61 61 Insurance Matters Update – Long Duration Contracts Targeted Improvements FASB currently in redeliberations Considering what method should be used to calculate and record the effect of updating assumptions for liability for future policy benefits for traditional long-duration contracts and limited-pay contracts. – Occurs during Q4 of the fiscal year Provision for adverse deviation is not included in the calculation of liability. FASB decided that updating of cash flow assumptions using a retrospective approach. FASB decided that updating of discount rate assumptions using an immediate approach.

62 62 Insurance Matters Update – Long Duration Contracts Targeted Improvements Under this assumption update method, a revised net premium ratio is calculated as of contract inception using actual historical experience and updated future cash flow assumptions. The revised net premium ratio is then applied to derive a cumulative catch-up adjustment to be recorded in current-period earnings. In subsequent periods, the revised net premium ratio is used to accrue the liability for future policy benefits. As a result of the Board’s prior decision to eliminate premium deficiency testing, the net premium ratio is capped at 100 percent so that losses are not deferred into future periods. The net premium ratio is not updated for discount rate assumption changes. Rather, the effect of discount rate changes is recorded immediately in other comprehensive income. The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income represents the difference between the carrying amount of the liability for future policy benefits measured using updated discount rates and locked-in rates at contract inception.

63 63 Insurance Matters Update – Long Duration Contracts Targeted Improvements Discount rate – If using an expected investment yield under existing GAAP, discount rate would be a rate based on a portfolio of high- quality, fixed-income securities Amortization of DAC – Certain investment contracts Use effective interest method – Other types of long-duration contracts Amortize of the expected life of a book of contracts in proportion to the amount insurance inforce.
