Specific instructions

Reinsurance assets by counterparty

GRS 460.0 must be completed by all general insurers.

General insurers must complete Table 1 if the name of counterparty (reinsurer) is included on the reinsurer identifier list on APRA’s website.

General insurers must complete Table 2 if the name of counterparty (reinsurer) is:

not on the reinsurer identifier list; or
a Lloyd’s of London syndicate; or

balancing item representing the remaining exposure to individual counterparties.

For the purposes of GRS 460.0, it is acceptable for a general insurer to report less than 100 per cent of the general insurer’s total exposure to individual reinsurance counterparties. However, at a minimum, the general insurer must report exposures to individual reinsurance counterparties such that the aggregate of the amount reported represents at least 95 per cent of the sum of the general insurer’s total central estimate of reinsurance recoverables (including net reinsurance recoverable on paid claims overdue for more than 6 months – central estimate and reinsurance recoverable outstanding from second annual balance date after the event – central estimate) and expected reinsurance recoveries. The remaining exposure to individual counterparties can be aggregated and must be reported in Table 2 as a single data item.

Reporting Practice Guide GRPG 460 Reinsurance Counterparty Data Collection provides guidance to assist general insurers in completing GRS 460.0.
