Example: Acknowledgment of Actuals

Enriches actuals by applying matching logic to determine date information missing earlier in the life cycle, and also determines the regime for every cashflow item.

The matching of actuals to estimates can be carried out in the following ways:

  • If the CF calculation is “01”, the system matches the actual to the estimate based on the business date of the actual. This means, Settled Date for settled transactions, Due Date for due transactions and Reported Date for reported actuals.

  • If the CF calculation is “02”, the system matches the actual to the estimates based only on the Secondary Risk Incurred Date. This is used in L&H business where the missing dates in the actuals are predetermined by a reverse life cycle conversion based on models.

In this example the CF calculation is “01”and the dates for an actual (Cf Indicator = 03) are enriched starting from a pattern of estimates (Cf Indicator = 01). The tables below contain the most important values and parameters.

CF_CALC
01 Used for P&C
02 Used for L&H
CF_INDICATOR
01 Estimate
02 Reported Actual
03 Due Business Transaction
04 Settled Business Transaction
REGIME
01 Follow Actuals
02 Reflect Actuals
03 Follow Estimates
04 Estimated Future
