Transactional Reviews
Reinsurance accounting and reporting requirements can be difficult to manage, and it is not unprecedented that errors and omissions may occur in the administration of the reinsurance agreement. Errors and omissions that remain undiscovered for a period of time (i.e. spanning more than one calendar year) can have a destabilizing effect on the ceding company’s net underwriting results.
The design, implementation and testing of controls requires a deep understanding of reinsurance. Munich Re’s professional Account Services team follows a systematic approach to evaluating the relevant transactions.
See services
- Reviewing the terms and conditions of the subject reinsurance contracts
- Obtaining the direct and ceded data pertaining to the contracts
- Reconciling the ceded data to the summary reinsurance reports previously issued by the ceding company
- Employing computer assisted analytical procedures to reconcile the ceded transactional data to the direct transactional data to identify any omissions from the ceded data as well as any inconsistencies between the ceded premium and loss transactions
- Conducting an in-depth analysis of any anomalies, which may require a review of documents contained in policy files and claim files
