INTERNAL MODELS APPROVAL AND VALIDATION
There is a rigorous approval process for use of full and partial internal models, making major changes to internal models and making changes to the policy for changing internal models for Solvency II. Also, under Solvency II, an independent model validation is required to be carried out in relation to an insurance company’s internal model, which is to be used to calculate the Solvency Capital Requirement (“SCR”) and used widely across the company as part of the system of governance, particularly in the coverage of material risks.
Finalyse combines an academic perspective with a practical approach to the implementation and validation of internal models, helping insurers manage this balancing act along each step of the process.

Key Features
- Given the ever-increasing regulatory scrutiny in the context of the Solvency II European framework, the internal models/actuarial models must respect the fundamental guiding principles and accepted market practices.
- Besides being a regulatory requirement for insurers since the introduction of Solvency II in January 2016, an internal model lies at the core of risk management for insurers.
- Working with Finalyse on the design of an internal model, you will benefit from the broad experience we have accumulated in the area of risk and actuarial.
- Finalyse will provide solutions tailored to your modelling methodologies and business requirements.
