Introduction (partial) "The Insurance Core Principles (ICPs) provide a globally accepted framework for the supervision of the insurance sector. The ICP material is presented according to a hierarchy of supervisory material. The ICP statements are the highest level in the hierarchy and prescribe the essential elements that must be present in the supervisory regime in order to promote a financially sound insurance sector and provide an adequate level of policyholder protection. Standards are the next level in the hierarchy and are linked to specific ICP statements. Standards set out key high level requirements that are fundamental to the implementation of the ICP statement and should be met for a Supervisory authority to demonstrate observance with the particular ICP. Guidance material is the lowest level in the hierarchy and typically supports the ICP statement and/or standards. Guidance material provides detail on how to implement an ICP statement or standard. Guidance material does not prescribe new requirements but describes what is meant by the ICP statement or standard and, where possible, provides examples of ways to implement the requirements."
