Description

The Superintendent of Insurance supervises and regulates provincially incorporated insurance companies and reciprocal insurance exchanges in Alberta. This includes insurance companies or reciprocal insurance exchanges either formed under the Alberta Insurance Act or who have transferred to Alberta such that Alberta is their primary regulator. The Superintendent determines whether they are in sound financial condition and are complying with the legislative requirements and supervisory expectations. To accomplish this, the Superintendent uses a risk‐based supervisory framework to identify imprudent or unsafe business practices within the insurance industry and intervenes on a timely basis, as required. This document describes the principles, concepts and core process used in this supervisory framework.
