Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA) - NAIC Model Act
NAIC Model Act #505 on risk management and the own risk and solvency assessment, adopted in 2012 and effective from 1 January 2015 where enacted, requires US-domiciled insurers above the premium thresholds (500 million dollars for the insurer, 1 billion for its group) to keep a risk management framework, carry out an ORSA at least annually and on significant risk profile change, and file a confidential ORSA Summary Report with a CRO attestation once a year on request or with the lead state. The report follows the NAIC ORSA Guidance Manual (held as of December 2022): Section 1 the ERM framework, Section 2 the assessment of risk exposures in normal and stressed conditions, Section 3 the group assessment of risk capital and the prospective solvency assessment, with further expectations for internationally active insurance groups. The Act makes ORSA material confidential and privileged and lets states set daily penalties for late filing.
