Key objectives:
- Analysing the technical, operational and financial impacts that arise with respect to the calculation of the CSM at initial recognition and subsequent measurement. These include issues pertaining to:
- contract boundaries
- ‘locked-in’ financial assumptions
- coverage units
- reinsurance contracts held
- loss components
- with-profits funds
- transition
- the impact on management information and relevant KPIs
- In addressing these issues, the working party will also consider existing literature and research material produced by relevant stakeholders (e.g. IASB and TRG; EFRAG; IFoA and other international actuarial associations; ICAEW and other accountancy bodies; consulting and audit firms; regulators and national standard setters)
