Not so long ago…
• Little data supplied, if any
•
•
•
•
Paper format only
No database to capture schedules
Exposures recorded on cards / datasheets
Manually calculated exposures
• No consistency in data definitions
• Mish-mash of external codesets

How Can Standards Help?
• Data standards provide the lifeblood of the
industry to each player – reliable data
• Quality data helps to address the majority of
the industry’s concerns
• Standards makes data management simpler
and more reliable
• One way of sharing data with all business partners
• A reliable data standard allows all companies to
focus on their core concerns
• i.e. Doing smart things with the data instead of just
cleansing it

ACORD Exposure Reporting
Standards
• Responding to industry-wide requirement to
have an industry standard to capture and
move exposure data from the primary
insurance market through the insurance
value without loss of data fidelity
• Over 60 stakeholders in the Working Group,
supporting the development and
implementation of the standard.
• Co-chaired by Lloyd’s, Swiss Re and Zurich

Success criteria for standards...
• ...is not that they exist, but that they
are being used
• Over 80% of Lloyd’s syndicates, by
capacity, support the submission of
delegated authority property reports in
ER3001 format
• The three main cat modelling vendors
have committed to implementing ACORD
import and export functionality into their
systems – AIR Worldwide, EQECAT and RMS
