CedeOS

For Reinsurers

Every Bordereaux You Accept Has Errors. Your Team Cannot Check 47,000 Rows.

CedeOS validates every inbound bordereaux against your treaty terms — before it touches your books. Catch cession rate errors, excluded risks, aggregate breaches, and overpayment exposure across your entire cedant portfolio. Automatically.

Your Inward Portfolio

You assume risk based on data you cannot verify.

Every quarter, your cedants submit bordereaux containing systematic errors that pass every manual spot-check. You discover them at commutation — or never.

01

47,000 rows. 14 cedants. One actuary.

Your cedants submit bordereaux in different formats every quarter. Column headers change. Takaful and conventional arrive unseparated. Your inward team spot-checks totals against treaty limits — they cannot check every row against the 80-page treaty they underwrote. You accept figures that contain systematic errors and book them as accurate.

47,000 rows per quarter · 14 cedants · 80-page treaty per programme

02

You are paying claims on risks you never agreed to assume.

A policy excluded under the treaty was included in the bordereaux. A cession rate does not match the treaty schedule. A risk class coded incorrectly means you're assuming motor at the property rate. You discover this 12-18 months later. The cedant cannot reconstruct the original data.

Overpayment exposure: proportional to 2.5% average GWP flowing unchecked

03

The dispute costs more than the money.

A debit note issued 9 months after acceptance does not recover money. It damages trust. The cedant cannot explain the discrepancy because the analyst who prepared the submission has left. The renewal conversation is no longer about growth — it's about the last debit note.

The Advantage

For the first time, validate BEFORE you accept.

Every reinsurer in Africa and Asia currently books inbound bordereaux on trust. CedeOS gives you the infrastructure to verify treaty compliance at the point of receipt.

Pre-Acceptance Validation

Every inbound row validated against YOUR treaty before booking. Errors caught at intake — not at commutation.

Cedant Data Quality Scoring

Track submission quality by cedant over time. Know which relationships consistently submit clean data — and which carry chronic error patterns.

Claims Validation

Before paying a claim, verify the underlying policy was correctly ceded under the treaty. If it wasn't in scope, you shouldn't be paying.

Zero Debit Notes

When errors are caught at intake, the debit note is never issued. The relationship is preserved. The renewal conversation stays on growth.

Projected Outcome

What a validated inward book looks like.

Zero

Incorrectly ceded policies accepted into your book

< 3 hrs

Inbound portfolio validation

100%

Row-level treaty compliance verified across all cedants

Zero

Debit notes issued post-acceptance

Manual baseline from reinsurer operations across African markets. Industry leakage benchmark: 2.5% of GWP flowing through unchecked inward portfolios. Pilot validation in progress.

Who Benefits

Every function at the reinsurer gains visibility.

Chief Actuary (Inward)

Every bordereaux validated before it enters the accounts. Zero unverified rows.

CFO

No overpayment on incorrectly ceded risk. IFRS 17 inward CSM from validated figures.

Claims Director

Claims paid only on correctly ceded business. Treaty scope verified at claim stage.

Head of Treaty

Treaty terms enforced automatically. Every clause applied at intake, not quarterly.

Relationship Manager

Zero disputes = clean renewal conversation. No debit note history on the relationship.

CTO

14 cedant formats normalised automatically. No manual format conversion on inward data.

The Ecosystem Effect

When you validate, your cedants improve.

Every validation report CedeOS generates can be shared with the submitting cedant — showing exactly which rows failed, which treaty clauses were violated, and what the correct figures should be. Cedants who submit to a CedeOS-validated reinsurer learn to submit accurately. Data quality improves quarter over quarter.

1

First quarter

You catch errors before booking

2

Second quarter

Cedants correct recurring patterns

3

Third quarter

Submission quality improves measurably

4

By year-end

Your inward portfolio has the cleanest bordereaux data in the market

You become the reinsurer that cedants want to submit to — because your validation process is transparent, fair, and makes them better.
