Solvency II
What is Solvency II?
Directive 2009/138/EC of the European Parliament and Council on the taking-up and pursuit of the business of Insurance and Reinsurance. Establishes a risk-based regulatory framework for EU insurance and reinsurance companies built on three pillars: quantitative requirements (capital, valuation), governance and risk management, and reporting and disclosure. It comprises 60 controls organised across 15 domains, and applies in the European Union.
How Solvency II maps to other frameworks
All 60 controls, each one mapped to the equivalent requirement in other standards, with the evidence that carries across and the mappings that were judged and rejected shown alongside. No account needed to look.
