Our practical experience includes the following: designing and building capital models under the Solvency II regime validating internal models completing QIS4 and QIS5 questionnaires and analysis of results calculating the SCR and MCR for companies using the latest version of the standard formula and analysis of results building a standard formula tool for companies to use to calculate their SCR and MCR under Solvency II calculating and advising on the derivation of technical provisions on a Solvency II basis board and senior management mentoring and education conducting gap analyses developing implementation plans, including work streams, resourcing and dependencies developing ORSA processes, reports and models advising on the development of Solvency II balance sheets developing governance arrangements under the new regime articulating risk appetite statements developing and embedding risk management frameworks including target operating models and ERM frameworks developing Solvency II compliant reporting and disclosure procedures.

11 Case study Delivering a major project Our client was a very large UK-incorporated insurer. It has a number of subsidiaries, in the UK, throughout Europe and in North America and writes a wide variety of classes of business. The insurer had a major project to transfer the insurance capital team from one territory (the moving territory) to another (the receiving territory). However, it was resource constrained and asked us to provide a team to help to deliver the project. The assignment involved reviewing a model built and used by the subsidiary general insurance company to calculate its required capital under the UK ICA regime. The output of the model was the capital requirement of the subsidiary and served as an input into the group ICA model and capital requirement. Our team was also responsible for the frequent calculations of the Solvency Capital Requirement and Minimum Capital Requirement under the Solvency II regime. In addition, our team was involved in the quarterly reserving process, both for the statutory reserves and for the Solvency II technical provisions. Included in this work was technical review of the models used for reserving. As part of the insurance capital team, responsibilities included the drafting of risk appetite statements, against which insurance, credit and market risk would then be monitored. Our team, along with the senior management of the insurer then developed the management information which would be submitted to board committees to effectively manage risk within the business. The transfer of the insurance capital team from one territory to another also required several ad-hoc projects to be undertaken while continuing to perform business as usual activities. These ad-hoc projects included: integrating the ICA model into the model already in-situ in the receiving territory design and appropriate monitoring of risk appetites that encompassed both the moving territory and the receiving territory integrating the annual business planning process of the moving territory with that of the receiving territory planning the logistics of the physical move including: the availability of data the availability of systems the facilitation of knowledge transfer between teams Grant Thornton UK LLP.

12 Independent expertise We have a long established reputation for providing independent professional expertise, for both regulatory and transaction assignments. This background, combined with the strong skills and experience of our team, means that we are extremely well positioned to work on assignments of this nature. Section 166 We have extensive experience of undertaking section 166 Skilled Person reviews covering all aspects of an insurer s governance arrangements. This includes areas where our actuarial expertise is particularly relevant including claims reserving, claims governance, actuarial reserving and business planning. In fact, Grant Thornton has completed more section 166 Skilled Person reviews that any other professional services firm. In addition, we have also assisted other regulators with their investigations into significant issues arising at insurance companies, including reserving issues. Part VII transfers Grant Thornton has provided the Independent Expert for a wide range of Part VII transfers. These include: transfers between unrelated entities intra-group transfers transfers between insurance companies and Lloyd s syndicates transfers between insurers in the UK, Ireland and other European territories transfers of both direct and reinsurance business transfers of liabilities arising from exposure to asbestos, pollution and other latent claims Schemes of Arrangement We have provided the Scheme Actuary for a variety of Schemes of Arrangement. These have included schemes with substantial exposure to latent claims, including those arising from asbestos and environmental pollution. Independent expert We have also acted as the independent expert for a variety of assignments, including those involving litigation Grant Thornton UK LLP. All rights reserved.
13 Case studies Trusted advisor We are a trusted advisor to a European based insurer writing a variety of commercial risks across a number of European territories. We have worked with this insurer for more than six years. We assist the Board of Directors in setting the reserves by undertaking quarterly reserving exercises. We also provide the certification of reserves required by the regulator. In addition, we are helping the insurer to prepare for Solvency II. Assignments have included: completion of QIS4, completion of QIS5, gap analyses, implementation planning, designing risk management frameworks, and Board training. We have also assisted this client with a strategically important transaction, as well as seconding one of our team to support the data analysis and reporting function. s.166 review We have recently acted as the Skilled Person for a s.166 review of a large UK motor insurer. Our work involved assessing the effectiveness and appropriateness of the firm s claims and actuarial reserving processes. When undertaking this assignment, in addition to meeting the FSA s requirements, we also delivered pragmatic recommendations that enabled the insurer to strengthen its governance arrangements and enhance its business without undermining the strengths of its business model Grant Thornton UK LLP.
