CHAPTER I
Capital requirements22]
12 Capital requirements

(6) An insurer must give effect to the scheme — (a) in the case of a scheme submitted by virtue of a requirement made under section 12C(1)(a), within 3 months from the date of submission of the scheme; and (b) subject to subsection (6A), in the case of a scheme submitted by virtue of a requirement made under section 12D(a), within 6 months from the date of its submission.34 (6A) The Authority may extend the period mentioned in subsection (6)(b) to 9 months where the Authority thinks fit.35 (6B) The insurer must submit reports to the Authority in relation to the implementation of any proposals set out in the scheme at such intervals as the Authority may require.36 (6C) The Authority may give directions to the insurer in relation to the time — (a) within which modifications to a scheme must be proposed by the insurer under subsection (3); and (b) for the implementation of a scheme,

Insurance Act 2008 Section 14 c AT 16 of 2008 Page 15 and it is the duty of the insurer to comply with a direction under this subsection.37 (7) If an authorised insurer is unable or fails to submit a scheme which is acceptable to the Authority or fails to give effect to that scheme in accordance with directions given under subsection (6C)(b) — (a) in the case of a scheme submitted under this section by virtue of a requirement made under section 12C(1)(a), the insurer is deemed to be unable to pay its debts for the purposes of section 162 or 307 of the Companies Act 1931 (as the context requires) and the Authority may apply to wind up the insurer under paragraph 4 of
Schedule 3; and
(b) in the case of a scheme submitted under this section by virtue of a requirement made under section 12D(a) the Authority may withdraw the insurer’s authorisation in accordance with
section 10.38]
14 Accounts
[1986/24/12]
(1) Unless regulations made in accordance with subsection (2) provide for an alternative system of accounting, the provisions of the Partnership Act 1909, the Companies Acts 1931 to 2004, the Limited Liability Companies Act 1996 and the Companies Act 2006 relating to accounts shall have effect in their application to authorised insurers subject to this Act and to regulations made under this Act. (2) Regulations may provide for authorised insurers to be subject to a system of accounting that shall be adopted in place of that provided for in subsection (1) and for this purpose may require compliance with standards or the adoption of practices recommended by a body specified in the regulations, and may in particular require compliance with standards or the adoption of practices recommended by that body from time to time (that is, after as well as before the making of the regulations). (3) A copy of the audited annual accounts of every authorised insurer shall be produced to the Authority within 21 days after the date of the meeting at which the accounts were approved by the board of directors and in any event within 6 months after the close of the year to which they relate or at any other such time or times as the Authority may require. 39 (4) Such statements, reports, certificates and information as may be required by regulations made under this Act, or required by any other enactment to be annexed or attached to the annual accounts for any purpose shall be produced to the Authority at the same time as the annual accounts are submitted.40

(2) No statutory or other duty to which an auditor may be subject is contravened by reason of the auditor communicating in good faith to the Authority, whether or not in response to a request made by the Authority, any information or opinion under subsection (1). (3) This section applies only to any matter of which the auditor becomes aware in the capacity of auditor and which relates to the business or affairs of the person who appointed the auditor.44

PART 4A — GROUP SUPERVISION65
21A Interpretation
In this Part, unless the context otherwise requires — “college of supervisors” means a structure for cooperation and coordination among competent authorities; “competent authority” means a regulatory authority that is empowered by law to supervise insurers;

Section 21 Insurance Act 2008
Page 20 AT 16 of 2008 c
“designated insurer” means an insurer designated by the Authority under
section 21C(6) in respect of an insurance group;
“equivalent jurisdiction” means a jurisdiction that has supervisory standards that the Authority determines to be equivalent to those established by or under this Act; “group actuary” means an individual appointed under section 21I; “group supervisor” in relation to an insurance group, means the Authority or, as the case may be, another competent authority that is the group supervisor for the insurance group.66 21B Insurance group (interpretation) (1) For the purposes of this Part an “insurance group” means 2 or more undertakings consisting of an authorised insurer and ― (a) any other undertaking ― (i) which is the holding company or a subsidiary of the insurer; (ii) which is a subsidiary of that holding company; or (iii) in which that holding company, the insurer or any subsidiary of the insurer or the holding company is entitled to exercise, or control the exercise of, 20 per cent or more of the voting power at a general meeting; or (b) any undertaking other than one mentioned in paragraph (a) which has the power to exercise or actually exercises a dominant influence or control over the authorised insurer. (2) For the purposes of this Part “undertaking” means any of the following ― (a) a body corporate; (b) a partnership; (c) an unincorporated association; or (d) a trust, and references to any undertaking mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (d) include a comparable undertaking incorporated in, formed or established under the law of a country or territory outside the Island.67 21C Group Supervisor (1) The Authority may, in respect of an insurance group, determine whether it is appropriate for it to be the group supervisor of that group. (2) Before making such a determination the Authority must take into account the matters set out in subsection (3). (3) Those matters are —

Insurance Act 2008 Section 21 c AT 16 of 2008 Page 21 (a) whether the insurance group is headed by an authorised insurer; (b) where the insurance group is not headed by an authorised insurer whether the insurance group is headed by a holding company which is incorporated in the Island; (c) where the insurance group is headed by a holding company which is not incorporated in the Island, whether the Authority is satisfied that — (i) the insurance group is directed and managed from the Island; or (ii) the insurer in the insurance group with the largest balance sheet total is an authorised insurer; (d) whether the principal activity of the group is the carrying on of insurance business; (e) any other matter which may be prescribed. (4) The Authority may determine, notwithstanding any other consideration, that it is not appropriate for it to be the group supervisor of an insurance group where the insurance business carried on does not involve liability to third parties. (5) The Authority must give notice in writing to the proposed designated insurer of the Authority’s intention to make such a determination and must take into account any written representation made by the proposed designated insurer within such period as the Authority may specify in the notice. (6) If the Authority makes a determination under subsection (1) that it is appropriate for it to be the group supervisor in respect of an insurance group, the Authority must designate an authorised insurer who is a member of the insurance group to be the designated insurer in respect of that insurance group for the purposes of this Part. (7) The Authority must notify the designated insurer for an insurance group and other competent authorities in writing that the Authority is the group supervisor for that insurance group. (8) The Authority must establish and maintain a register containing the prescribed particulars in respect of every insurance group of which it is the group supervisor. (9) The designated insurer for an insurance group must immediately notify the Authority of any change of the particulars entered in the register in respect of that insurance group.68 21D Excluding undertakings from group supervision (1) The Authority may, on its own initiative or on the application of the relevant designated insurer, exclude from group supervision any
