Verification log

Reconciled to the 23 insurers ARCA lists at 31 Dec 2024 (annual report 2024). All 6 rows matched; 5 composite rows corrected to General because ARCA lists each as a non-life company (the Code separates life and non-life; BICOR, EGIC, UCAR and SOCABU have separately licensed life sisters); 17 added (11 life, 6 non-life). No reinsurers or brokers are included.
