According to the ordinance, after the commencement date only

• A public company ; or
• A body corporate incorporated under the laws of Pakistan (not being a private
company or the subsidiary of a private company);

4
 Registration of insurer:
According to the insurance ordinance 2000, no person shall after the commencement of
this Ordinance, begin or, after the expiry of six months from the commencement date,
continue, to carry on any insurance business in Pakistan, unless such eligible person has
obtained from the commission a certificate of registration to carry on insurance business
under this Ordinance, and that registration has not been revoked.

In compliance with the Code of Corporate Governance as incorporated in the Listing

Regulations of the stock exchange of Pakistan and Code of Corporate Governance
applicable to listed insurance companies as issued by the SECP, statement of Compliance
with the Code of Corporate Governance is presented.

Insurance Ordinance 2000 requires that every life insurance company shall register itself
with the commission in order to run its business in Pakistan. NJI life insurance Company
limited is complying with this rule of insurance ordinance 2000 and is registered with
SECP and is fulfilling all its requirements for being a registered insurance company.

Commission may register upon satisfaction:

Where an application for registration is received by the Communication, the Commission

may register the insurer as authorized to carry on life insurance business or authorized to
carry on non-life insurance business as the case may be, if the commission is satisfied
that:

a) The provisions of this ordinance relating to minimum paid-up share capital

requirements have been complied with,

b) The provisions of this ordinance relating to minimum solvency requirements have

been complied with,

c) The provisions of this ordinance relating to minimum statutory deposits have been

Company analysis shows the following result as per the compliance under the following
section.

• Paid up share capital of company is Rs.627 million

• In order to minimize the financial exposure arising from large claims, the
Company, in the normal course of business, enters into agreement with
other reinsurer. Reinsurance ceded does not relieve the company from its
obligations to policy holders and as a result the Company remains liable
for the portion of outstanding claims reinsured to the extent that reinsurer
fails to meet the obligation under the reinsurance agreements. In order to
manage this risk, the Company obtains reinsurance cover only from
companies with sound financial health

• The auditor of company is KPMG Taseer Hadi & Co.)

• Appointed actuary of company is Nauman A. Cheema. The Board ensures

that the appointed actuary complied with the requirements set out for him
in the code.

Directors have declared that New Jubilee Life Insurance Company Limited has at all

In our opinion:

a) The policyholder liabilities in the balance sheet of the New Jubilee Life Insurance
Company Limited have been determined in accordance with the provisions of the
Insurance Ordinance, 2000; and
b) Each statutory fund of the New Jubilee Life Insurance Company Limited
complies with the solvency requirements of the Insurance Ordinance, 2000.

So by the above information provided in the Annual report of the Company it is

concluded that New Jubilee Life Insurance Company Limited has complied with all the
requirements by the Commission such as solvency requirements, statutory deposits
requirements, reinsurance arrangements, appointment of auditor, appointment of actuary
and such other of the provisions of this Ordinance as are applicable to it.

So by considering all such facts Commission may have registered the New Jubilee Life
Insurance Company Limited as authorized to carry on life insurance business.

Books and records:

As we are seeing the compliance of NJI (LIFE) with insurance ordinance 2000, this is
considered to be an important section of the ordinance. It is required that every insurer
who is doing insurance business in Pakistan and who is incorporated in jurisdiction
outside Pakistan in respect of insurance business transacted by the insurer in Pakistan
shall maintain proper books and records.

NJI (LIFE) has complied with the above mentioned section of the ordinance as the
directors of the company are pleased to confirm that:

1. Proper books of accounts of the company have been maintained which present
fairly its state of affairs in financial terms

2. Accounting policies have been consistently applied in preparation of

financial statements and accounting estimates are based on reasonable and
prudent judgment

3. International accounting standards, as applicable in Pakistan, insurance

ordinance and rules have been followed in preparation of financial statements and
any departure there from has been adequately disclosed.

4. There are no significant doubts upon the company’s ability to continue as a going
concern as it is evident from its records.

7
 5. For audit of financial statements it is required to obtain an understanding of the
accounting and internal control system sufficient to plan the audit and develop an
effective audit approach and NJI (LIFE) has fully acted upon the above statement.

The auditors in their report also confirmed that the company as required has kept proper
books of accounts by the insurance ordinance 2000, and companies’ ordinance 1984.
The financial statements together with the notes thereon have been drawn up in
conformity with the insurance ordinance 2000 and the companies’ ordinance 1984 and
accurately reflect the books and records of the company and further in accordance with
accounting policies consistently applied.

Annual statutory accounts of NJI (LIFE) have been drawn in accordance with the
ordinance and the rules made there under.

SECP Investigation:
This section says that if the commission believes upon reasonable grounds that the
insurer is unable to meet its liabilities and there has been contravention of the provisions
of the ordinance, it may investigate the affairs of an insurer and employ an auditor or
actuary or both for assisting it in any such investigation.

After examining the annual reports of NJI (LIFE) deeply, we have come to the
conclusion that this company which was incorporated in Pakistan on 29th June 1995 as a
public limited company under the company’s ordinance 1984 has never contravened any
provisions of the ordinance due to which the Commission has to appoint an actuary or
auditor especially for the investigation purposes.

The company’s shares are quoted on the Karachi stock exchange and it started its
business on 20th June 1996 and the directors of the company had declared it as going
concern in 2007 and it is unable to meet its liabilities as auditors are satisfied with the
compliance of the company with insurance ordinance and actuary in his report said that
each statutory fund of the NJI (LIFE) complies with the solvency requirements of the
insurance ordinance, 2000.

Market conduct:
THE NJI (LIFE) has complied with the provisions of the ordinance regarding market
conduct.

The auditors in their report clearly stated that the apportionment of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses between two or more funds has been performed in accordance
with the advice of the appointed actuary.

complied with the statement of ethics and business practices adopted by the Board has

8
been signed by all the directors, executives and the employees of the company and it has
been fully complied with. The external auditors have also been given satisfactory rating.

Intermediaries (Agents and brokers):-

According to this section every insurer, shall so far as relates to a contract of insurance
entered into by the insurer through an agent be liable to the policyholders for the acts and
omissions of the agents.

established a shareholders’ fund and following statutory funds in respect of its each life
insurance business:-

1: INDIVIDUAL LIFE (unit linked)

All the business of the NJI (life) takes place through number of the agents. Actually there
is not a single agent for the insurance companies, but numbers of agents are employed
usually. The agents of NJI (LIFE) are qualified, licensed and skilled as well.

Directors of the NJI (life) said that based on our review nothing has come to our
attention, which causes us to believe that the statement of compliance does not
appropriately reflect the company’s compliance, in all material respects with the best
practices contained in the code of corporate governance as applicable to the company.
