ORSA modelling

ASTRA’s scenario calculation tool enables users to efficiently support both commercial decision making and the ORSA process. ASTRA provides easy identification and interrogation of the key drivers of the SCR helping risk teams to focus on making informed, risk-based decisions.

ASTRA’s scenario tool allows users to assess the impact of change in key business plan inputs on the overall SCR, including:

Premium growth across lines of business and regions
Change in the size and distribution of claims reserves
Alternative investment strategy
Counterparty rating adjustments

ASTRA includes a SCR comparison tool which allows users to easily compare inputs, outputs, and calculations between different ASTRA models.

Reporting support

The Pillar 3 reporting requirements under Solvency II have created a significant challenge for firms. ASTRA supports organisations by automatically populating the SCR-specific QRT templates. This eliminates the need for re-entering data or re-linking and minimises the potential for operational error.

ASTRA includes functionality to support the production of QRTs in an XBRL format. It is also designed to efficiently support audits, as input and output workbooks can be easily exported and shared with auditors.
