Judgments: presentation, disaggregation and reinsurance

Judgment

IFRS 17 §88

  • Choice of disaggregation of the finance expense

    JudgmentRequired

    Not applicable

    Disaggregation between profit or loss and other comprehensive income / All in profit or loss / Not applicable

    Professional judgment: the choice is made by portfolio; the split of the amounts of the period is a case assumption.

  • Rationale: policy choice of the portfolio, systematic allocation to profit or loss, amount in other comprehensive income

    Text

  • Reinsurance contracts held

    JudgmentRequired

    Not applicable

    Measured separately from the underlying contracts, with a loss-recovery component if the underlying group is onerous / Treatment to revisit / Not applicable

    Professional judgment: the reinsurance contract held is measured separately; the recovered share in the case is a pedagogical assumption.

  • Rationale: separate reinsurance contract, underlying group, recovery expected
