Why is it needed?
Lloyd’s insurers operate in a challenging environment. Considerable disclosure requirements include dealing with a dynamic set of reporting requirements and increasingly aggressive reporting timetable.
Managing this key submission process in Excel introduces weaknesses and risks which are difficult to overcome and add real cost to the job:
- Highly manual process controls
- Poor traceability of numbers
- Time consuming source data refresh
- Weak audit trails for preparation and change
- Cross-form and cross-return validation challenges
- Lack of access for concurrent working
How to get started
The implementation process aligns specific details and requirements of your company’s business with the Curator product. This process ensures that your data and metadata (e.g. class of business, risk code etc.) are uploaded into Curator and also addresses any specifics of the way the return process is managed in your company.
