Reinsurance Accounting Analyst · cash calls · for assumed reinsurance claims and finance teams

Every cash call checked against its contract before anyone pays it.

The Reinsurance Accounting Analyst reads each cash call as it arrives by email or drag and drop, assesses it against the contract on file, and shows your reviewer every figure with its source. Approved calls are filed against their contract, so next month you can see what each layer has paid and what is left.

Discrepancy, share applied. The contract share is 1.37% (slip, signed lines, p.3). The cash call applies 13.00%. At 1.37% the amount due would be USD 43,418.46, USD 368,581.54 less than requested.

Checked before anyone pays

Approved calls are filed against their contract and the version they were assessed against, so paid-to-date and limit remaining stay current. The payment request itself stays in your system.

The problem

The hidden cost in a cash call queue

01

The share is checked by eye

A 13% applied where the signed line is 1.37% is a nine-figure difference on a large loss, and it is caught only if the reviewer remembers the contract.

02

The contract lives in a filing cabinet or a PDF

Long-tail books still receive cash calls on contracts a decade old. Finding the slip to check a layer or an attachment point takes longer than the review.

03

The arithmetic is retyped

Paid less retention, amount due at 100%, our share, reinstatement premium, net payment: five figures re-keyed into a list, with no check that they add up.

04

Nothing accumulates

Once a cash call is paid it is gone. Paid to date on a layer, limit remaining, which cedant keeps sending the wrong share: finance answers these by hand, if at all.

How it works

Send it. Assess it. Approve and file it.

STEP 01 · SEND

Forward it or drop it in

Forward the cash call to a Brisc address, or drop the PDF or email on the screen. Attachments stay together as one cash call.

STEP 02 · ASSESS

Extract, match, check

Every field is extracted with its source. The cash call is matched to the contract on file by policy reference, UMR or broker risk reference, then cedant and period, and checked: our share, share applied, parties, date of loss, layer, currency, underwriting year, contract status and ten arithmetic checks.

STEP 03 · FILE

Review, approve, file

The reviewer sees the assessment first, then every field with its source. Correct a value and the assessment re-runs. Approve, reject with a reason, or archive. Approving a discrepancy asks for a note.

AssessmentWhat it means
Looks correctContract found, and every check that ran agrees.
DiscrepancyContract found, and at least one check differs. A Brisc insight sets out what the contract says, what the cash call says, the difference and the likely cause.
No contract foundNothing on file matches. The references tried are listed.
Could not fully assessContract found, but a field a check needs is missing. The missing fields are named.

The assessment is advisory. Brisc flags; your team decides. Every figure in an insight comes from a check, never from a model.

What the reviewer sees

Every figure, with the page it came from

The queue, with an assessment on every row

Cedant, loss, contract, amount at our share, due date and the assessment. Filter by assessment, or search by cedant or reference.

The insight on a discrepancy

“The contract share is 1.37% (slip, signed lines, p.3). The cash call applies 13.00%. At 1.37% the amount due would be USD 43,418.46, USD 368,581.54 less than requested.” One click copies it for your email back to the broker.

Every field with its source

Seven tabs of extracted fields, each value with the excerpt it came from. Unconfirmed extracted values are marked.

The contract on file, read-only

The terms the cash call was assessed against, with the version and the date they last changed. Nobody trusts an assessment against terms they cannot see.

The ledger

By contract: calls, approved to date at 100% and at our share, limit remaining and last call. Also by loss across layers, by cedant and broker with discrepancy rate, by period and currency, and an exceptions view. Export any view to Excel, and mark calls paid with a date and reference.

Brisc sets up your contracts

Today Brisc enters the contract terms for you. Send the slip and endorsements, and we record the reference and UMR, the reinsured and broker, year and period, type and layer, currency, limit and attachment, and your share. Once a contract is on file, every cash call on it is assessed against it.

Uploading and editing contracts yourself is on the roadmap. The payment request process stays exactly where it is: Brisc sits in front of it.

Working on the inbound side? The same Analyst handles cession statements, classifying cedant statements into your ledger’s entry codes.

FAQ

What reinsurers ask us first

Does Brisc pay the cash call?

No. The payment request stays in your own system and your own approval process. Brisc checks the cash call against the contract and files it once your reviewer approves it. Approval in Brisc means checked, and you are content.

Where do the contracts come from?

Today Brisc enters them for you. Send the slip and endorsements, and we record the terms each cash call is checked against. Uploading and editing contracts yourself is on the roadmap.

What happens when the contract is not on file?

The cash call is marked No contract found, and the references Brisc tried are listed. Nothing is guessed. Once the contract is entered, the cash call is assessed against it.

Does Brisc email the broker about a discrepancy?

No. Brisc writes up the difference, and a Copy button puts it on your clipboard for your own email. Brisc never sends it.

See it on your own cash calls
