7. StatBook is an Excel file with a tab for each Jurisdiction, and captures at least 6 years of information that is mostly available on a company’s NAIC Annual Statement (show 1 state, next slide)
(go back to this slide)
The most recent year of benchmark statistics for each jurisdiction is shown on the “Summary Stats” tab (left most tab) along with the accounting Basis and end date of the data shown.
Several changes were made to the StatBook this year, mostly involving cleanup of information, correcting formulas, formatting, removing graph information that was taking up space, etc. This “Summary Stats” page had no formatting (8 decimal places), broken macros, incorrect links, etc. It’s a little cleaner now.
This summary page alone can be used for several different types of comparative analyses among jurisdictions.

8. Here is all the Data collected by Jurisdiction
Here is all the Data collected by Jurisdiction. Most of it is readily available on an NAIC Annual Statement, but for those jurisdictions that do not report to NAIC, a lot of the information is commonly needed for any annual report.
At the bottom of each tab is a group of 11 benchmark statistics that are calculated based on the data input by the jurisdiction
We did some cleanup on the Jurisdiction pages, removed extra years, bold indications a formula, revised the contact area, etc.
