The total of outstanding claims of $1,105 million (2010: $1,131 million) includes a forecast of unreported claims of $319 million (2010: $341 million) on open and closed policy years and an estimate of $30 million (2010: $30 million) for future claims management costs. Claims outstanding includes provision for IBNR claims which is set by reference to, amongst other factors, standard actuarial techniques and projections. The IBNR reserve includes an amount for Occupational Disease claims amounting to $50 million (2010: $50 million). Occupational Disease claims have a significant latency period making them particularly uncertain for reserving purposes. The reserve has been set with reference to industry studies and the Association’s historical experience. These studies include a projection of the number of deaths expected, the probability of claims being made and the expected cost of those claims.


Other reinsurance includes the recovery of $110 million relating to a multi year reinsurance policy.
