Resources for insurers

The regulator provides resources for insurers covering licensing, reporting, and financial-strength ratings under the Insurance (Prudential Supervision) Act 2010. The document outlines general provisions for insurance declarations, exemptions, and the sign-off process for insurer data returns. It also lists approved financial strength-rating agencies, details cancelled insurance licences, and announces data template updates for NZ IFRS 17 and the Interim Solvency Standard.
