Internal Shake-up For Nrma Insurance
Illawarra Mercury
Saturday June 30, 2001
Insurance giant NRMA Insurance Group Ltd (NIGL) has undergone an internal shake-up in a move which should help provide greater protection for policyholders.
NIGL said the restructure was in line with insurance industry watchdog the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority's proposals.
It follows the $4 billion collapse of HIH Insurance Ltd.
APRA, which has been criticised for failing to probe into HIH's problems when it became aware of them before its collapse, in March released its latest batch of proposals to reform the prudential supervision framework for general insurers.
APRA's proposals called for more consistent and rigorous valuation of insurance liabilities, which should be supported by external advice, and urged insurance companies adopt methods to ensure reinsurance arrangements were suitable to the scale and business mix of each company.
NRMA yesterday said it had adopted an internal restructure, which was consistent with APRA's March discussion paper outlining the proposals.
``NRMA ... today announced that it had implemented an internal reorganisation to create a group structure which has greater reporting and financial efficiencies," NIGL said in a statement.
As part of the restructure, all shares in NRMA Life Ltd, NRMA Insurance International Pty Ltd and NRMA Group Finance Pty Ltd had been transferred to NIGL by its wholly-owned subsidiary NRMA Insurance Ltd, it said.
