  3. Basis of Measurement

    • These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basic except for the following:
    • Non-derivativefinancial instruments, carried at fair value through profit or loss, are measured at fair value
    • Available-for-salefinancial assets are measured at fair value through equity. However, when the fair value of the Available-for-Sale financial assets cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost less impairment.
    • The liability for defined benefit obligation is recognised as the present value of the defined obligation less the fair value of the plan assets.
    • The plan assets for defined benefit obligations are measured at fair value
    • Assets and Liabilities held for trading are measured at fair value
    • Assets and Liabilities held to maturity are measured at amortised cost less impairment
    • Loans and Receivables are measured at amortised cost less impairment.
    • Insurance Contracts are measure at present value
  4. Judgment, Estimates and Assumptions

  5. The preparation of financial statements requires directors to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd)

The results of which forms the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, if their revision affects only that period or if there revision affects both current and future periods.

2.3.1 Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates

Critical accounting estimates are those which involve the most complex or subjective judgments or assessments, and relate to general insurance reserves, the determination of fair value for financial assets and liabilities, impairment charges, the determination of fair values of assets and liabilities attributable to business combinations, deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred taxes.

In each case, the determination of these items requires management to make informed judgments based on information and financial data that may change in future periods. Because of the uncertainties involved in such judgments, actual outcomes and results may differ from assumptions and estimates made by management.

a) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

All financial assets and liabilities are recorded initially at fair value. Subsequently, quoted equity financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are carried at fair value , as of the reporting date. All other financial instruments are carried at amortized cost, with their fair values disclosed.

b) Fair value of unquoted equity financial instruments

The fair values of financial instruments where no active market exists or where quoted prices are not otherwise available are determined by using valuation techniques. In these cases, the fair values are estimated from observable data using valuation models. The models used to determine fair values are validated and periodically reviewed by quailed personnel independent of those that sourced them. All models are certified before they are used, and models are calibrated to ensure that outputs reflect actual data and comparative market prices. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported air value of the relevant securities.

d) Liabilities arising from Insurance Contract:

  1. Claims arising from non-life insurance contracts

Liabilities for unpaid claims are estimated on a case by case basis. The liabilities recognized for claims fluctuate based on the nature and severity of the claim reported. Claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) are determined using statistical analyses which arise from the claims development tables in respect of not less than five (5) years' experience. The Group deems liabilities reported as being adequate since such liabilities have been subjected to the liability adequacy test by certified actuary.

  1. Unexpired risk and unearned premium

In determining unearned premium, the policy is taken to be evenly spread across the period of cover for all policies except engineering policies where policies are skewed towards the later policy coverage period.

e) Impairment of Trade Receivables

In accordance with the accounting policies on financial assets, the Group tests annually whether trade receivable has suffered any impairment. In respect of premium receivables, the group makes allowances for amounts not collected as at time of preparing its financials. The carrying amount of loans and receivables is reduced through an impairment allowance determined using an analytical method based on knowledge of each loan group or receivable.

f) Deferred Acquisition Costs

Deferred acquisition costs (DAC) generally consist of commissions, underwriting expenses and policy issuance costs. The amount of acquisition costs to be deferred is dependent on judgments as to which issuance costs are directly related to and vary with the acquisition.

The related asset is amortized over the premium earning pattern for non-life.

Those direct and indirect costs incurred during the financial year arising from the writing or renewing of insurance contracts and all other acquisition costs are recognized as an expense when incurred.

DAC for general insurance are amortized over the period in which the related revenues are earned. The reinsurers' share of deferred acquisition costs is amortized in the same manner as the underlying asset amortization is recorded in the statement of comprehensive income.

Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortization period and are treated as a change in an accounting estimate under as required by IAS 8..

An impairment review is performed at each reporting date or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises. When the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. DAC are also considered in the liability adequacy test for each reporting period.

DAC are derecognized when the related contracts are either settled or disposed off.

  1. Deferred taxes

Deferred income tax liabilities are recorded for temporary differences, which are based on the difference between financial statement carrying amounts and income tax bases of assets using enacted income tax rates and laws.

The utilization of deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences depends on the generation of sufficient taxable profits in the period in which the underlying asset or liability is recovered or settled.

(h) Regulation

The Group is regulated in Nigeria by the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) under the National Insurance Act of Nigeria. The Act specifies certain provisions which have impact on financial reporting as follows:

  1. section 21 (1) requires maintenance of contingency reserves at specified rates as set out under note 3.28 to cover fluctuations in securities and variation in statistical estimates;
  2. section 10(3) requires insurance companies in Nigeria to deposit 10 per centum of the minimum paid up share capital with the Central Bank of Nigeria.
  3. section 25 (1) requires an insurance company operating in Nigeria to invest and hold investments in Nigeria assets equivalent to not less than the amount of policy holders' funds in such accounts of the insurer. Note 16 sets out assets allocation that covers policy holders' funds.
  4. the requirement to provide 10 per cent for outstanding claims in respect of claims incurred but not reported at the end of the year under review under section 20 (1b). However, claims incurred but not reported liabilities have been estimated in line with accounting policy 3.17 to comply with IFRS.
    Section 59 of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria Act, (FRCN Act) provides that in matters of financial reporting, if there is any inconsistency between the FRCN Act and other Acts which are listed in section 59(1) of the FRCN Act, the FRCN Act shall prevail. The Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria acting under the provisions of the FRCN Act has adopted IFRS as the national financial reporting framework of Nigeria. Consequently, the provisions of section 20(1b) of the National Insurance Act, described in(iv) above which conflict with the provisions of IFRS have not been adopted:
    Significant accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially give rise to different results under different assumptions and conditions The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these financial statements.

These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
