003 : Introducing the AWCBC website as a mean for KSM and preface publication
2005 to 2010 – The Consolidation
• A single new KSM
• Refinement and cleaning up of definitions
• Education : Introducing « KSM 101 »
• Modernization of the KSM database management
Perspectives
Remarkable and unique accomplishment
Challenges :
–

–
–
Improving database management Make data extraction more user‐friendly
Educating the users
Maintain and adapt the database to evolving needs, keep it healthy (avoid anorexia and obesity), keep focusing on fundamentals
Pitfalls : Scattering, Anecdotic Key Statistical Measures 101

Impact : • Number/Frequency of Claims
• Average Duration of Claims
• Ratios like Cost per Claims
Key Statistical Measures (KSM)
• 40 KSMs published annually
• Presented in order of publication
• Certain measures should be analysed in parallel with other measures to be significant

Key Statistical Measures (KSM)
• Group 1 : Financial Data
• Group 2 : Claim Data
• Group 3 : Self‐Insured Employers
Group 1 – Financial Data
• Expressed in dollars
• Come from Financial Statement
• Definitions comply with accounting standards
Category
Source
1 : Basic Accounting Data
• Statement of Operations
• Balance Sheet
2 : Other Accounting and Financial Data
• Notes to the Financial Statement
• Annual Report
3 : Current Year Financial Data
• Not always in Annual Reports
• Many jurisdictions include them
Group 2 – Claim Data
• Characteristics of the claims
• Definitions are peculiar to AWCBC
Category
Characteristics
4 : Injury Frequency
Measure frequency of claims and scope of coverage
5 : Severity
Measure the severity of claims
6 : Operational Measures
Measure certain administrative delays
Group 3 – Self‐Insured Employers
• A variety of measures for self‐insured employers
• All are a parallel of another measure for assessable employers
Category
7 : Self‐Insured Employers
Characteristics
• Answer a specific need of information
• Many are not available Indicator Ratios (IR)
• 10 Indicator Ratios
A
B
• Connects 2 or more KSMs
• Helps to interpret the data
• Provides an additional perspective and makes data more comparable

KSM and IR Definitions
• Based on nationally accepted definitions • May be different than statistics published in Annual Reports
• Intent of Measure / Definition / Calculation
Footnotes
• Specific situations
• Useful to interpret data correctly
• Additional/complementary information
• Many footnotes indicate that the basis of comparison may be different
Breakdown of the Provisional Average Assessment Rate
• Importance of Average Rate
• Breakdown of Average Rate :
–Outlines the most important financial needs
–Allows for a fair comparison of the rate setting process in each jurisdiction
