Maintain Group Risk Mid Term Accounting v1.1 has now been published. This Standard is used to facilitate the mid-term data reconciliation between insurers, EBCs and employers in the Group Risk market. 

This builds on v1.0 of this Standard, delivered back in February 2020, to support the integration and automation of tracking changes to the scheme dynamic across the guarantee term, radically reducing the cost and human error incurred when manually collating that information.   

Maintain Group Risk Mid Term Accounting v1.1 now includes an implemented change request that has brought the postcode validation regular expression in both XSD and JSON schema in line with each other, ensuring consistency between data marked up in either XSD or JSON. Previously, the Mid Term Accounting XML schema had more rigorous validation for postcode than the OpenAPI and JSON Mid Term Accounting schemas. However, to create a backward-compatible change, Criterion relaxed the XSD validation to allow the same scope as the JSON schema.
