LEI for Insurance Companies in Australia is used in relevant ASIC reporting workflows to identify insurers and counterparties. LEI information is also relevant when insurers enter reportable derivative transactions under the ASIC Derivative Transaction Rules (Reporting) 2024.
Where Insurers Meet the LEI in Australia
- In prudential asset templates that identify issuers and counterparties by LEI.
- In ALM derivative trades reported under the ASIC Derivative Transaction Rules (Reporting) 2024.
- In counterparty onboarding.
Why It Matters
