The Application Paper on Resolution Powers and Planning provides guidance for supervisors and resolution authorities in implementing a resolution framework, including setting up powers, as well as planning and issues around coordination and cooperation.
This Paper is part of a broader project to help insurance supervisors apply the new standards on recovery and resolution as agreed in the Common Framework for the supervision of Internationally Active Insurance Groups (ComFrame) and the Holistic Framework for the assessment and mitigation of systemic risk in the insurance sector. Recovery and resolution frameworks help reduce the likelihood of a disorderly failure of insurers, as well as the potential adverse impacts of such a failure on policyholders and/or financial stability. An earlier Paper on recovery planning was published in 2019.
The Application Paper on Supervision of Control Functions describes practices aimed at helping supervisors address issues related to the supervision of control functions as described in the Insurance Core Principles (ICPs) and the Common Framework for the Supervision of Internationally Active Insurance Groups (ComFrame). In particular, the Application Paper supports observance of ICP 8 (Risk Management and Control Functions) and is relevant to ICP 5 (Suitability of Persons) and ICP 7 (Corporate Governance).
The Paper provides insurance supervisors with concrete tools to further strengthen their efforts in assessing and addressing risks to the insurance sector from climate change. It also sets out recommendations and examples of good practice, consistent with the Insurance Core Principles (ICPs). With this publication, the IAIS and SIF aim to promote a globally consistent approach to the supervision of climate-related risks.
