  • GR-6.3 GR-6.3 Assessment Criteria

    • GR-6.3.1

      In assessing whether an insurance licensee's close links may prevent the effective supervision of the firm, or otherwise poses no undue risks to the insurance licensee, the CBB takes into account the following:

      (a) Whether the CBB will receive adequate information from the insurance licensee, and those with whom the licensee has close links, to enable it to determine whether the licensee is complying with CBB requirements;
      (b) The structure and geographical spread of the licensee, its group and other undertakings with which it has close links, and whether this might hinder the provision of adequate and reliable flows of information to the CBB, for instance because of operations in territories which restrict the free flow of information for supervisory purposes;
      (c) In the case of an overseas insurance licensee, whether the insurance licensee and its group will be subject to supervision on a consolidated basis (for example, if a financial resources requirement is determined for the group as a whole); and
      (d) Whether it is possible to assess with confidence the overall financial position of the group at any particular time, and whether there are factors that might hinder this, such as group members having different financial year ends or auditors, or the corporate structure being unnecessarily complex and opaque.
