The comparability assessment project is an initiative that will ascertain whether the Aggregation Method (AM), being developed by the United States and other interested jurisdictions, provides comparable outcomes to the ICS. If deemed comparable, the AM will be considered an outcome equivalent approach for implementation of the ICS as a prescribed capital requirement. The IAIS aims to be in a position by the end of the five-year monitoring period to assess whether the AM provides comparable (ie substantially the same) outcomes to the ICS.
