The Solvency II preparatory guidelines require undertakings to prepare a Forward Looking Assessments of Own Risk (FLAOR) based on the ORSA principles. While the FLAOR can be prepared on a “best efforts” basis, it is undoubtedly a useful first step towards full implementation of the ORSA.

We also discuss the steps that can be taken to build upon what has been achieved during the preparatory phase in order to meet the full requirements of the ORSA from 2016 onwards.
