5. All Rights Reserved – Ernst & Young 2012 Solvency II 5 Pillar 2 expectations on firms The key requirement of Pillar 2 is for firms to have a system of governance to “provide for sound and prudent management of the business” This system of governance “shall at least include an adequate transparent organisational structure with a clear allocation and appropriate segregation of responsibilities and an effective system for ensuring the transmission of information” Supporting this requirement are six key “aspects” based on conditions and functions which the Directive expects Firms to address and have in place: ► Conditions ► Fitness and propriety ► Outsourcing ► Internal control ► Functions ► Risk management function ► Internal audit function ► Actuarial function Pillar 2 also requires firms, as part of the risk management system that forms part of the governance arrangements to undertake an Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA) In addition to these requirements on firms, Pillar 2 also includes provisions for Supervisory review and action Governance arrangements demonstrate how well a firm is managed and therefore has a direct link to the regulator’s risk assessment of the business, which in turn will impact on the SCR loading.

6. All Rights Reserved – Ernst & Young 2012 Solvency II 6 What is the ORSA A regular practice of assessing overall capital needs with a view to the firm’s specific risk profile that forms part of the risk management system. It is: ► an internal assessment process and as such should be embedded in strategic decisions ► a supervisory tool for the supervisory authorities The ORSA aims at enhancing awareness of the interrelationships between the risks the business is currently exposed to, or may face in the long term, and the internal capital needs that follow from this risk exposure The ORSA needs to be supported by an effective and robust escalation process paying particular attention to ► Functional escalation ► Risk exposures and the linkages to decision making The ORSA can be defined as the entirety of the processes and procedures employed to identify, assess, monitor, manage, and report the short and long term risks that the business faces or may face and to determine the own funds necessary to ensure that its overall solvency needs are met at all times.

It should form an integral part of the business planning of the organisation. A key challenge will be integrating the appropriate modelling approaches into the risk framework and ORSA

All Rights Reserved – Ernst & Young 2012 Solvency II 7 ORSA relationship with internal capital model and standard formula SCR Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA) Risks not considered by standard formula Aspects varying between business and regulatory (SCR) models Risks Liquidity, Reputational and Strategic risk are not included in the standard formula. If these represent a material risk they need to be included in the ORSA Liquidity risk Reputational risk Strategic risk Time horizon Confidence level Management actions Time horizon The time horizon used for business planning may differ from the time horizon for regulatory capital by internal model Confidence level A different confidence level to the SCR internal model may be used e.g rating confidence level Management actions Consideration should be taken of any agreed management actions that could influence the risk profile Stress and scenario tests Should be extensive in business planning for internal purposes Firms using models will be required to integrate these into the ORSA.
