Abstract:
As insurance markets harden and capacity contracts, many organizations are considering setting up a captive insurer as a way of managing part of their risk. In Australia, the regulatory environment for most captives is almost the same as for noncaptive insurers. Captives without third party beneficiaries are exempted from the regulatory requirements although still subject to other legislation.Keywords: Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA)
