SUP 16.7 Financial reports

Application

SUP 16.7.1G

The effect of SUP 16.1.1 R is that this section applies to every firm within a category listed in the left hand column of SUP 16.7.5 G. Firms should also have regard to reporting requirements that arise from SUP 16.12, including Transitional Provisions, for reporting dates after 1 January 2008.28

SUP 16.7.2G
  1. (1)

    Financial reporting17 requirements for insurers, excluding friendly societies are set out in IPRU(INS). For their other reporting requirements, see SUP 16.7.73 R - SUP 16.7.75 R.17

    17
  2. (2)

    Financial reporting requirements for friendly societies are set out in IPRU(FSOC). 1311 For their other reporting requirements, see SUP 16.7.73 R- SUP 16.7.75 R. 17

Purpose

SUP 16.7.3G

Principle 4 requires firms to maintain adequate financial resources, and the Interim Prudential sourcebooks (or, in the case of firms with permission to carry on insurance mediation activity, mortgage mediation activity, or both, MIPRU) 11set out the FSA's detailed capital adequacy requirements. By submitting regular financial reports, firms enable the FSA to monitor their compliance with Principle 4 and with the detailed requirements of the Interim Prudential sourcebooks orMIPRU23, as the case may be11. These reports also help the FSA to analyse firms' financial condition and performance and to understand their business. By means of further collation and review of the data which these reports provide, the FSA also uses the reports to identify developments across the financial services industry and its constituent sectors.106

2323
SUP 16.7.4G

The requirements in this section differ according to firm categories, as different financial information is required to reflect different types of business. The requirements in SUP 16.7 represent an interim approach to financial reporting, based mainly on the reporting requirements which previous regulators applied to firms. Standard formats are used for reporting by each category of firm, to assist comparability between firms of the same category. Timely submission is important to ensure the FSA has up-to-date information.

Note 3 = Rather than specifying a standard format for each financial conglomerate to use, each financial conglomerate for which the FSA is the co-ordinator must discuss with the FSA the form of the information to be reported. This should mean that usual information management systems of the financial conglomerate can be used to the extent possible to generate and analyse the information required.

When reviewing the risk concentration levels, the FSA will in particular monitor the possible risk of contagion in the financial conglomerate, the risk of a conflict of interests, the risk of circumvention of sectoral rules, and the level or volume of risks.

Note 4 = For the purposes of this reporting requirement, an intra-group transaction will be presumed to be significant if its amount exceeds 5% of the total amount of capital adequacy requirements at the level of the financial conglomerate.

Rather than specifying a standard format for each financial conglomerate to use, each financial conglomerate for which the FSA is the co-ordinator will need to discuss with the FSA the form of the information to be reported.

When reviewing the intra-group transactions, the FSA will in particular monitor the possible risk of contagion in the financial conglomerate, the risk of a conflict of interests, the risk of circumvention of sectoral rules, and the level or volume of risks.
