FINITE REINSURANCE REQUIREMENTS ENDED

September 19, 2005

The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation has withdrawn proposed state-specific requirements regarding the accounting treatment of finite reinsurance, making it the second state to do so. The office has opted instead to implement the uniform standards that the National Association of Insurance Commissioners is in the process of adopting.

“PCI is pleased with the actions of Commissioner Kevin McCarty and the OIR for its withdrawal of the proposed additional state-specific finite reinsurance requirements,” William Stander, Property Casualty Insurers of America regional manager, said. “PCI strongly supports insurer compliance with all reinsurance accounting guidance, and supports additional disclosures with respect to reinsurance contracts with “finite” characteristics so that regulators can determine the contracts that they need to examine more carefully.”

The OIR issued a withdrawal notice to the finite reinsurance rule proposed earlier this year. This withdrawal appears to recognize that the NAIC is near final adoption of additional disclosures regarding finite reinsurance in the NAIC’s annual statement, including a CEO and CFO attestation.
