S.26.16 - Internal model - Model Changes

General comments:

This section relates to the annual submission of information for groups.

The purpose of this template is to collect information on the characteristics of the changes to the model according to the approved model change policy and on how the SCR has moved in an annual reporting period due to these changes, that were implemented in that period. This period may be different from the one determined by the model change policy on the accumulation of minor changes, for instance.

Minor changes to the model should not be double counted within or across reporting periods. Therefore, if a major change includes minor changes or is the accumulation of minor changes, then either:

  • remove the impact of these minor changes in the major change if the minor changes were implemented in a previous reporting period; or
  • include them in the “total minor changes” and remove their effect from the major change due to accumulation of minor change impact.
ITEM INSTRUCTIONS
Type of Change
C0010 Major The information in this row should refer to a major
change (in a given reporting period). While several
major changes may be batched together for a single
approval, they should be separated where there are
distinct major changes. Naming convention: Major
change 1_Component 1.
Change ID
C0020 Change ID This change ID should be consistent between the solo
and the group submission. It is used to match the solo
changes that correspond to the group change for the
reporting period.

change (major changes only). Specified date given by
the NCAs in the approval letter of the major change
application from which the approved model can be
used to calculate the SCR.

Amount of Total SCR (full model run, if necessary,
including the standard formula part for partial internal
models and diversification benefit) value after the

reporting period.
Threshold
for
accumulation
Threshold for accumulation as specified in the model
change policy. This amount may have no similarity to
the field “Total modelled SCR change %”, since the
threshold might be based on summing absolute
changes or other criteria.
Reset
Reason for reset
State whether one reset of the accumulation of minor
changes has occurred in the reporting period:
-
Internal model minor changes reset occurred in
the reporting period
-
Internal model minor changes reset did not
occur in the reporting period.
Briefly, state the justification why a reset of the
accumulation of minor changes has occurred in the
