Discounting The Appointed Actuary Seminar Presenter: Patricia Hladun September 20, 2004
Topics • The Move to Discounting • Annual Return Results • Unpaid Claims and Loss Ratio Analysis Exhibit • Sample Review – 10 Companies • Some Filing Guidelines
The Move to Discounting Discounting for P&C companies policy liabilities came into effect Jan 1, 2003 Historical reasons for not allowing discounting: • Short tailed business • Low interest rates • No actuarial requirements (e.g. actuarial report) • Lack of standards of practice • Implicit margin
The Move to Discounting Changes in historical conditions: • Increased litigation • Coverage provided becomes longer tailed and therefore investment income becomes material • Introduction of actuarial requirements by regulators • Development of actuarial standards
The Move to Discounting Reasons for OSFI requiring discounting: • Consistent with OSFI’s reliance approach • Provides a more realistic measure of financial performance • Provides for the explicit determination of margins for adverse deviation • Makes financial reporting practices more consistent with the economic realities • Improves the consistency of Canadian P&C financial reporting
The Move to Discounting Changes to Actuarial Reports: • Opinions are not qualified anymore • New CIA educational note was developed (regarding the runoff of unpaid claims on a discounted basis) • Appendix II was removed and the Unpaid Claims and Loss Ratio Analysis Exhibit was added
The Move to Discounting Changes to the Annual Return: • Policy liabilities are on a discounted basis • Page 60.41(run-off on a discounted basis) was added
Annual Return Results Expected Results based on 12/2001: • Net claims liabilities reduced by $350 million: • 1 ½ % of net undiscounted reserves • 8 – 10 points on MCT/BAAT
Annual Return Results Use of prior period adjustment at 12/2002: • Canadian (20.40.04.02) 67 million • Foreign (20.45.04.02)120 million 187 million

Unpaid Claims & Loss Ratio Analysis Exhibit • Hard copy was included in the AAR • Electronic copy was to be filed by June 1, 2004
Unpaid Claims & Loss Ratio Analysis Exhibit Problems: • Companies unaware of June 1 deadline • Software problems • Incorrect data formats
Unpaid Claims & Loss Ratio Analysis Exhibit Results: • Co-ordination between Quebec regulator and OSFI • Industry results will most likely be shared • Target release for early December
