Solvency II Framework

Solvency II is a risk-based capital regime based on three pillars:-

  • Pillar 1 – includes the calculation of liabilities and risk-based capital
  • Pillar 2 – comprises a supervisory review process for the measurement of risk, against which capital must be held
  • Pillar 3 – focuses on disclosures, reporting and transparency requirements of the risk and capital requirements

Due to the simplicity of the regulatory framework for the insurance market, a lack of an economic risk-based approach and differences in implementation across the EU, the existing regulatory regime needed to be revised.

The Need for Solvency II Pillar 3

The Previous Solvency II framework had several shortcomings and loopholes, which resulted in some serious challenges for the supervision of the insurance industry. Considering this, EIOPA (European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority), the supervisory authority and financial regulatory institution of the EU, introduced the new solvency requirements with a stringent regulatory framework, to ensure that insurers have sufficient capital to withstand adverse events, both in terms of insurance risk (as under the previous regime), and now also in terms of economic, market and operational risk.

Solvency II Pillar 3 Mandate

As of January 2016, due to the Solvency II mandate, insurance and re-insurance companies across the European Union and the UK have been required to submit detailed financial information reports, in XBRL Format (eXtensible Business Reporting Language), to their national supervisors, as per the requirements laid down by EIOPA.

When Solvency II Pillar 3 Reports be Filed?

The reports must be filed on a quarterly and an annual basis. The submission deadline for quarterly submissions is usually around 40 days from the end of the reporting period. For annual submissions, it is 90 days from the end of the reporting period.

Challenges Faced in Solvency II Reporting

icon_1
Lack of Preparedness
The lack of regulatory readiness among insurers has made it extremely challenging for insurance companies to have a well-rounded understanding of the Solvency II framework. Companies should focus on the technical instructions for calculating the data, consistency of the reported data, and reviewing of the prepared reports before the submission is made.
Integrating Integral Systems
Data Granularity
Preparing and collating data, down to the finest detail, has been a challenge for insurance companies, as the quantity and granularity of the annually reported Solvency II information required by EIOPA is essential. Businesses need to ensure that the final data populated in each of the reportable templates is valid. Data must be correctly represented in XBRL format, as per the rules put forth by the respective national regulators.

Budget Constraints
Complying with every requirement of the Solvency II framework and regular taxonomy updates requires significant investment in IT and staff resources, which can become a hefty investment very quickly.

Getting Information from Multiple Sources
A significant challenge faced by insurance and re-insurance companies is that the source data required for generating different templates in regulatory reports is scattered across many different systems, business units, and even regional locations. The final report that should be submitted to the regulator must be in XBRL format (a machine-readable format). Insurance companies must ensure that their data is correctly represented in XBRL format.

How to Choose the Right Solvency II Pillar 3 Solution?

Since the introduction of Pillar 3, insurers are witnessing huge organisational and process implications with regard to production, collation and management of financial data. Therefore, there is a need to find the right Solvency II Pillar 3 solution. The problem here, is that most service providers are leveraging solutions for Pillar 1, Pillar 2 and Pillar 3 reporting, which leads to a haphazard reporting process. This is why companies should consider a separate application/system for Pillar 3 reporting Considerations when scouting for a robust Solvency II Pillar 3 solution:-

  • Cloud-based solution with data on secured servers
  • Automated and flexible data entry and easy upload process
  • Flexibility to connect with external data sources for a seamless reporting process
  • Collaborative workflow connecting multiple users (Preparer, reviewer, etc.)
  • Comprehensive validation process
  • Comparability of report versions at regular intervals
  • Agility to adapt to the latest regulatory changes by EIOPA
  • User-friendly interface and experience with quick TAT
  • High-quality XBRL report output as per regulator’s requirements
