Memo

Company profile and case conventions

Sorvalis Assurances SA (fictitious entity) closes its accounts on 31 December 20X6, in EUR. Case conventions (pedagogical assumptions, not attributed to IFRS 17): annual discount rate of 5% for all flows, flows at year end, each flow discounted separately; risk adjustment given; share of 50% of the coverage units for the first year of group G1; acquisition cash flows of G3 expensed; the claims of G1 for the year are as expected; the entry of each group is illustrative. For G1, the six entries of the file record only the first premium flow and the release of the margin: claims, the release of the risk adjustment and the unwinding of the discount (including the interest on the margin, EUR 850) have no entry in the file.

Eligibility for the premium allocation approach or the variable fee approach, liability for remaining coverage, revenue of the period and entries

Context

Sorvalis Assurances SA (fictitious entity) closes its accounts on 31 December 20X6; the financial statements will be authorised for issue on 28 February 20X7. The preparer builds the file for the first application of IFRS 17 for the group protection portfolio (two groups) and for a one-year travel insurance group. The file is reviewed by a reviewer before sign-off. Teaching simulation: the review trail of the file (preparation, reviewer notes and final sign-off) is simulated for demonstration purposes; it is neither a real review nor a validation of the content.

Assignment

Eligibility of G3 and measurement under the premium allocation approach

Purpose of the workpaper

Record the coverage period of each contract of the group, the variability expected in the flows and the participation clauses. Judge the eligibility for the premium allocation approach, then for the variable fee approach. For an eligible group, compute the initial liability, the revenue of the period (allocation over time: case assumption) and the closing liability, then record the entries.

Questions of the file covered by this workpaper

  • Is G3 eligible for the premium allocation approach?
  • G3: compute the initial liability.
  • G3: compute the revenue of the period.
  • G3: compute the closing liability.
  • G3: record the premium received and the acquisition cash flows expensed.
  • G3: record the insurance revenue of the period.
