PRESS RELEASE

Phinsys implements its accounting and finance automation platform for Ascot Underwriting to transform Syndicate Finance function London – 15 06 2020. Phinsys, the leading finance automation software provider for the insurance sector announced that Ascot Underwriting, the Lloyd’s platform of Ascot Group, (“Ascot”) has completed the implementation of the Phinsys suite of finance and accounting products to streamline its Syndicate financial processes.

Ascot’s Syndicate 1414 chose a solution comprising Phinsys’ Tandem, Rapport and Postbox products which are designed to improve the way a Syndicate’s finance team operates. Now, Phinsys are working with Ascot Bermuda to complete a similar project for their finance team.

Steve Bardell, COO of Ascot Underwriting, said: “Ascot has invested in a number of digital capabilities over the last couple of years, including a number of Phinsys’ products. The Future at Lloyd’s initiative has reinforced the need for digital transformation to improve efficiency and drive down costs across the market. Phinsys solutions, combined with their unique expertise and experience in the insurance industry, has supported the delivery of our Digital Strategy and, specifically, enhanced our Syndicate’s finance operation, the benefits of which, we now plan to transfer to the other entities in the Ascot Group.”

Phinsys software enables insurers to conform data from multiple disparate legacy systems into a single, scalable finance data warehouse and automatically reconcile and post accounting entries to their general ledger. The accuracy and transparency of accounting processes such as expense allocations, IBNR calculations and the planning and forecasting of results are also improved, together with automated regulatory and management reports that enable insurance businesses to better understand where to invest their time and money.

Stuart Conibear, CCO of Phinsys, commented: “Our recent work in the Lloyd’s Lab revealed the extent of the challenge faced by all Lloyd’s syndicates in dealing with high operating costs and legacy systems that hamper future growth and profitability. Ascot are now benefiting from automating previously manual and time-consuming processes through the use of our proven technology solutions.”
