Technical Reinsurance Accounts

Programme Highlights

Reinsurance may be a relatively simple concept to grasp. However, at the operational level, some of its practices, especially on technical accounts, can be quite complex and difficult to comprehend. This is at least to the uninitiated, or those still new to reinsurance. Through lectures, exercises and discussions during this 2-day programme, participants will acquire detailed technical and practical knowledge of how the technical accounts for Proportional and Non-Proportional Reinsurance Treaties and Facultative are prepared and processed.
