Section 82.3 of Regulation 203 generally requires a Canadian insurer to conduct its own risk and solvency assessment (ORSA) on a regular basis and submit an ORSA summary report to the Superintendent by December 1 of each year. An ORSA must be completed and an ORSA summary report must be prepared in accordance with the NAIC ORSA Guidance Manual. A Canadian insurer may comply with section 82.3 by providing the Superintendent with the most recent and substantially similar ORSA summary report or the reports of the national insurer or any other member of the insurer`s holding company system, the section 16 system or the section 17 system of the principal insurance supervisory authority of another state or a supervisory authority or supervisory authority of a foreign country. provided that the information contained in the report is comparable to the information described in the ORSA Guidance Manual. According to the ORSA Guidance Manual and the Risk Management and Own Risk and Solvency Assessment Model Act (#505), the ORSA has two main objectives: 1) To promote an effective level of ERM among all insurers, whereby each insurer identifies, assesses, monitors, prioritizes and reports on its material and relevant risk identified by the insurer, using appropriate techniques, support risk and capital decisions; and 2) provide a group-level risk and capital perspective to complement the vision of the existing legal entity. NAIC U.S. ORSA In response to the financial crisis, U.S. insurance regulators began to change their regulatory framework. In 2008, the NAIC launched the SMI – an essential self-audit to update the U.S. insurance solvency framework.
SMI focused on key topics such as capital requirements, governance and risk management, group supervision, statutory and financial reporting and reinsurance. As part of the MPI, the NAIC reassessed risk-based capital (RBC) in the U.S. and determined that RBC will continue to provide the solvency safety net function for insurers to: (1) ensure regulatory action; and (2) grant legal authority to intervene without significant litigation. 4.

When the NAIC Executive Committee and Plenary adopted Model #505 in September. As of January 12, 2012, each jurisdiction was expected to implement risk management and ORSA requirements in state law by 2015. A majority of states have officially adopted model #505, which was added as an NAIC accreditation standard in 2017. The NAIC estimates that about 300 reports will be submitted each year once all states adopt model #505, including about 200 at the group level and 100 at the individual level. Own Risk and Solvency Assessment: Origins and Implications for Enterprise Risk Management Journal of Insurance Regulation (2015), Vol. 34, No. 9 The Department does not require a corporate risk report to follow a particular format. However, a supreme holding company or insurer must address in its report all the matters listed in paragraph 82.2(b) of Regulation 203. To facilitate the Department`s review, a holding company or insurer is advised to attach a table of contents that provides an overview of the documents submitted. Where appropriate, comments should be provided to indicate where each element of paragraph 82.2(b) is addressed in the submission. Regulation 203 (11 NYCRR 82) sets out the objectives of the ERM function and the information that must be discussed in an enterprise risk report.

It is time for the Treasury to recognize that the reissue of the 20-year Treasury may have been a failed experiment and should reconsider the introduction of a 50-year Treasury. In the wake of the financial crisis, it became clear that U.S. state insurance regulators needed to be able to assess the financial position of the holding company and its impact on an insurer within the portfolio system. In November 2011, the NAIC voted as part of the NAIC`s Solvency Modernization Initiative (IMS) to introduce an important addition to U.S. insurance regulation: the U.S. Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA). An ORSA will require insurance companies to provide their own assessment of their current and future risks through an internal risk self-assessment process, and will allow regulators to have a better view of an insurer`s ability to withstand financial stress. Issue: United States The Group`s supervisory framework was tested during the 2008 global financial crisis, when American International Group (AIG) faced financial uncertainty. London-based AIG Financial Products, a non-insurance component of AIG`s holding system, has suffered huge losses due to risky investments. The contagion effects experienced by U.S.
insurers during the near collapse of AIG`s holding system have prompted U.S. insurance regulators to reassess their group oversight framework and pay more attention to the risks posed by activities outside these companies, as well as reputational and contagion issues that may exist. Under sections 1503(b), 1604(b) and 1717(b) of the Insurance Act, a supreme holding company that directly or indirectly controls an insurer and a national insurer with subsidiaries (including a national company subject to section 43 of the Insurance Act) must perform a formal enterprise risk management (“ERG”) function and file an enterprise risk report by April 30 of each year. year.
