This Insurance Core Principle andits standards and guidance deal with off-site monitoring and on-siteinspections (collectively referred to as “supervisory review”) and the reporting to the supervisor by theinsurer as required for the supervisory process. It should be noted that certain aspects of supervisory review and reporting are dealt with in other ICPs with respect to those ICPs’ specific areas of focus.
9.0.2
In applying this principle and these standards, it should be taken into account that, in some jurisdictions, responsibility is shared between more than one authority. Where this is the case, not all elements of the standards and guidance are necessarily applicable in full to each authority, although they apply in full to the jurisdiction as a whole. Relevant authorities within a jurisdiction should cooperate with each other in the application of this ICP to ensure an understanding of all risks that might be relevant to supervisory review and reporting. This is particularly important where prudential and conduct of business supervision is allocated to separate supervisors, taking into consideration that the intensity and focus of supervision may be different, even when within the same authority.[1]

9.0.3
This ICP and these standards apply to the supervision of insurers at the legal entity and the Insurance group level, including branches.[2] In applying this ICP, its standards and guidance material, the supervisor takes into account the nature, scale and complexity of the insurer, and confidentiality requirements[3].
