In order to assist our member companies with their statistical reporting tasks, NISS has created a Statistical Reporting Guide. This guide was developed primarily for companies or individuals new to statistical reporting. It is also a helpful reference for those experienced with statistical reporting.
The Statistical Reporting Guide is accessible through the link and is organized in a "Q & A" format by categories of tasks, starting with understanding why companies do statistical reporting, defining what "Calls" are and working through preparing and submitting Calls. This guide also details tools and references available to help prepare and monitor various submissions.

Glossary of Insurance Terms
NISS Glossary of Insurance Terms
The NISS Glossary of Insurance Terms provides a list of commonly used words and definitions in the insurance statistical reporting industry. Our list is a work in progress, as new terms are always being added over time.
Please keep in mind that the NISS Glossary of Insurance Terms was developed with insurance statistical reporting in mind, and certain words may be defined differently in a different context.
NISS Glossary of Insurance Organizations
The NISS Glossary of Insurance Organizations is a small list of organizations (including their acronyms) that are related to either the insurance industry in general or specifically to statistical reporting.
Glossary of Insurance and Risk Management Terms
NISS has also included a link to the Glossary of Insurance and Risk Management Terms for companies to reference for any insurance terms, including those not specifically related to statistical reporting.
The Glossary of Insurance and Risk Management Terms was first published by IRMI in 1978 to help those within and outside the insurance industry to communicate effectively. It has been continuously updated and expanded since the original publication and, with definitions of more than 3,100 risk and insurance terms, is probably the most comprehensive and up to date property and casualty insurance glossary or dictionary.
Also be sure to check out the insurance acronyms and abbreviations where nearly 1,000 insurance abbreviations are defined.
