• Key issues identified in modified regulations
• Prior to the Insurance Ordinance, 2000 the concept of Accounting Regulations alongwith the prescribed format of financial statements was also given in Insurance Act, 1938. The Accounting Regulations were basic and the formats of financial statements were not keeping pace with the changes happening in the world with respect to the International Accounting standards.
• The Insurance Ordinance, 2000 brought about number of changes for the insurance industry and there under the new Accounting Regulations & formats of financial statements were introduced in 2002. The accounting regulations both for life and non life segments were detailed enough to address all aspects of the insurance transactions. The financial statements formats were also largely brought in line with International Accounting Standards.
• Some of the major changes included method of premium income, recognition of IBNR claims, creation of separate statutory funds for life business, introduction of premium deficiency etc. This was considered a major change at that time.
Developments in respect of Accounting regulation for Insurance companies
4
• With the passage of almost 10 years now there have been further developments in the International Accounting Standards relating to insurance.
• In 2004, the first Insurance specific IFRS-4 was issued and SECP made this applicable for insurance companies from period commencing from 1 January 2009. IFRS -4 did not change the existing accounting practices in any substantive way. It catered more of disclosure requirements than recognition and measurement.
• Recently the IASB has issued exposure draft of IFRS-4 as part of its phase II for developing insurance specific standard. This is expected to change significantly the recognition and measurement requirements of insurance industry.

Presentation of insurance liabilities
One of the major changes in the modified accounting
regulations for life insurers relates to the classification of
insurance liabilities:
1.Balance of statutory funds
Previously, retained earnings accounts A to D were part of
balance of statutory funds which was disclosed after the
Shareholders’ Equity.
In the modified accounting regulations retained earnings
accounts C and D, which are effectively arising out of
surplus of the statutory funds attributable to the
shareholders are therefore made part of shareholders’
equity.
PwC

Presentation of insurance liabilities – contd.
2.Incurred But Not Reported Claims (IBNR)
IBNRs were previously made part of Policyholder
Liabilities on the basis that these are determined by
actuaries and payable to policyholders. However, the
nature of IBNR is different from policyholder liabilities in
that IBNR is something where the claim event has actually
happened but yet to be reported to the insurer. Whereas,
policyholder liability is in respect of future event. The
revised format of Financial Statements includes IBNR as
insurance liabilities after outstanding claims.

Applicability of IAS 27, IAS 39 and IAS 40
• As per existing regulations, insurers are given certain
exemptions from IAS 27, IAS 39 and IAS 40.
• However, revised regulations have encouraged compliance
with IFRS, therefore these exemptions have been withdrawn.
• These are presented in next slides.

PwC
Applicability of IAS 27, IAS 39 and IAS 40 – contd.
Applicability of IAS 27
As per existing regulations, consolidated published financial
statements in respect of investments made through statutory
funds is not required to be presented. However, this exemption
has been withdrawn in modified regulations.
19
PwC
Applicability of IAS 27, IAS 39 and IAS 40 – contd.
Applicability of IAS 39
The existing regulations requires available for sale investments
to be valued at lower of cost or market value.
Now the accounting regulations adopts the requirements of IAS
39 completely and all investments requiring marked to market
will be valued accordingly.
20
PwC
Applicability of IAS 27, IAS 39 and IAS 40 – contd.
Applicability of IAS 40
Under IAS 40 companies have the option to select accounting
policy of valuing investment property either on cost or fair value
basis. The existing regulations however provides restriction and
do not allow the use of fair value option. The revised accounting
regulation removes this restriction.
21
PwC
22
In non-life insurance business, particularly in Marine Insurance
there is a practice of issuing cover notes for temporary period
which remain in force until the insurance policy is issued. It was
observed that the insurance companies start recognising the
accounting for such transactions only when the insurance policy
is issued. However, it was viewed that the company needs to
record the transaction since its inception.
The existing and revised requirements of the accounting
regulations are in the next slide:
Recognition of Cover Note in the books of accounts
PwC
23
EXISTING
Premium receivable under a policy shall be recognised as written from the date of attachment of the policy to which it relates.

REVISED
Premium receivable under a policy / cover note shall be recognised as written from the date of attachment of risk of the policy / cover note.

Explanation of management and other expenses – non-life insurers
Previously, there was no explanation of ‘expenses’ and ‘general and
administrative expenses’ for non-life insurers. However, in modified
accounting format ‘management expenses’ and ‘other expenses’
have been identified.
Following are included in other expenses in modified format:
o Legal and professional fee other than business related
o Auditors’ remuneration
o Subscription
o Registration fee
o Expenses of bonus issue
o Donations
o Workers Welfare Fund
PwC
Change in premium deficiency requirement
Existing
Where the unearned premium
liability for any class of business is
not adequate to meet the expected
future liability, after reinsurance,
from claims and other expenses,
including reinsurance expense,
commissions and other
underwriting expenses, expected to
be incurred after balance date in
respect of policies in that class of
business in force at balance date, a
premium deficiency reserve shall
be recognised to meet the deficit.
25
Revised
The provision for premium
deficiency (liability adequacy
test) shall be recognised in
accordance with the
requirements given in
International Financial
Reporting Standard 4 –
Insurance Contracts.
PwC 26
Change in premium deficiency requirement– contd.
If an insurer's liability adequacy test meets the minimum
requirements as above, the test is applied at the level of
aggregation specified in that test.

Key issues highlighted in modified regulations – life insurance
27
Possible adverse impact of taxation
• The taxability of life insurers is computed as per the
provisions of Fourth Schedule of Income Tax Ordinance,
2001. As per the Fourth Schedule only the amount of
surplus transferred from revenue account to profit and loss
account is subject to taxation.
• The existing regulations present separate revenue account
and profit and loss account in which the transfer of surplus
from revenue account to profit and loss account is separately
disclosed.
PwC Page 28
Key issues highlighted in modified regulations – life insurance – contd.
28
Possible adverse impact of taxation
• In the modified accounting regulations there will be no
revenue account and profit and loss account is prepared on a
combined basis for all statutory funds and shareholders fund
therefore, the transfer of surplus would not be separately
identifiable on the face of profit and loss account.
• The life insurance industry strongly feels that unless the
requirements of Income Tax Ordinance are changed to reflect
the new accounting regulations, taxation authorities may
create huge demands on the insurance companies.
PwC
n
The amount representing solvency margin in account D
shall not be taken as equity.
The surplus of any statutory fund which is not yet transferred
to profit and loss account is disclosed as ledger account D
relating to non participating business. This amount may be
held in view of solvency margins. It is viewed that since there
is a restriction on transfer such amount should be treated as
liability.
