'The issue is how far can underwriters change anything on the screen once a policy is live because if they can change anything that's a nightmare in accounting terms as well as in other terms. So we've agreed with Keith and Jenny what needs to be done just to protect the accounting fields. There is the wider issue of do they want to restrict the way that endorsements are done because that is the correct way to organise yourselves. ... Neville is supposed to be producing some overall rules for how X organises it's multinational work, some kind of rules or X business procedures by the end of March, brackets I don't believe it brackets, I've not seen a draft and I don't know by whom the work is being done. That may also have an impact on the requirements.X075 page 003.05d (tape 02.1.02d) Colin Notes/Tape 17/02/95Now there are other issues on the underwriting side like having the individual location of the insurance which Jenny is keen on but Jane I think is still saying no. Good old Jane. Although I suspect in reality that just means not yet and that she can probably have it in June so that I then have to add location insurance into the requirement which will add about a month onto the timescales as I've already warned them. And that's one of the issues I shall raise at the steering group next week. That it's hard to have an accounting requirement held in place from now until November when the underwriting requirement is changing all the time. And Neville will be at the steering group meeting so I shall certainly ask the question of him and I suspect he'll say something wishy-washy like we all need to work as one big team and as long as we know these requirements far enough in advance..Anyway, all good fun.'
