Reserve Analysis

 

A reserve analysis provides a professional opinion regarding the loss reserves required for unpaid claims incurred as of a specific date.  A reserve analysis is often prepared to meet regulatory or financial reporting criteria and is usually required by external auditors as part of the audit process.  Often the analysis is prepared for a self-insured trust, a captive insurance company, a corporation that uses a loss sensitive vehicle for handling its random hazard risks or as part of the due diligence process for mergers/acquisitions or divestitures.  Since the loss generation and settlement processes are probabilistic in nature, confidence bounds are also provided so that the potential variability in the loss reserve estimates might be demonstrated.  A general list of uses of a reserve analysis include the following:

 

·       Actuarial reserve certification

·       Satisfaction of self-insurance requirements

·       Negotiation of security and letters of credit requirements

·       Acquisition due diligence

·       Evaluation of expected liabilities for financial statements
