June 2022
On 16 June, APRA released for consultation its proposed changes to six general insurance reporting standards that incorporate APRA’s clarification of the treatment of reinsurance recoverables from the Australian Reinsurance Pool Corporation (ARPC).
The proposed changes align the general insurance reporting framework with APRA’s clarification that reinsurance recoverables are not subject to a capital charge. APRA therefore proposes including the ARPC in the definition of an “APRA authorised reinsurer".
Written submissions on the proposal should be sent to DataConsultations@apra.gov.au by 30 June 2022.
The letter to industry, and marked-up and clean versions of the reporting standards are available on the APRA below:

It is APRA's policy to publish all submissions on the APRA website unless the respondent specifically tells APRA in writing that all or part of the submission is to remain confidential.
