Measurement FAQs

• What is the issue?

– It has become clear that organisations are interpreting the CoP & Checklist in different ways

– This results in inconsistency of measurement

• What are we doing?

– Clarifying the recommended approach wherever possible (via FAQs). Publication imminent

– Reviewing the Code of Practice/Checklist for consistency for end 2006

• Examples

– Using own checklist: audit trail

– Late placements: a fail? Up to you

– Service of suit: not required for CC pass, but do it anyway

Legacy

• Priority 1 items continue to be added to the Unsigned Policy Report even where there is no intention to produce a policy

– Change request needed to allow current items with AEC not to appear on LUPR

– Agreed by LMBC (Concert)

– Agreed by Lloyd’s (& funding)

– Agreed by LMA (XRB) – subject to one issue

– Should be commissioned shortly, and be in place before year end

• Small reduction in priority 2/3 items encouraging as the XIS Content Management (purging) facility only recently available

• “Launch pad”: Q4 data should improve sharply

– G6 writing to brokers with legacy reduction proposals

– Brokers writing to managing agents with legacy reduction proposals

– LMA and LMBC likely to follow G6 line

Contract Documentation Pilot

• Checking contract up front

– Published set of checks to be completed before the contract is entered into. Rationalised set of checks in pilot QA tool

• Choice of who does the checks

– Allow each managing agent to perform the checks themselves or to place reliance on a leader or a suitable service provider

• Contract ready to use

– At minimum to produce and issue a client copy within 30 days

• Discretion on branding

– Allow managing agents and brokers to agree on branding of the client copy, provided it includes agreed Lloyd’s branding.

• Validation by Lloyd’s

– All pilot risks should be submitted

Mark

Contract Documentation Pilot• Broad support for concept

• Limited volumes to date

• Broadening classes added to pilot to increase volumes

– International property; D&O; other liability

• Slip templates an issue plus general lack of awareness

• MR Slip addendum – under discussion

– Proposed changes required to be made to a Market Reform slip for pilot

• Work underway to raise awareness and resolve blockers

– Significant committed volumes by EOY (st. addendum sorted)

• QA tool

– Third phase (of 4) of QA tool was released 2 October

– Rest of COBs due to rollout end of October; and for BA. On track

Accounting and Settlement strategy

• A&S P2P Overview Design

• A&S Detailed Premium Processes

• A&S Detailed Claims Processes

• A&S Detailed Technical Document

– Had intended to publish end August. Held off to enable all to be published at same time.

• Franchisor Data Requirements

– Required for any Lloyd's managing agent to go P2P. Had planned for end-Sept. Still working on it with managing agents.

Documentation Key Points

• Concentrates on End Vision – full implementation of electronic processing using ACORD messaging

• Deliberately bold

• Few caveats why difficult or slow to be realised

• Not prescriptive on implementation paths

• Optional implementation paths for trading partners to select

• Will influence MRG end-vision work and hence agenda for 2007

Mark

Key Issues

• Use or otherwise of “post placement” message – use of such a message will be optional for implementers of P2P framework

• Claims processing – documentation illustrates how approach to A&S and claims processing can be consistent with hubs and existing claims schemes

• Statistical and regulatory data – Lloyd’s is working with managing agents in this area

Mark

et

Refo

rm

Use of the Documentation

• Highlights process flows and message types

• Not a formal technical design – it is for each firm to produce their own

• Set in the context of the other Reforms, eg IMR LPAN, firms should:

– Assess impact on current process and evolve new ones

– Investigate message transport mechanisms

– Consider document repository interoperability and its implications

– Familiarise with referenced ACORD documentation

– Develop a clear strategy for business units and systems to improve A&S processes

ECF

• Successfully delivered and now live

• 111 early electronic claims partnerships underway

– Using the live system, even though paper file as well; 1200 new claims; 2000 transactions

– IUA pilot – extended to end-Q4

• Contractual framework being sorted

– Key to initial up take; more firms committed to 100% applicable new claims

– When it comes out, sign it!

• Remember this is the initial delivery

– Bug fixes in November; more to come in Q1 next year (Binders)

• Implementation info on MRPO website

• “Optional” – really?

– Ramp up major priority for Q4 ’06 and 2007

Mark

ECF

• Partnerships

– Firms decide partnerships by class of business / trading relationships

– With Lloyd’s and IUA carriers and XCS

– MRPO is monitoring progress

• New claims and their subsequent transactions

– Existing paper based claims (legacy) to be tackled later

• System Processes and Procedures (SP&P)

– Some areas are currently excluded from scope

– February CR’s will address some of these e.g. Binders; Direct Reporting

– See SP&P for full list of areas in scope

ECF Processes & Procedures in MooD

• Reformatting of the SP&P doc to make it more easily accessible

• MooD is a business process modelling tool used to support this work

• Allows process maps to be published (& navigated) on the web and:

– Replace texts with diagrams (processes) where possible

– Allow users to ‘drill down’ from high level info to more detail

– Place information in context

– Display information by role e.g. applicable to Broker only

• Once ready the ECF Processes & Procedures Guide will be published to the Market Reform website (access is free)
