This study explores the relationship of directors' liability insurance and operational risks, and discusses whether the coverage of directors' liability insurance will also affect the operating risk, and then further analyze the moderating effect of the director's gender, education and financial background characteristics. The empirical results show that the directors' liability insurance is positively correlated with the operating risks, but the coverage of the directors' liability insurance is negatively correlated with the operating risks. The results of board characteristics show that when the directors' liability insurances have insured, female directors will give up the inherent risk aversion characteristics and increase the company's operating risks, but high the director's education degree can reduce operating risks, and the financial background has no significant impact on operating risks.
