Automated Reinsurance Reporting Compliance: Data Extraction Across Treaties — Property & Homeowners, Specialty & Marine, and Auto

Compliance Officers at insurers and reinsurers live at the intersection of contract nuance, regulatory expectations, and unforgiving reporting calendars. Reinsurance treaties, bordereaux, and quarterly/annual statements are dense, inconsistent, and often amended mid-year. Small transcription errors ripple into big problems: misstated ceded premium, delayed cash settlements, missed reinstatement invoices, or even loss of credit for reinsurance. This article explores how Nomad Data’s Doc Chat helps Compliance Officers standardize and automate these obligations across Property & Homeowners, Specialty Lines & Marine, and Auto portfolios—turning reporting friction into a scalable, defensible process.

Doc Chat by Nomad Data is a suite of purpose‑built, AI‑powered agents that read entire treaty programs and their supporting documentation, extract critical provisions, reconcile them against premium, claim, and exposure bordereaux, and generate audit-ready outputs on demand. With Doc Chat for Insurance, compliance teams can ask, “What is the hours clause for US windstorm in these treaties?” or “Calculate ceded LAE under the facultative endorsements in Q2,” and receive instant answers with page‑level citations—no more marathon manual reviews, no more spreadsheet drift.

Why Reinsurance Reporting Is Hard: The Compliance Officer’s Reality

In reinsurance, the rules for what gets reported—and when—are primarily governed by the treaties themselves. For Property & Homeowners, treaties may include catastrophe excess of loss layers with 72‑hour and 168‑hour hours clauses, occurrence definitions that differ by peril, and reinstatement provisions that change at each attachment. Specialty Lines & Marine introduce voyage versus time policies, cargo exposure roll‑ups, sanctions exclusions, and hull & machinery deductibles. Auto programs layer quota share and surplus share, with PIP/MedPay, UM/UIM, and no‑fault state nuances that affect bordereau fields. Each program has its own expectations for bordereaux (premium, claim, and exposure), statements of account (SOAs), cash call mechanisms, and documentation for recoverables and commutations.

Complicating matters, Compliance Officers must ensure treaty compliance intersects cleanly with regulatory requirements. In the U.S., Schedule F (credit for reinsurance), risk-based capital considerations, and trust/LOC documentation timelines must be maintained. In the Lloyd’s/London market, bordereaux must reflect evolving Core Data Record (CDR) fields, Market Reform Contract (MRC) endorsements, and DXC/Lloyd’s delegated data requirements. Across geographies, granular data—territory codes, peril codes, CRESTA zones, SOV attributes, occupancy and construction details, claim cause of loss, policy effective/expiration dates—must reconcile precisely to treaty definitions to avoid disputes or delayed recoveries.

How the Process Is Handled Manually Today

Most organizations still rely on painstaking manual workflows managed by Compliance Officers, Reinsurance Operations, and Accounting. The flow is linear, fragile, and slow:

Collect treaty documents: slip/MRC, master treaty wording, addenda, endorsements, cover notes, renewal binders, and broker communications.
Interpret contract language: occurrence definitions, inuring cover, hours clause, exclusions (e.g., communicable disease, cyber), territorial scope, event coding, reinstatement premium calculations, sliding scale and profit commission terms, and taxes/assessments.
Assemble bordereaux: premium bordereau (written/earned/ceded), claim bordereau (paid/outstanding/IBNR/LAE), exposure bordereau (sum insured, limits, deductibles), catastrophe aggregates, and roll‑forward reconciliations.
Map to templates: reinsurer‑specific spreadsheets or portals, broker formats, cedent/reinsurer retro formats, and internal SOA templates.
Reconcile and validate: match treaty terms to data fields, handle exceptions (endorsements mid‑term, retroactive dates, line changes), and fix missing data.
Submit and defend: send to brokers/reinsurers/retrocessionaires, answer queries, and manage cash calls and true‑ups.

Every step is time‑consuming and error‑prone. Vital terms often live deep in appendices or subsequent endorsements. Different parties request different bordereaux fields. Auto state programs may require additional PIP/MedPay breakdowns; Marine cargo needs voyage segmentation; Property & Homeowners needs catastrophe coding and aggregates. When a Compliance Officer is juggling multiple treaties and reporting deadlines, the risk of transcription errors, omitted claims, or misstated reinstatements increases materially.

Where Errors Happen—and Why They Matter

Small oversights can have outsize impact on both compliance and financial results:

Misapplied occurrence definitions: A Property & Homeowners wind event mis‑grouped under the hours clause can lead to incorrect event aggregation, misstated recoveries, and disputes with reinsurers.
Reinstatement premiums: Failure to calculate and bill reinstatements on time creates cashflow gaps and contractual non‑compliance.
Sliding scale or profit commission: In Auto quota share deals, missing expense categories or incorrect loss ratio calculations can swing settlements and invite audits.
Endorsements and exclusions: Specialty & Marine communicable disease, war, or cyber exclusions applied inconsistently across bordereaux undermine accuracy.
Schedule F alignment: Inaccurate ceded balances or late confirmations jeopardize credit for reinsurance and regulatory reporting.
Bordereau mismatches: Reinsurer‑specific templates often require different field definitions than internal systems, forcing manual rework and potential misclassification.

These errors cause missed deadlines, rejected bordereaux, reserve volatility, cash call disputes, and increased audit scrutiny—problems that land squarely on the Compliance Officer’s desk.

Reinsurance Reporting Compliance Automation with Doc Chat

Nomad Data’s Doc Chat eliminates the heavy manual lift by ingesting entire treaty programs—master wording, endorsements, addenda, broker notes—and every supporting document: premium and claim bordereaux, statements of account, catastrophe aggregate reports, loss run reports, FNOL summaries, and ISO claim reports when relevant. The system applies your company’s playbooks, compliance rules, and data dictionaries to consistently interpret, extract, and standardize the outputs needed for each reinsurer, broker, and regulator, even when those requirements change mid‑year.

Doc Chat is designed for the messy reality of reinsurance documents. As described in Nomad’s perspective on advanced document intelligence, this is not “web scraping for PDFs.” It’s inference across thousands of pages, fragmented rules, and evolving formats—precisely the challenge outlined in Beyond Extraction: Why Document Scraping Isn’t Just Web Scraping for PDFs. Doc Chat reasons through exclusions, endorsements, trigger language, and calculation logic to produce answers, summaries, and structured data you can trust.

AI to extract data from reinsurance treaties

Doc Chat reads treaty wording end‑to‑end and extracts the elements Compliance Officers rely on:

Program structure: layers, limits, retentions, inuring reinsurance, and participation percentages.
Trigger and definitions: occurrence/event, hours clause by peril, and aggregation rules.
Financial mechanics: reinstatement terms and pricing, ceding commission (fixed or sliding scale), profit commission, corridor deductibles, swing‑rated adjustments, taxes/assessments, and brokerage.
Scope and geography: perils covered, territorial definitions, sanctions, and special acceptances/exclusions (e.g., cyber, communicable disease).
Reporting and settlement: bordereau frequency, line‑level fields required, settlement schedules, cash call thresholds, audit rights, and documentation requirements.

The output is a contract profile that becomes the source of truth for downstream reporting logic across Property & Homeowners, Specialty & Marine, and Auto.

Automated bordereaux reporting insurance

With treaty logic captured, Doc Chat maps premium, claim, and exposure data into reinsurer‑specific templates—automatically. Whether your Auto program needs state‑level BI/PD/PIP splits, your Marine cargo treaty demands voyage‑based exposure, or your Property aggregate requires CRESTA coding and catastrophe aggregation, Doc Chat transforms heterogeneous internal outputs into each recipient’s preferred bordereau format, complete with calculations and validations. When endorsements arrive mid‑term, the system updates the logic and re‑runs the affected periods and events, keeping your submissions accurate and current.

Reinsurance reporting compliance automation—answers you can defend

Compliance Officers need auditability, not just speed. Doc Chat provides page‑level citations to treaty language and endorsements for every calculation and policy decision. Ask natural‑language questions like, “What is the applicable occurrence definition for earthquake in the Specialty Lines & Marine treaty MRC‑2024‑H&M‑01?” or “List Q3 reinstatement invoices by layer with calculation detail,” and Doc Chat returns the answer plus links to the exact source pages for verification. This explainability aligns with audit, regulatory, and reinsurer expectations for transparent documentation trails.

How Doc Chat Works Across Your Reinsurance Workflow

Doc Chat is built to handle real‑world scale and complexity.

Ingest and classify: Treaties, MRC slips, endorsements, bordereaux (premium/claim/exposure), catastrophe aggregate reports, SOAs, cash calls, commutation agreements, cover notes, LOC/trust documentation, even email attachments from brokers.
Extract and interpret: Trigger language, aggregation rules, calculation clauses, exclusions, event definitions, and settlement schedules.
Map and normalize: Align internal data fields (from PAS, claim systems, data warehouses) to reinsurer‑specific bordereau definitions; normalize codes (peril, cause of loss, territory) per treaty requirements.
Validate and reconcile: Tie premium and claim transactions to treaty logic; reconcile roll‑forwards; verify reinstatement math; ensure profit/sliding scale inputs match definitions; identify missing documentation (e.g., adjuster reports for large losses).
Generate outputs: Populate reinsurer/broker templates, SOAs, cash call packages, catastrophe event summaries, Schedule F support, and internal compliance dashboards.
Cite and retain: Maintain citations to exact pages and paragraphs, store calculation proofs, and create audit logs of who approved what and when.

Behind the scenes, Doc Chat scales from single treaties to entire books, ingesting thousands of pages per minute, as highlighted in Nomad’s experiences with high‑volume document processing.

The Business Impact for Compliance Officers

Automating reinsurance reporting with Doc Chat generates measurable value across cycle times, costs, and risk control:

Time savings: Treaty reviews that took days compress to minutes; monthly and quarterly bordereaux build with one‑click refresh when endorsements or data corrections land; cash call packages assemble automatically with structured proofs.
Cost reduction: Fewer manual touchpoints, less overtime at quarter‑end, reduced spend on external consultants for complicated reconciliations, and faster close processes that ease pressure on Finance and Reinsurance Accounting.
Accuracy and defendability: Consistent application of occurrence and aggregation rules, correct reinstatement calculations, and reliable profit/sliding scale computations—each with page‑level citations to eliminate ambiguity with reinsurers and auditors.
Compliance confidence: On‑time bordereaux submissions, precise Schedule F support, and complete documentation trails for regulators, reinsurers, and internal audit.
Scalability: Surge volumes (catastrophe events in Property & Homeowners, peak season Auto submissions, or marine portfolio roll‑ups) are handled without adding headcount.

These gains mirror the broader outcomes Nomad customers report in adjacent workflows—faster processing, higher consistency, and improved employee morale—discussed in the piece AI’s Untapped Goldmine: Automating Data Entry.

Line‑of‑Business Examples: Property & Homeowners, Specialty & Marine, and Auto

Property & Homeowners: Catastrophe Programs, Hours Clauses, and Aggregation

Property cat treaties commonly include event and aggregation specifics that are easy to misapply under pressure. Doc Chat interprets layer structures (e.g., 1 xs 4 lines), inuring reinsurance, occurrence definitions by peril (windstorm vs. earthquake), and hours clause windows (72‑hour for wind, 168‑hour for quake) to guide catastrophe event coding and aggregation. It extracts exclusions (e.g., communicable disease), sublimits, and franchise deductibles that impact event groupings and recoveries. When a major event hits, Compliance Officers can ask Doc Chat to list all impacted policies and claims in the CRESTA zones specified by the treaty, re‑aggregate losses per the hours clause, and generate a catastrophe claim bordereau with correct attachment and participation—complete with reinstatement calculations for upper layers.

Specialty Lines & Marine: Voyage vs. Time Policies, Sanctions, and Cargo Specifics

Marine treaties require voyage‑level exposure and sanction screening rigor. Doc Chat pulls voyage dates, cargo classes, hull & machinery terms, and navigational limits from underwriting documents and uses that logic to validate exposure bordereaux. It identifies sanction exclusions and special acceptances, ensuring claims fall within covered voyages and perils. The system compiles claim bordereaux with cause-of-loss coding that aligns to marine treaty definitions (e.g., General Average, salvage, stranding), and it prepares SOAs that respect taxes, brokerage, and other fees as defined in the MRC and subsequent endorsements.

Auto: Quota Share Mechanics, State Nuances, and Sliding Scale Commission

Auto reinsurance programs often combine quota share and surplus share arrangements with state‑specific requirements and PIP/MedPay or UM/UIM nuances. Doc Chat extracts ceding commission terms (fixed vs. sliding scale), corridor deductibles, and profit commission language; then constructs the inputs for loss ratio calculations by state, peril, and coverage type. It validates that premium and claim bordereaux align with deductible structures and required splits (BI, PD, PIP/MedPay). When a sliding scale triggers, Doc Chat calculates the commission true‑up by period and produces the proofs your reinsurer expects—eliminating back‑and‑forth and quarter‑end surprises.

What Makes Doc Chat Different for Reinsurance Compliance

Many tools extract fields; few understand how treaty clauses drive reporting and settlement. Doc Chat pairs scale with inference—applying your compliance playbooks to your actual documents and data so extraction, calculations, and reporting reflect how your team operates. This is the core of “The Nomad Process”: we train the system on your playbooks, your templates, and your standards so you get a personalized solution, not a generic one. As the Reimagining Claims Processing Through AI Transformation article highlights in a related context, the result is speed plus explainability, with humans staying in the loop to make final determinations.

Doc Chat also supports Real‑Time Q&A. Compliance Officers can interrogate entire treaty stacks and reporting packages: “Show all endorsements that modify event aggregation,” “Which treaties require exposure bordereau fields that we’re currently missing?” or “List Schedule F documentation gaps for ceded balances over $5M.” The answers arrive instantly with citations, across thousands of pages, so your team can resolve issues before the submission deadline—not after.

Controls, Security, and Auditability Built In

Reinsurance reporting carries high stakes: regulatory filings, external audits, reinsurer disputes, and commutation negotiations. Doc Chat’s explainability is designed for this environment. Every output is tied back to specific treaty paragraphs or endorsement pages. For each calculation—reinstatements, profit commissions, sliding scales—the system retains the inputs, formulas, and proofs. These controls, combined with enterprise‑grade security (including SOC 2 Type 2 practices), give compliance teams defensible artifacts for reinsurers, regulators, and internal audit. Nomad’s client experiences show that page‑level citations increase trust and accelerate adoption, as discussed in GAIG’s case study.

Implementation: White‑Glove, Fast, and Tailored to Your Calendars

Nomad Data’s white‑glove implementation meets compliance teams where they work. In a typical 1–2‑week timeline, we:

Collect representative treaties (current and prior), endorsements, and bordereaux and identify your key reporting recipients and templates.
Encode your compliance playbooks: business rules, exception handling, and reconciliation requirements (by LoB and by treaty).
Stand up secure ingestion (SFTP, SharePoint, API) and build out transformations into reinsurer/broker templates and your internal SOA formats.
Validate on historical quarters to prove accuracy, then go live with this quarter’s submissions.

The process is collaborative and iterative; you keep control of the rules, and we operationalize them. As treaty programs evolve, Doc Chat updates instantly—no ticket queue, no waiting for the next release. This partnership model embodies Nomad’s positioning: you are not just buying software; you are gaining a strategic partner who evolves with your needs.

Sample Compliance Questions Doc Chat Answers in Seconds

Compliance Officers in Property & Homeowners, Specialty & Marine, and Auto can ask Doc Chat natural‑language prompts across entire treaty programs and reporting periods:

“List all occurrence definitions by peril across 2024 Property treaties and flag differences.”
“For the Auto Q2 quota share, calculate sliding scale commission with supporting loss ratio inputs by state.”
“Identify Specialty & Marine sanction exclusions and confirm none of our Q3 cargo claims conflict.”
“Show which treaties require exposure bordereau with CRESTA and which accept postal code granularity.”
“Generate the reinstatement premium schedule for the Property CAT layers hit by Event 2024‑WIND‑07.”
“Detect any missing documentation for Schedule F credit related to ceded balances over $2M.”
“Create an SOA package with cash call detail and attach the citation pages for each calculation.”

These capabilities align directly with high‑intent needs like “Reinsurance reporting compliance automation,” “AI to extract data from reinsurance treaties,” and “Automated bordereaux reporting insurance,” translating search intent into practical, day‑one value for Compliance Officers.

Integration with Your Core Systems

Doc Chat connects to policy administration, claims, and accounting systems (e.g., Guidewire PolicyCenter/ClaimCenter, Duck Creek, Sapiens, and common ERPs) to pull premium, claim, and exposure data. It then harmonizes those fields to treaty logic and recipient templates. For organizations early in their journey, a drag‑and‑drop interface enables immediate value without deep integration; as adoption grows, API-level connections automate end‑to‑end workflows. This phased approach mirrors what Nomad has demonstrated across complex claims contexts: quick wins that scale into systemic transformation.

Risk Management Beyond Reporting

Because Doc Chat reads everything, it also surfaces operational risks that typically hide in the details:

Conflicting endorsements that change event definitions mid‑term.
Exclusions that inadvertently eliminate recoveries for key perils in specific territories.
Reinstatement or profit commission mechanics that materially affect recoveries and cashflow.
Documentation gaps (e.g., missing adjuster reports for large losses) likely to trigger challenges from reinsurers or auditors.

The system proactively flags these issues, guides remediation, and documents the resolution path. That’s how Compliance Officers move from reactive reporting to proactive governance.

Case Pattern: From Month‑End Fire Drill to Predictable Compliance

Consider a Property & Homeowners program hit by multiple severe convective storms. Historically, Compliance Officers might spend days reconciling event windows under hours clauses, attributing claims to the correct events, and preparing catastrophe bordereaux with attachment logic and reinstatement invoices. With Doc Chat, event definitions are applied consistently, losses are rolled by CRESTA/territory, and reinstatement calculations run automatically. The team turns around a defendable package in hours, not weeks—freeing time for higher‑value tasks like treaty optimization and risk analytics.

In Auto quota share programs, quarterly sliding scale commission reconciliations that once required multi‑tab spreadsheets and manual reference to endorsements now run in seconds. Doc Chat produces the calculation workbook, inputs, and citations, minimizing iterations with brokers and reinsurers. Specialty & Marine teams see similar gains, with voyage and sanction complexity managed up front, ensuring clean claim bordereaux and accelerating settlements.

Measuring ROI for Compliance Automation

Doc Chat’s impact shows up in three places: cycle time, quality, and cost. Reinsurance treaty review, bordereau production, and SOA/cash call assembly shrink from days to minutes. Accuracy increases because the system never tires and always applies the latest rules. Costs drop as costly manual rework disappears and quarter‑end crunches stabilize. These outcomes mirror broader efficiency findings Nomad customers report—significant time savings and quality improvements when document intelligence takes on the heavy reading and normalization work—outlined in The End of Medical File Review Bottlenecks.
