Court-ready reports
A report that will be read by an opposing expert, an auditor or a regulator has to show its work. A court-ready report states each figure, its source and its version, and can be reproduced on demand.
Who this is for
Actuaries, claims counsel, litigation managers and expert witnesses
Your job is to put a number in front of someone whose task is to test it. That reader asks where each figure came from, whether it would come out the same today, and who stands behind it. The report has to answer those questions on the page.
What the report contains
Every figure in the report states what it measures, the population it was read against, its horizon, its date, the model and record versions and its status. The report sets out the basis for each band, the comparable matters behind it and the inputs that were stated by the requester and not read from the record.
A schedule lists every matter read, with its figures, so the report can be checked line by line.
Who signs it
Each report carries a reviewer sign-off area and a methodology summary so the relying institution can record its own review. The report itself states what was read and how, and carries an audit trail identifier.
How it is reproduced
Reproduction means the same file returns the same number. Because each report fixes the model version and the record date, a reader can ask for the report to be regenerated from the same inputs and compare the two. A difference points to a named change in the record, not to variance in the method.
When a ruling or filing changes the record, a new report is issued and the earlier one is kept next to it, so the history of a figure is part of the file.
How to read this
A court-ready report states a measured range and the basis for it. It supports the reader’s own analysis and testimony, and it is reissued when the record changes.
