Question: what is the bright line indicator test
- IF
- [1] the AA does not address material adverse deviation
- [2] 10% x (net L & LAE) > TAC – CAL
- THEN
- the financial analyst should pursue comments from the AA
- IF
Example:
- Suppose the AA did not address material adverse deviation and that:
- net L & LAE = 500
- TAC = 600
- ACL = 280
- Then:
- 10% x (net L & LAE) = 10% x 500 = 50 > 40 = (600 – 560) = (TAC – CAL) = (TAC – 2 x ACL)
- Therefore, the financial analyst should pursue comments from the AA regarding material adverse deviation.
