CMP Upgrade 2013/14
CMP Upgrade
This CMP Upgrade lists all significant changes to the Core Reading and the ActEd
material since last year so that you can manually amend your 2013 study material to
make it suitable for study for the 2014 exams. It includes replacement pages and
additional pages where appropriate. Alternatively, you can buy a full replacement set of
up-to-date Course Notes at a significantly reduced price if you have previously bought
the full price Course Notes in this subject. Please see our 2014 Student Brochure for
more details.
The IAA Practice Note has been replaced by a new version, the IAA Note.
The content of the note is unchanged, but the new version has been reformatted and the
ActEd notes now reflect the new page references.
The old version can still be used. The new version can be downloaded from:

The following additional required reading has been added from the IAA Note:
Under Pillar 2 of Solvency II, each insurance company will be required to carry
out an Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA).
Own Risk and Solvency Assessments have also been introduced in other
jurisdictions, including the USA.

The following reading from the IAA Note (previously optional reading) is now required
reading:
Chapter 9
The phrase conduct risk is sometimes used to encompass those risks that relate
directly to the relationship between a company and its customers. It can
therefore encompass elements such as operational failures (eg poor control of
distribution and/or servicing), information asymmetries, keeping pace with
regulatory requirements and customer needs, market conditions, product
development activities and strategic objectives.
Chapter 28
The following term has been added to the list of principal terms:
The Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA) is part of the proposed
Solvency II framework, with similar versions having been introduced in other
jurisdictions, including the USA. The ORSA requires each insurer to identify all
the risks to which it is exposed, to identify the risk management processes and
controls in place, and to quantify its ongoing ability to continue to meet its
solvency capital requirements.
Chapter 3
References to the FSA have been updated throughout the CMP to reflect the change in
UK regulators:
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulates the financial services industry in the
UK. Their aim is to protect consumers, ensure the industry remains stable and promote
healthy competition between financial services providers.
The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) is a part of the Bank of England and is
responsible for the prudential regulation and supervision of banks, building societies,
credit unions, insurers and major investment firms. It sets standards and supervises
financial institutions at the level of the individual firm.
