This webinar provided an in-depth review of the draft Credit for Life Reinsurance in U.S. Statutory Financial Statements practice note exposed by the Credit for Reinsurance Subgroup of the Academy’s Reinsurance Committee. Attendees learned about current and emerging practices used to determine the credit for reinsurance that may be taken on statutory financial statements, and gained background for commenting on the draft.

- The Dodd-Frank financial reform act;
- The covered agreement on prudential insurance matters between the U.S. and the EU as exposed on Jan. 13, 2017;
- Credit for Reinsurance Model Law and Regulation changes;
- Regulations covering captive reinsurance structures (i.e., AG 48 and Reserve Financing Model Regulation);
- Changes to Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles 61R;
- Valuation Manual; and
- Updated answers to questions from the prior draft of the practice note.
