1 Internal Audit s role within Solvency II 14 May 2010
2 Internal Audit s role within Solvency II Programme Solvency II requirements regarding Internal Audit How Internal Audit can support preparation for Solvency II How the approach to Internal Audit may change under Solvency II
3 Internal Audit requirements under Solvency II Existing Requirement = FSA Handbook (SYSC ) Depending on nature, scale & complexity of business; it may be appropriate to delegate monitoring of systems and controls to an internal audit function Should have clear responsibilities, reporting lines to audit committee/senior management, adequately resourced, competent staff, independent of day to day activity and appropriate access to records Solvency II - Level 1 requirements Directive Article 41 System of governance shall be proportionate to nature, scale & complexity of operations Directive Article 47 Effective internal audit - evaluate adequacy/effectiveness of internal controls & governance Objective & independent from operational functions Findings & recommendations to management who will determine actions and ensure they are carried out
4 Internal Audit requirements under Solvency II Level 2 requirements - CEIOPS Advice (DOC 29/09 former CP33) ( Paragraphs to To ensure independence: Impartiality, exercise own initiative in all areas, free to express opinions & findings to whole management/supervisory body Complete & unrestricted right to prompt information, availability of information and direct communication with staff Draw up a risk based audit plan All activities and units shall fall in scope At least annual written report of findings to management/supervisory body Cover deficiency with regard to suitability/efficiency of internal control as well as major shortcomings of internal policies, procedures & processes Include recommendations on remedies for past inadequacies and address how past criticisms/recommendations have been implemented
5 Internal Audit requirements under Solvency II Additional CEIOPS Guidance (within DOC 29/09 former CP33) Paragraphs to include: IA strategy document Objective & scope, status, competences/tasks & responsibilities IA plan of work for several years, based on risk analysis of scale, complexity, developments Realistic, budgeted, approved by management/supervisory body Management regularly communicate with IA Prompt written reports to audited units also to management/supervisory body if deficiencies identified Documentation of IA work to allow findings to be retraced Sufficient IA resources to meet plan Business units have obligation to notify IA of control deficiencies IA should define triggers Audit committee appropriate in large/complex organisations
6 Lloyd s Internal Audit guidance for Solvency II ( Solvency II Detailed Guidance Governance) Internal audit terms of reference/charter Define purpose, approach, authority & responsibility Establish role, status & authority within organisation Reporting lines Report directly to audit committee to ensure independence Internal audit should not be responsible for: Delivery of business projects but may sit on teams to advise Implementation of recommendations (OK to monitor) Acceptable to outsource if subject to in-house oversight & challenge Senior individual responsible for liaison Adequate reporting & oversight to audit committee/board
7 Lloyd s Internal Audit guidance for Solvency II Clear rationale for internal audit work scheduled Development of internal audit plan should: Include discussion with management, but not be dictated by management Risk based and linked to risk register, but assess risk independently Should include an audit of risk management & risk register at some stage Should cover three years - (NB: This will need to include Solvency II projects) Explain prioritisation of areas including frequency of testing cycles Timetable for delivery of audits Approved by audit committee Progress reported to audit committee
8 Lloyd s Internal Audit guidance for Solvency II Audit fieldwork Scope based on risks to business and concerns about effectiveness of controls Work performed clearly linked to show scope met Records should show objective, sample selection, testing & results Audit trail from work performed to audit report Audit findings Clear & concise report Include actions agreed by management Summary of work performed linked to scope Overall conclusion / rating & summary of key findings Detailed findings with recommendations with timescales & responsibilities Report to audit committee who may question Circulate reports also to senior management of audited area, external audit & risk management function
9 Lloyd s Internal Audit guidance for Solvency II Issue tracking Ensure recommendations are implemented Maintain record of status of issues raised implemented, outstanding, progress Internal audit regularly verify implementation through testing or discussion with management - e.g. quarterly Keep audit committee informed of status of recommendations Link regular formal reviews of the risk register to progress on implementing recommendations Sarbanes Oxley (If applicable e.g. to US owned groups) Not a Solvency II requirement SOX testing focuses on controls over inputs to financial statements not operational controls SOX testing therefore will not cover entire control environment as required by Solvency II Should not divert internal audit effort Internal audit may place reliance on SOX compliance work - if carried out independently of management
