The Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) is a periodic peer reivew of financial regulation for G20 countries.

it is benchmarked against IAIS ICPs (IAIS = International Association of Insurance Supervisers, ICPs = Insurance Core Principles)
the U.S. did well historically but may not do well going forward because SAP doesn't reflect the time value of money

IAIS is developing ComFrame (Common Framework) to supervise international insurance groups.

needs a standard method for valuing assets & liabilities
ComFrame proposes IFRS to meet this need
the U.S. method is different from IFRS ==> problem! (U.S. insurers may need to create 2 sets of financial statements.)

The Federal Insurance Office (FIO) was created by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform & Consumer Protection Act of 2010.
