Quick comparison to APRA regime►Same :

What has typically happened so far?►Gap analysis vs Solvency II requirements :
….‘what do we do now vs what do we know we will need to do?’
►‘Implementation plans’ completed
►Workgroups assembled within insurance companies
►Work commenced on closing the gaps…
....so most companies know what needs to be done and how their companies may change operationally as a result of Solvency II

ORSA
The themes overlap in many areas……..
7 – 10 November 2010 � Sheraton Mirage, Gold Coast
17th
Big themes explored – ORSA and Risk Management
The ORSA can be defined as :the entirety of the processes and procedures employed to identify, assess, monitor, manage, and report the short and long term risks a (re) insurance undertaking faces or may face and to determine the own funds necessary to ensure that the undertaking’s overall solvency needs are met at all times.
...ORSA is more detailed than the internal model and SCR…..

Risks not considered by standard formula
Aspects varying between business and regulatory (SCR) models
Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA)
Liquidity risk
Reputational risk
Strategic risk
Time horizon
Confidence level
Managementactions
Stress and scenario tests
RisksLiquidity, Reputational and Strategic risk not
included in standard formula.
Time horizonThe time horizon may differ from regulatory
capital by internal model
Confidence levelA different confidence level to the SCR model
may be used,
Management actionsactions that could influence the risk profile
Stress and scenario testsIn business planning for internal purposes
Firms using models will be required to integrate these into the ORSA

How are insurance companies changing?►Response cuts across many functions
►Burden of proof on risk management and risk governance
►Formalising a number of risk and governance processes
►Revisiting, formalising, embedding, risk appetites and risk tolerances
►Formalising a process for understanding own capital
►Brand new focus on non-modelled risks
►Reports drafted by large groups for populating by Legal Entities worldwide
►Role of the actuarial function more prescriptive
►Processes for shared agreements formalised as part of Solvency II

Big themes explored – Economic modelling enhancements
► CP 56 sets out 6 Model tests:- Use Test- Statistical Quality Test- Calibration Standards- Profit and Loss Attribution- Validation Standards- Documentation (including external models and data)
► Lots of detail

► Internal audit functions involved in drafting and implementing validation policy
► Focus on speed of updating models and link to ORSA and Use Test
►Challenging key judgemental assumptions
►Engaging with external model providers
….inextricably linked to other initiatives and major themes

New regulatory and financial disclosures –three primary outputs
► A Solvency and Financial Condition Report (‘SFCR’)► A watered-down version of APRA FCR? ► Actuary does not have to produce the whole SFCR
► A Report to Supervisor (‘RTS’) ► Business and risk disclosures including forward looking information ► More comprehensive than APRA regime?► Greater focus on forward looking and commercially sensitive information
► New regulatory forms based on SII valuation principles
Processes will need to be developed / amended to deal with new requirements

How are insurance companies changing?
► Response typically led by the finance and risk functions, but other inputs required
► Gap analysis - S2 requirements vs what is currently provided to regulator
► IFRS conversion and SII implementation considered in tandem
► Reserving approach ‘changed’
► SII reporting classes will likely differ to current
► Processes redesigned to capture data for new regulatory forms
► Processes to produce, review and approve narrative reports and disclosures
► Disclosure policy to be developed
