2 Lloyd s Broker Accreditation Broker Procedure Manual Structure

3 Lloyd s Broker Accreditation Broker Procedure Manual Structure Following any applicable visits to Xchanging sites which should demonstrate the nature of the checks carried out by the Xchanging processing areas and the requirements of any Broker documentation, a Procedure Manual must be produced to demonstrate a clear understanding of the procedures that need to be put in place by a broker in order to successfully process via Xchanging with Lloyd s Syndicates. This Procedure Manual should be roughly 10 pages of A4 in length and the following areas must be addressed as part of the documentation produced: General Overall process flow showing controls in place at all Xchanging touchpoints. Query Handling: Who will respond to Xchanging queries and by what method? Documentation delivery: How will documents be delivered to Xchanging s office and returned to the broker once processing is complete? Premiums Details of differing documentation requirements for each class of business, including that to be issued to the clients. Claims Details of claims broking/handling procedures. Details of claims diary system including archiving and destruction procedures. Knowledge of Lloyd s 1999 Claims Scheme demonstrated. Business Scenario documentation must also be attached as appendices to this Procedure Manual. Brokers may use their own data to produce an LMP slip, LPAN and LCCF for each of the main classes of business in which they are involved. Xchanging will have the slips validated to ensure they are LMP compliant and will check LPAN and LCCF documentation to ensure the details reflect the slip and are adequate for processing. These examples must be successfully completed before Xchanging provide a formal sign-off to Lloyd s regarding a broker s processing capabilities. Brokers can obtain Business Case Skeletons from Xchanging from which they can produce these examples if preferred and should contact Vicky Hopkin on or at vicky.hopkin@xchanging.com for further details.
