By module
Reinsurance — treaty & facultative
The reinsurance module underpins both the reinsurer (assumed) and the insurer/broker (ceded) sides — structured contracts whose maths derives from the terms.
Best use case
Contracts
- Proportional treaties — quota share (flat cession %) and surplus (retention line + surplus lines, per subclass), with premium following the sum-insured split.
- Non-proportional treaties — excess-of-loss / stop-loss layers (attachment, limit, reinstatements) with layer-loss and reinstatement-premium calculation.
- Facultative — single-risk, proportional or XoL, with a rated acceptance.
Cessions, recoveries & retrocession
Cessionsrecord what's ceded outward (auto-drafted on policy/treaty bind, split correctly per the treaty type); recoveries collect from reinsurers on losses; retrocessionprotects a reinsurer's own book (auto-drafted when an inward treaty binds). Confirming any of these posts the corresponding premium/recovery to the one ledger.
Technical accounting
Treaty movements (premium, commission, claims, tax) are technical-accounting entries that mirror into the general ledger, and roll up into treaty statements and the profit-commission statement. Booking codes tie each contract to Credit Control.
