Transition and New Member Provisions<br />

To facilitate the adaptation of member institutions to the new system a<br />

transitional scoring mechanism was built into the system, to operate <strong>for</strong> the<br />

first two years.<br />

In the first year of the transition period, the total quantitative score of each<br />

member institution was adjusted upward by 20%. In the second year, the<br />

total quantitative score of each member institution was adjusted upward by<br />

10%. In the third year and thereafter, there were no such adjustments.<br />

Any adjustment, however, could not result in the member institution’s total<br />

quantitative score exceeding 60. For example, if a member institution’s preadjusted<br />

quantitative score was 55 in the first year, its adjusted score would<br />

be 60, not 66.<br />

For members with a limited history, the differential premium system was<br />

designed so that member institutions which do not have sufficient operating<br />

history <strong>for</strong> those measures requiring numerous years of data, are given a<br />

score based on the average of their other quantitative scores.<br />

Review Purpose<br />

Given the significance of differential premium rates <strong>for</strong> member institutions,<br />

any institution not satisfied with its assigned premium category has the<br />

opportunity to request a review of its scoring by CDIC.<br />

Member institutions wishing to have their scores reviewed are required to<br />

submit requests in writing to CDIC. As part of the premium-setting process,<br />

CDIC will be involved in gathering or receiving in<strong>for</strong>mation and making<br />

determinations and calculations as to each institution’s score. There is an<br />

annual cut-off date <strong>for</strong> the determination of relevant in<strong>for</strong>mation, and if<br />

in<strong>for</strong>mation obtained in advance of that date is revised between then and the<br />

cut-off date, the revised in<strong>for</strong>mation will be used.<br />

Filing Requirements<br />

Members are required to file, by April 30 of each year, the requested<br />

quantitative in<strong>for</strong>mation based on the latest available audited financial<br />

statements. If member institutions do not have audited financial statements<br />
