Further to recent press speculation, the RSA Board confirms it will receive at its meeting on Wednesday 8th January the PwC report into the financial and regulatory reporting processes and controls within the Irish business and the Group oversight of these alongside further assurance reviews commissioned by the Board.

We remain confident in our view that the financial and claims irregularities identified in November 2013 were isolated to Ireland.

Furthermore, RSA confirms, as previously announced, the impact of claims and financial irregularities and the reserve review in Ireland at £72m and £128m respectively; totalling a combined £200m.

A press release with further details will be released at 7.00am on Thursday 9th January.
