Insurance Methodologies RFC Webinar (APAC)
Register to view the On-Demand replay below.
In this webinar, we will discuss proposed changes to four different methodologies, including the Life Insurers Methodology, the Property and Casualty Insurers Methodology, the Reinsurers Methodology and the Trade Credit Insurers Methodology, all published in January 2023, and to the Financial Statement Adjustments in the Analysis of Financial Institutions methodology, published in August 2018. These changes reflect the incorporation of new accounting standards for insurance, including International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”) 17 accounting rules and Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long Duration Contracts (“LDTI”) , which became effective January 1, 2023. The webinar will highlight how these new accounting standards are incorporated into the methodologies and address the following questions:
- What is the anticipated impact on ratings?
- How is CSM reflected in the new proposed methodologies?
- What are the proposed changes to leverage sub-factor ranges?
