As 2024 draws to a close, Rob Chaplin invites colleagues to review a year of change throughout the insurance industry. In keeping with the spirit of a traditional holiday countdown, the team presents 12 topics that spanned the year.For more Skadden insights about Solvency II, click here for their updated guide, The Standard Formula: A Guide to Solvency II.

In this installment of The Standard Formula's series on Solvency II, host Robert Chaplin and Chiara Iorizzo unpack the regime's public reporting element. As Rob explains, public reporting “bolsters transparency and market discipline across the insurance industry.”Rob and Chiara cover requirements of the Solvency and Financial Condition Report (SFCR) and discuss some proposed changes to these reporting requirements. They also explore external audit requirements and review the role of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) in information disclosure.

Host Robert Chaplin and guest James Pickstock cover the Solvency II supervision framework, which is designed to protect policyholders and promote insurer soundness. They focus on the Regular Supervisory Report (RSR), a quantitative tool that is among four key areas that insurers must disclose to supervisors. Robert and James also look ahead to legislative reform effective at year's end.Watch for our next episode, which will focus on the Solvency and Financial Condition Report, another key area that must be reported to supervisors.

When U.K. insurers observe they cannot comply with requirements under Solvency II, there are detailed steps that one must take.Feargal Ryan, European counsel in Skadden's Financial Institutions Group, and host Rob Chaplin, head of the firm's Financial Institutions Group in Europe, break down insurers' obligations. They explain differences between the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) and Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR) and examine the Prudential Regulation Authority's (PRA's) requirements.

Amount B is designed to streamline transfer pricing for baseline distribution and marketing companies worldwide, but “we're apparently in a world of complexity and controversy,” says Jessie Coleman..A principal at KPMG, Jessie joins Skadden attorneys Nate Carden, David Farhat, Eman Cuyler and Stefane Victor to discuss everything there is to know about the current and future status of Amount B. Together, they explore questions of scoping – will jurisdictions agree that an entity is in-scope? – and who's signing on to Amount B, as well as tensions that may arise over how to handle disputes. For companies that would likely be in-scope when implementation launches, Jessie suggests they prepare by monitoring their assets-to-sales, which will drive where they fit in the Amount B matrix. “I think knowing the unknown right now is really important,” she observes.

Because strategically allocating assets and managing investments are key to an insurer's business, valuing assets and liabilities is an important area of focus.In this episode of “The Standard Formula,” host Rob Chaplin, head of Skadden's Financial Institutions Group in Europe, is joined by associate Olivier Peeters for a conversation about Solvency II's requirements for asset and liability valuation. Rob and Oliver cover the general principles and specific rules for some balance sheet items and explore recent trends regarding investments into illiquid, or alternative, assets.

Solvency II imposes numerous governance requirements on insurers. In this episode of “The Standard Formula” podcast, Skadden partner Sebastian Barling and Rob Chaplin, host and head of Skadden's Europe Financial Institutions Group, guide insurers through these complex requirements.They spotlight the Own Risk and Solvency Assessment, or ORSA, a cornerstone component of Solvency II that insurers must use to assess their risks and solvency needs. Sebastian and Rob also detail the Senior Managers and Certification Regime, or SMCR, which applies to insurers in the United Kingdom. The SMCR complements and enhances the governance requirements under Solvency II. They close with an overview of operational resilience and outsourcing requirements.

In our second episode in our spotlight series focused on celebrating diversity, GILTI Conscience's David Farhat and Stefane Victor are joined by colleagues Brian Breheny and Jordan Schwartz for an earnest dialogue on DEI in big law. The guests discuss some of the challenges they faced as gay professionals, including their experiences coming out at work and questions they faced, as well as their efforts to advocate for diversity in the workplace and embrace its importance.

“Insurers are expected to hold eligible owned funds in excess of the Solvency Capital Requirement. There are two main methods of calculating the SCR under Solvency II, the standard formula and internal model methods.”In this episode of “The Standard Formula” podcast, Rob Chaplin, host and head of Skadden's Europe Financial Institutions Group is joined by colleague George Belcher to discuss Solvency II's internal models (IM). Despite a higher cost of development, IMs offer numerous benefits, such as more accurate risk sensitivity, more flexibility and more available data. Rob and George also explore partial IMs, changes to existing models, the PRA approval process and implications of the U.K.'s move away from EU Solvency II standards.

“You want people to be themselves. You're going to get the most productivity, the most career longevity from somebody that's happy about being where they are,” says De Lon Harris. In celebration of Pride Month, Skadden tax senior advisor De Lon Harris joins Eman Cuyler and Stefane Victor on “GILTI Conscience,” where he discusses his life and career as a gay professional. De Lon talks about his 30-plus years at the IRS and the different roles he took on, as well as his experience as a gay person working in government service. He also touches on mentorship, including the importance of seeking diversity in mentors.

“The Solvency Capital Requirement, or SCR, is designed to protect policyholders by helping to make sure that insurers can survive difficult periods and pay claims as they fall due.”In this episode of "The Standard Formula" podcast, Rob Chaplin, host and head of Skadden's Europe Financial Institutions Group, is joined by colleague Will Adams as they take an in-depth look at the Solvency Capital Requirement, one of Solvency II's most important and complex provisions. The discussion covers the SCR's key features, risk modules, how it's calculated and its relationship with the Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR). They also discuss the standard formula (for an in-depth discussion of technical provisions, listen to the previous episode).

“Technical provisions are crucial, as they form the fundamental basis for assessing the financial stability of insurance and reinsurance plans.”In this episode of “The Standard Formula” podcast, Rob Chaplin, host and head of Skadden's Europe Financial Institutions Group, is joined by colleague Mary Bonsu. Rob and Mary delve into the complexities of technical provisions under Solvency II, shedding light on crucial elements such as best estimate of liabilities and risk margins. They discuss factors influencing these elements, such as financial guarantees, future management actions and risk-free interest rate term structures.The conversation also touches on methods to mitigate short-term volatility, and contrasts Solvency II with IFRS 17.

In September 2023, the U.K.'s Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) released its second consultation paper on reforms to the Solvency II regime for U.K. insurers. These reforms relate to the use of the Matching Adjustment, a mechanism that adjusts the discount rate that can be applied to the valuation of an insurer's insurance and reinsurance obligations. In this episode of the “The Standard Formula” podcast, host and Skadden partner Rob Chaplin is joined by colleague Theo Charalambous to discuss the intricacies of the U.K.'s Matching Adjustment regime for insurers, including the rationale behind it, which liabilities are eligible, existing conditions and how it's calculated. In case you missed it, be sure to listen to the last episode, which covered groups, and stay tuned as our next installment will focus on investment rules.

They also cover how own funds requirements operate at a group level, and conclude the discussion by considering the application of group supervision at group level under various scenarios.

In this episode of “The Standard Formula” podcast, which focuses on Solvency II developments, Skadden partner Rob Chaplin is joined by colleague Olivier Peeters to discuss the U.K.'s change in control regime for insurers and insurance brokers.Rob and Olivier delve into the concept of a “controller” as defined in the U.K. Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and the obligations that the U.K. regime imposes on controllers looking to acquire a regulated firm. More specifically, they discuss the controller application process required for regulatory approval before closing a transaction, the assessment of applications to determine whether the incoming controllers are fit to control the business of a regulated firm and the obligations of controllers. They also discuss a recently released consultation paper by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) proposing that the existing European Union guidelines on changing control approvals be replaced by U.K.-specific rules and guidance.

Skadden partner Rob Chaplin and his colleague Imad Mohammed Nazar focus on reinsurance and risk transfer under Solvency II.Reinsurance is a crucial aspect of the insurance industry and plays a significant role in mitigating risk. Under the Solvency II regime, insurers are subject to specific rules and regulations governing risk mitigation techniques.

While tax insurance can be used in a variety of contexts, from M&A deals to regular tax planning scenarios, it is also relevant when it comes to transfer pricing. Recent developments have expanded the scope of tax insurance to cover multiple years of transfer pricing in returns in M&A deals, and the potential of seeing more transfer pricing insurance in the future is a strong possibility.On this episode of the “GILTI Conscience” podcast, hosts Nate Carden and David Farhat are joined by Skadden's Eman Cuyler and Stefane Victor and Yoav Shans of McGill and Partners to discuss the ins and outs of tax insurance including how it relates to transfer pricing, how a claim is initiated and insuring a position.

This episode of The Standard Formula podcast discusses three emergent insurance resolution regimes that deal with the failure, or potential failure, of insurers. Lamya Al-Yazdi, a member of Skadden's London insurance team, joins Skadden partner Rob Chaplin to discuss the U.K. HM Treasury consultation on the insurer-specific recovery and resolution regime (IRR), the EU Insurance Resolution and Recovery Directive (IRRD) and the proposals outlined in the consultation paper by the Bermuda Monetary Authority.Starting with the U.K., Rob and Lamya review the four resolution objectives for the IRR. They also discuss the EU's proposed set of rules for handling insurance company failures. The rules will apply to EU insurance and reinsurance companies covered by Solvency II, EU insurance holding companies and EU mixed financial holding companies.Finally, they review proposals from the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA). The first proposal involves the implementation of recovery planning regulations to aid insurers in proactively addressing adverse scenarios, enabling them to make informed decisions and develop credible survival strategies for severe stress situations. The second proposal suggests that the Bermuda Monetary Authority could mandate insurers to undertake recovery planning measures.

In this episode of GILTI Conscience, Skadden's Nate Carden, David Farhat and Stefane Victor continue the podcast's spotlight series with tax associate Katy Stone, who discusses the impact tax-related pro bono work has had not only on the lives of other but also on her career.Katy describes how pro bono matters — which she was introduced to early — frequently have a deeply human element and providing tax assistance often has a tangible influence on people's lives. “I think there's relief from some of these taxpayers in getting someone to explain the world of tax to them and build confidence on a go-forward basis that they're going to be able to handle this differently into the future,” Katy says.They also discuss how new associates can become involved in pro bono opportunities and how the work can help them expand their skill-set beyond their main practice.

Welcome to Risky Business, a limited series in partnership with Trenchcoat Advisors, a risk advisory firm. In an unpredictable, complex, and chaotic world, the business risks are ever-present. To help navigate the challenges ahead, this series delves into the intersection of business and national security — from influence operations and sabotage to hostage diplomacy and investment security, we're brining exclusive conversations with leading experts to better understand and anticipate risk!In episode one, the Burn Bag's A'ndre Gonawela and Trenchcoat's Bill Priestap speak with Jessie Liu about her career in national security and the business risks surrounding data. Jesse takes us through a conversation focusing on how the U.S. Government thinks about data regulations, in addition to data protections for U.S. persons and businesses, including the role CFIUS (The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States) has to play. We also discuss public-private partnerships,  how the private sector works with government on data protection, and whether the Department of Justice and FBI are more reactive than proactive on this issue. The conversation concludes with Jesse's perspective on how her private practice role is contributing to the national security mission. Jessie is a partner in the Washington, D.C. office of Skadden, Arps, Slate Meagher & Flom LLP. From 2017-20, Jessie served as the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.

As part of its departure from the European Union (Brexit), the United Kingdom is moving away from key EU insurance prudential regulatory standards, including by liberalizing the EU Solvency II regime. These reforms can be seen as political as well as regulatory — and if you're an insurance professional, it is important to understand what these changes mean and how they may impact you. The Solvency II regime came into force in the UK in 2016. The government announced a review of the regime in June 2020, followed by a range of proposed amendments this year.The reformed regime — which will be called Solvency UK — is meant to boost innovation in the sector and assist the government's drive for investment.This is the first episode of “The Standard Formula,” a podcast from Skadden covering subjects of interest for UK and European insurance professionals in the Solvency II world.

For many low-income individuals,  filing taxes may be a daunting task, and many may even choose to avoid interacting with the IRS altogether due to negative experiences. However, not filing taxes may mean missing out on crucial refunds and benefits..  From low-income taxpayer clinics in communities to organizations and initiatives such as https://www.irs.gov/individuals/free-tax-return-preparation-for-qualifying-taxpayers (VITA), https://www.getyourrefund.org/en (GetYourRefund) and https://codeforamerica.org/ (Code For America), there are a multitude of pro bono opportunities for tax attorneys to get involved in to ensure taxpayers receive the benefits they deserve. According to Jaclyn Roeing, an attorney at Skadden who volunteers with https://www.communitytaxaiddc.org/ (Community Tax Aid) in Washington, D.C., “One of the key benefits of pro bono work is the opportunity to give back to your community and to use the skills you develop as a lawyer for clients that would otherwise not have representation at all, and that you might never get to engage with.”  Don't miss this Spotlight Series episode of GILTI Conscience as we sit down with Jaclyn to discuss how engaging in pro bono work as a tax attorney benefits both communities and attorneys, and how you can get involved.

The OECD transfer pricing guidelines include DEMPE — the development, enhancement, maintenance, protection and exploitation of intangibles — as part of their efforts to deal with the legal status of both IP and economic ownership. Originally, the regulations stated that only legal ownership existed; DEMPE was incorporated to accommodate contributions made by entities other than the legal owner.  But how dependable and comprehensive are the DEMPE guidelines?  In this episode of “GILTI Conscience,” Mike McDonald, an executive director in the National Tax Department at Ernst & Young, joins our hosts to discuss whether DEMPE is supportable and more efficient than a traditional review of functions, assets and risks.  Mike also shares his perspective on recent developments in transfer pricing. Mike and the “GILTI Conscience” team look at varying approaches to the accounting practice — while some professionals believe that “functions, functions, functions” is the only sustainable tactic, others contend that the arm's length guideline is backed by sufficient valuations to outperform the alternatives. Mike delves deeply into the arguments for the arm's length approach. “I always thought one of the strengths of the arm's length principle, if done properly, is its inherent neutrality compared to all alternatives,” he says.  What do these developments and perspectives tell us about the future of DEMPE and transfer pricing? And what patterns has an expert like Mike seen over the past two decades? Tune in to find out!

In this episode of the “GILTI Conscience” podcast, Roger Brown, global head of Tax Strategy at Chainalysis, joins our hosts Nate Carden and David Farhat to talk about the basics of blockchain. Roger explains what blockchain is, how tax rules apply to crypto and the field's potential benefits. Roger says that people regularly approach him with questions about blockchain and crypto — although the sector began forming many years ago, substantial uncertainty remains, especially regarding tax rules and policies. Roger therefore begins this overview with the basics. He notes that buzzwords like “bitcoin” and “blockchain” are commonly thrown around, but he emphasizes that they're only interconnected, not interchangeable. Bitcoin, which uses blockchain technology to secure transactions, is intended to be a peer-to-peer payment network, while blockchain is utilized for recordkeeping, tracking the movement of a digital asset (such as bitcoin) from virtual wallet to virtual wallet.   Roger also notes that the crypto space is more expansive and potentially beneficial than most people realize. “Crypto” refers to more than just payment applications. Technologies like Filecoin, a blockchain-based cooperative digital storage system, are focused on replacing business functions. Individuals and businesses alike can take advantage of such advances. But what important tax rules and policies should you understand before diving into this space? From a technical tax perspective, Roger says, the rules are nothing new. When you own cryptocurrency or any other digital asset, it's your property and, therefore, property rights still apply. If you're worried about taxation on cryptocurrencies as trading becomes more commonplace, Roger suggests investing in a partner company. These experts can help you understand how tax rules apply to crypto and ensure the IRS doesn't come knocking on your door for an audit.  

In this episode of the “GILTI Conscience” podcast, longtime Skadden tax partner Fred Goldberg joins our hosts Nate Carden and David Farhat to discuss his one-of-a-kind journey through the public and private tax sectors. Fred details the changes he's seen, his hopes for the future of the field and his advice for those looking to begin a career in tax law. As Fred notes, the tax system is the one set of regulations that every individual, family, business and nonprofit in the country must contend with each year. And for each, the challenge is the same: When you get your taxes right, everything is fine, but when you get them wrong, havoc ensues.  Many people who might consider a career in tax law are driven away by misconceptions about the work — e.g., a tax attorney can't be altruistic or give back to society. However, Fred believes tax is not just transactional — it's also relational: The field presents opportunities to collaborate, chase your passion and connect with others. The profession also needs a wide range of personalities and perspectives — you don't have to change yourself to fit some preconceived notion of an ideal tax attorney. A career in the tax field requires only creativity, listening skills and authenticity.  Fred hopes that mentorship, education and a willingness to shift perspectives can enable tax law to become more diverse and inclusive. He regularly shares the same advice with aspiring lawyers, young professionals already in the tax sector and people on the street: Tax law can make for an outstanding career.

This week's guest is Tom Carpenter, a principal at the public relations firm Bospar who has more than 20 years of business, marketing and tech PR experience. Tom is known as “the crisis communications expert” and is skilled at advising tech companies in highly sensitive situations. But he began his career conducting PR for one of the world's leading law firms, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP. Tom brought lessons he learned and skills he honed to the tech world from a buttoned-up corporate environment where knowing when to keep mum and being prepared about how and when to respond was vital. He discusses the importance of transparency, when to be reactive, when to craft a “holding response” instead of issuing an immediate announcement, and when to lie low. This episode was recorded at the start of the war in Ukraine, so Tom also touches on companies being tactful about their messages during global crises, his agency's COVID-related work, how Bospar responded to the Texas abortion ban, and the importance of addressing other social justice concerns. He explains how companies can prepare themselves for the worst-case scenario and how PR professionals can keep the media from blowing something up and making it out to be worse than it is.

In this episode of the GILTI Conscience podcast, Loren Ponds, Member at Miller & Chevalier in Washington, D.C., joins our hosts to share an overview of the tax legislative process. She discusses the outlook for current tax bills moving through the house and how changes and feedback are incorporated. Over the past two decades, most of the major tax legislation has gone through a reconciliation process where the bills start in the house. The review procedure includes a scoring process to ensure the bill will not increase the deficit before it can be passed.  Feedback also plays an important role in shaping the final version of a tax bill. Bills can be improved by inviting taxpayers to share the real-world implications of a change. In addition, asking the advisor taxpayer community to share critical feedback, with a clearly defined scope can be very helpful.  Predicting all of the fact patterns that might apply to a certain bill is impossible, but collecting feedback can help anticipate more of them, making a bill more comprehensive before it is passed.  Tax bills are gaining in popularity and controversy thanks to increased coverage from the media. This means more attention is given to how politicians approach tax legislation. This attention often focuses on how both sides of the aisle collaborate on tax policies that are easier to agree on, such as international tax provisions.   So how does this affect current legislation and how will Congress review the Build Back Better Act amongst the many pressing issues on their agenda?  Episode guest Loren explains, “There are a lot of other things that are on Congress's agenda besides tax. That said, the Build Back Better Act has some spending provisions that are a very high priority to the current administration.”

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) make business sense for every professional community. For the tax practice, where creativity is essential, diversity elevates the practice, benefitting everyone from clients to the government and practitioners themselves. The tax community, however, lacks DEI for a host of reasons. At the heart of the problem is the ubiquity of whiteness and a pervasive insensitivity to otherness, whereby "others" must learn to navigate whiteness to survive. Maleness and whiteness often are used as synonyms for competence, which leaves women, people of color and LGBTQ+ attorneys constantly feeling compelled to prove themselves. These issues widen the inequality gap in the tax practice and further a discriminatory system. Such a system places undue pressure on diverse attorneys to succeed, not only for themselves but also to keep the gate open for those who follow. This burden makes the already-challenging practice of tax law even harder. How can you contribute to changing this reality and promoting diversity in the tax community?  In this episode of the GILTI Conscience podcast, Skadden partners David Farhat and Nate Carden kick start The Spotlight Series by talking with associates Eman Cuyler and Stefane Victor about both the challenges to and opportunities for promoting diversity within the tax law community. https://www.skadden.com/insights/podcasts/2022/02/spotlight-series-the-importance-of-diversity-equity-inclusion-in-tax-law (Click here for the full show notes, transcript, and video.) 

Understanding the 2022 OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines and how it applies to guarantees and other financial transactions is essential for multinationals trying to manage intercompany lending and get their transfer pricing right. Granted, these companies have to fund themselves, whether through intercompany debt or guaranteed loans. They have to move money across borders, but how they do that, how the rules apply in different tax jurisdictions, and how everyone gets their appropriate piece of the pie can become very complicated. Profound transfer pricing questions tend to arise when deciding which credit rating applies to a subsidiary of a multinational because that can make a big difference on interest rates and tax implications. Another concern is that if a subsidiary has to get the stand-alone treatment because of the arm's length principle, what is the value of implicit support? Dealing with these issues opens a can of worms that questions the core of transfer pricing as we know it. For one, why should implicit support be a borrower-only analysis when a lender can also be a part of a group? Since implicit support applies to 'important subsidiaries,' are there non-important subsidiaries? The new guidelines attempt to address some of these issues related to the arm's length standard for cross-border transactions between associated enterprises. However, these guidelines don't apply equally across different jurisdictions. For instance, which rules should multinationals that have operations in the U.S consider, and in what scenarios do the new OECD guidelines come into effect?  In this episode of The GILTI Conscience podcast, hosts, Skadden Partners David Farhat and Nate Carden, Associate Eman Cuyler, and Clerk Stefane Victor sit down with Abraham (Bram) Isgur, Principal at Keystone Strategy. They discuss transfer pricing for cross-border intercompany loans and guarantees, the OECD guidelines, the controversies to expect and prepare for, ideas for engaging with tax authorities, and more.

The team at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is always happy to debate multinational tax issues. And with the way things have been changing in the last two years, it's never been a better time to hit "record" on those conversations, and share them with fellow self-proclaimed tax nerds and those just getting started in the field. “Five years ago, we had a radically different international tax system from what we have today, which may change again significantly in the next year or two," says Skadden partner Nate Carden. “You have to constantly be thinking, How do the planning  I'm doing and the structures I'm creating align with my business objectives? Are they nimble enough to deal with tax rules that may evolve faster than my business?” Two major factors created this dynamic moment: COVID-19 prompted multinationals to rethink their tax strategies. And in the nearly two years since the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed the pandemic, governments that poured money into enormous public funding initiatives are looking for ways to make back some of those expenses through taxes. Meanwhile, the public and lawmakers are paying more attention than ever to how multinationals are being taxed and using tax laws. In this introductory episode of GILTI Conscience, you'll meet your hosts: Skadden partners David Farhat and Nate Carden, associate Eman Cuyler, and clerk Stefane Victor, who is about to be admitted to the D.C. bar. Learn their backgrounds, specific areas of focus, and why they chose tax law.
