Bank of England: Solvency II - reporting and public disclosure - options provided to supervisory authorities

10 August 2015

This consultation paper seeks feedback on a draft supervisory statement that sets out the PRA’s expectations of firms where it has an option to specify a different approach to that published in the ITS for the Solvency II reporting templates and the Solvency II public disclosure templates.

The ITS in specific circumstances, give supervisory authorities options to specify different approaches to the default set out in the standards, or requires supervisory authorities to issue instructions.

The draft supervisory statement sets out the PRA’s expectation of how firms are to comply with the standards when options are provided to supervisory authorities in the following areas:

• Solvency II reporting currency.
• Exchange rates.
• Accident or underwriting year reporting.
• Claim size brackets for loss distribution risk profile.
• Sum insured size brackets for non-life distribution of underwriting risks by sum insured.
• Lines of business to be reported for non-life distribution of underwriting risks by sum insured.
• Reporting of annuities stemming from non-life obligations by currency.
• Development of the distribution of reported but not settled (RBNS) claims - reporting number of claims.
• Reporting external credit ratings.
• Group reporting where the PRA is the group supervisor and there are no consolidated financial statements at the head of the insurance or reinsurance group.

This consultation closes on Monday 21 September 2015.
