Schedule

 

Reporting Standard LOLRS 800.1 Policy Data: Public and Product Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance comprises the 24 pages commencing on the following page.


 

 

 

Reporting Standard LOLRS 800.1

 

Policy Data: Public and Product Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance

 

 

Objective of this reporting standard

This reporting standard is made under section 13 of the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001 (the Collection of Data Act).  It requires Lloyd’s to provide APRA with information on certain public liability, product liability and professional indemnity policies in force during a reporting period. 

 

Reporting requirements 

1.             If, at any time during a reporting period covered by paragraph 2, a reportable policy of a Lloyd’s underwriter is in force, Lloyd’s must report on the policy, in accordance with the Data Specifications, by the time in paragraph 3.

Note: reportable policy is defined in paragraph 16.

2.             For the purposes of the paragraph 1, the reporting periods are the six month period beginning on 1 January 2016 and ending on 30 June 2016 and each successive 6 month period (ending on a 31 December or a 30 June) after that.  

3.             A report required by paragraph 1 must be provided:

(a)           if the reporting period ends on 30 June – by no later than the 31 October next following the end of the reporting period; or

(b)          if the reporting period ends on 31 December – by no later than the 30 April next following the end of the reporting period; or

or such later time as APRA may determine in writing.  APRA may determine a later time in writing in relation to the whole of a report, or in relation to a report to the extent that it relates to a particular class of Lloyd’s underwriters, or in relation to a report to the extent that it relates to one or more Lloyd’s underwriters named in the determination (to the intent that APRA may permit the late submission of part of the report).

Variation of reporting periods

4.             APRA may, by notice in writing, determine that to the extent that reports required under this reporting standard will relate to a Lloyd’s underwriter with an accounting financial year that does not end on 30 June, the part of each such report relating to that underwriter may be provided in respect of reporting periods based on the underwriter’s own accounting financial year.  

5.             APRA may, by notice in writing, change the reporting periods for Lloyd’s to require it to provide reports under this reporting standard: 

(a)           more frequently (APRA may require this when, having regard to the particular circumstances of the Lloyd’s underwriters, APRA considers it necessary or desirable to obtain information more frequently for the purposes of the prudential supervision of the Lloyd’s underwriters); or 

(b)          less frequently  (APRA may do so when, having regard to the particular circumstances of the Lloyd’s underwriters and the extent to which they requires prudential supervision, and other relevant considerations, it is unnecessary to require Lloyd’s to provide the information on a 6 monthly basis).   

6.             If APRA changes a reporting period under paragraph 4 or 5 in relation to a report or part of a report, the report (or, where applicable, the part of the report) required under this reporting standard in respect of the changed period must be provided by no later than the last day of the second month after the end of the changed period or such later time as APRA may determine in writing.   

Method of submission

7.             Reports required by this reporting standard must be rendered in comma separated values (CSV) format in accordance with the Data Specifications, and must be provided either electronically through the web site www.ncpd.apra.gov.au, by logging on using the relevant customer identification number and password provided by Fujitsu Australia (as agent of APRA), and following the instructions on that web site.

8.             Despite paragraph 7, APRA may, in writing, make either or both of the following determinations:

(a)           a determination that reports required by this reporting standard must be provided in accordance with alternative information technology requirements specified by APRA in the determination; and

(b)          a determination that reports required by this reporting standard must be provided to APRA or an agent of APRA at an alternative address in accordance with requirements specified in the determination.

Authorisation

9.             Reports provided by Lloyd’s in accordance with this reporting standard must be the product of processes and controls developed by Lloyd’s for the internal review and authorisation of the information contained in the reports.  

Note: Lloyd’s General Representative in Australia must ensure that an appropriate set of policies and procedures is in place for the authorisation of data provided to APRA.

10.         Fujitsu Australia (as agent of APRA) will provide Lloyd’s with a customer identification number.  If Lloyd’s proposes to submit reports required by this reporting standard using the method in paragraph 7 (i.e. via the website), Lloyd’s must apply for a password by viewing the web page referred to in paragraph 7, quoting Lloyd’s customer identification number and following the instructions for applying for a password on that page.  Fujitsu Australia will advise Lloyd’s General Representative in Australia of the password for Lloyd’s.  When a report is provided using the method in paragraph 7, Lloyd’s will be required to quote its customer identification number and password.  Upon successful validation of the customer identification and password a secure session will be created and the report will be encrypted before transmission.

11.         Despite paragraph 10 , or where APRA has made a determination under subparagraph 8(a) or (b) specifying an alternate method of submission, APRA may also determine in writing that: 

(a)           a specified person (who need not be Lloyd’s General Representative in Australia or agent); or

(b)          a person holding a specified position (who need not be Lloyd’s General Representative in Australia or agent); or

(c)           a person authorised by Lloyd’s to use Lloyd’s customer identification number and password, 

may, or must, authorise (in a manner specified) information provided by Lloyd’s under this reporting standard.

Minor alterations to forms and instructions

12.         APRA may: 

(a)           make minor variations to the Data Specifications (either generally, or in relation to a class of Lloyd’s underwriters, or in relation to one or more named Lloyd’s underwriters) to correct technical, programming or logical errors, inconsistencies or anomalies; 

(b)          vary, omit or substitute (either generally, or in relation to a class of Lloyd’s underwriters, or in relation to one or more named Lloyd’s underwriters) an occupation code or description in Appendix B to the Data Specifications, if APRA forms the view that the existing code or description is inappropriate having regard to the circumstances or business of Lloyd’s and any other relevant considerations; or

(c)           vary, omit or substitute (either generally, or in relation to a class of Lloyd’s underwriters, or in relation to a one or more named Lloyd’s underwriters) a specification in a Table in the Data Specifications, if APRA forms the view that the specification is inappropriate having regard to the circumstances or business of Lloyd’s underwriters and any other relevant considerations.

13.         If APRA makes such a variation it must notify Lloyd’s in writing.

Past reporting periods

14.         Lloyd’s must provide APRA with reports in respect of a past reporting period under the old reporting standard, notwithstanding that it was repealed on 8 August 2013.  For these purposes:

old reporting standard means the reporting standard  Reporting standard LOLRS 800.1 (2005) made by Financial Sector (Collection of Data) determination No. 33 of 2005;

past reporting period means a reporting period ending on a date between 1 June 2013 and 1 June 2016.

15.  Lloyd’s must provide reports to APRA under paragraph 14 of this reporting standard by 1 September 2016.  For the avoidance of doubt, where a general insurer has provided a report to APRA prior to 1 September 2016 in relation to a past reporting period, the general insurer has complied with paragraph 14.

Interpretation

16.         In this reporting standard:

agent of APRA means a person appointed under s 47 of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority Act 1998 to receive data on behalf of APRA.

APRA means the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority established under the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority Act 1998.

Schedule

 

Data specifications for individual policies for public and product liability and professional indemnity Insurance

Overview  

These specifications have been prepared for the purpose of defining the policy information required to be submitted by Lloyd’s in respect of public and product liability and professional indemnity insurance.  This information will contribute to a National Claims and Policy Database (NCPD) in respect of these classes of insurance.  The intention is to create a database that holds information in respect of claims and policies for public and product liability and professional indemnity on a national basis.  

Details of requirements in relation to reporting periods, method of submission and authorisation are set out in the reporting standard.  The data submitted by Lloyd’s will be validated by APRA each reporting period. The data validation to be performed is outlined in Appendix A.

Note that where business is written as part of a package policy, the “Product type” is to be based on the nature of the cover offered, as set out in the above table.  The fact that cover is sold in conjunction with other types of insurance is not collected.  

10. Original Inception Date

Code the date when a policy providing this cover was first issued to the client in this field as DDMMYYYY.  Where this information is not available, enter a hyphen (“-“).  

11. Date of Commencement/Inception (Term Inception Date)

Code the inception date of the risk in this field as DDMMYYYY.

12. Effective Start Date (for the purpose of tracking effect of endorsements)

Code the start date of any endorsement which changes the risk in this field as DDMMYYYY. Can be equal to or later than field 11. This field can also be blank if the row reported is not an endorsement record.  Where this date is equal to the term expiry date, this signifies a premium adjustment at expiry of the contract. 

Where there are multiple endorsements in one reporting period, each endorsement must be reported.

13. Term Expiry Date

Code the date on which the existing policy expires in this field as DDMMYYYY.

14. Effective End Date (for the purpose of tracking endorsements & cancellations)

Code the date on which any endorsement which changes the risk is due to cease in this field as DDMMYYYY.  

15. Premium (This field is not used)

This field is to contain either a or b reflecting whether you are providing a value for “Gross Annualised Premium” in field 15a or “Earned Premium” in field 15b.

15a. Gross Annualised Premium

In this field insert the Lloyd’s proportion of the gross annualised premium in force based on the rating factors represented by this record (in whole $, no decimal points) converted to A$ using end of processing month rates of exchange.  Exclude all statutory charges (FSL, GST & SD) but include others costs (commissions).  If the policy is for a term other than twelve (12) months, pro-rate the premium to a 12month period.  

Note that this is NOT the gross written premium – it is the rate of premium for a full 12 months cover based on the rating factors that apply to the policy at the effective start date (field 12).  

Also note that the premium for “short term events” cover should not be annualised. “Short Term Events” are defined as those that cover a specific period that is less than one month e.g. a sporting event over a long weekend or an annual festival.

15b. Gross Earned Premium

In this field, insert the Lloyd’s proportion of the earned amount of gross annual premium for the exposure of this policy during the reporting period (in whole $, no decimal points) converted to A$ using end of processing month rates of exchange between the effective start date (field 12) and effective end date (field 14).  Include the same components as for gross annualised premium.  

For endorsements and cancellations, the gross earned premium should still be the earned amount of gross annual premium for the exposure of this policy during the reporting period (in whole $, no decimal points) between the effective start date of the endorsement or cancellation (field 12) and effective end date of the endorsement or cancellation (field 14).

16. Gross Written Premium

In this field insert Lloyd’s proportion of the gross written premium for the exposure of this policy. Exclude all statutory charges (FSL, GST & SD) but include others costs (commissions) converted to A$ using end of processing month rates of exchange.

For endorsements and cancellations, the updated gross written premium should be stated.

This field should be completed for every reporting period.

17. Risk Factor (This field is not used)

Risk factor is a measure of the relative exposure that the policy represents. Where the information for fields 17a to 17f is not available, enter a hyphen (“-”).

17a. Turnover

Most recently declared annual turnover of the risk represented by this risk record (in whole dollars) converted to A$ using end of processing month rates of exchange.  If you collect turnover in bands, show the range of the band in whole dollars e.g. if turnover is up to $5 million, enter “1-5000000”, if between $20 million and $50 million, “20000001-50000000”.  Commas must be excluded from all numbers. This should be the total turnover of the organisation, not the insurer’s share of risk (but see note on policy field item 23 below).  

17b. Total Assets

Most recent prior year business turnover represented by this risk record (in whole dollars) converted to A$ using end of processing month rates of exchange.

17c. Professional Fees

Most recent prior year annual professional fees represented by this risk record (in whole dollars) converted to A$ using end of processing month rates of exchange.  

17d. Total number of staff             

Most recent prior year number of full-time equivalent staff members employed in the insured business or practice, whether or not members of a profession.  

17e. Other

If any of 17a, 17b, 17c or 17d contains a value, then leave this blank. However if none is applicable then this field should contain a value with a brief description of the risk factor provided in field 17f.

17f. Other Description

If 17e contains a value, this field should contain a brief description of the risk factor of the value provided in field 17e.

18. State  

For professional risks, this should be the state (ACT, NSW, NT, QLD, SA, TAS, VIC and WA) where work is done; if multi-state cover is provided, include the state where the majority of work is done. For EPL and D&O, provide the state where the head office is located. This would be expected to be sourced from data for stamp duty split purpose.

Where this information is not available, enter a hyphen (“-“).

19. Postcode    

Postcode of location of principal risk.  If not available, postcode of head office or postal address of policyholder.  

Where this information is not available, enter a hyphen (“-“).

20. Excess/Deductible/Attachment Point      

How much of any claim that an insured must bear before the insurer becomes liable (in whole dollars) converted to A$ using end of processing month rates of exchange.  Where different levels exist for different causes of claim, enter the excess that is most commonly applied for such policies, or where that is not available, the minimum applied.  

21. Limit of Indemnity  

Insert the Lloyd’s proportion of the limit of indemnity in whole dollars disregarding any excess payments by the insured converted to A$ using end of processing month rates of exchange. Where different limits exist for different causes of claim, enter the limit that is most commonly applied for such policies.

22. Nature of Insured Organisation/Occupation

For Public and Products Liability, EPL and D&O risks, use the principal classification of the business from the latest edition of Catalogue Number 1292.0 Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC), published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and available on their web site.  Provide data at the 4digit ANZSIC code level. Any reports or publications will be aggregated to the 2 digit level ANZSIC.

Residential strata owners’ liability is collected under ANZSIC classification 7711- Residential Property Operators, whereas for Commercial Property Operators it is either 7712 or the occupation code that is most closely aligned with the tenancy of the strata.

For Professional Risks, use the codes provided in Attachment B except for code “OMULTI” which is only for use for facility business.

Where this information is not available, enter a hyphen (“-“).

23. Coinsurance Proportion

This is Lloyd’s overall percentage share of the risk to 2 decimal places (e.g. 66.66 for 66.66%).  Where there is a mid-term market change a policy may appear more than once on the file and the gross premium figures may change if the Lloyd’s percentage changes.

Appendix A: Data Validation

The individual policy data submitted by Lloyd’s will be validated by APRA as follows:

Earned premium submitted in information provided by Lloyd’s under Lloyd’s Security Trust Fund Determination No 1, less the premium received for all facilities, is expected to reconcile to within 5% of the total of the earned premium shown in field 15b on the individual policy records submitted by insurers or as calculated by APRA from the gross annualised premium (field 15a). APRA will expect Lloyd’s to explain the source of any greater discrepancy.  

While it is appreciated that more extensive reconciliation could be attempted, this could require significant changes to the existing reporting requirements to APRA or the submission of other information (such as management accounts) from insurers that would not be in standard formats. 

APRA will expect that Lloyd’s needs to demonstrate the reason for a discrepancy between the individual records submitted to the database and its aggregate data reported to APRA in the above forms, the insurer will share such additional reports with APRA as required.  

Appendix B: Example Treatment of Exposure Records

Lloyd’s is to provide an initial record for each policy/risk at the start of each period with additional records each time that policy/risk changes in any way in terms of its exposure.  The following sets out the expected relationship between Gross Annualised Premium and Gross Earned Premium for your information.  

Note:  Start date = Term Inception Date (field 11)

            Date exp from = Effective Start Date (field 12)

            End date = Term Expiry Date (field 13)

            Date exp to = Effective End Date (field 14)

  GAP = Gross Annualised Premium (field 15a), NOT written premium.

             GEP = Earned Premium (field 15b).
