3.15 Insurance contract
The Insurance contract (asset) / liability is the sum of the present value of estimated future cash flows, risk adjustment for non-financial
risk, and contractual service margin.
Insurance contract liability occurs if CSM is greater than FCF while an insurance contract asset transpires when CSM is lesser than
FCF.
Here is the equation:

3.17 Summary
1. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has published a new standard, IFRS 17 'Insurance contracts' and
locally adopted as PFRS 17.
2. The new standard requires insurance liabilities to be measured at a current fulfillment value and provides a more uniform
measurement and presentation approach for all insurance contracts.
3. These requirements are designed to achieve the goal of a consistent, principle-based accounting for insurance contracts.
4. PFRS 17 supersedes PFRS 4 'Insurance Contracts' and related interpretations and is effective for periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2021, with earlier adoption permitted if both PFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' and PFRS 9
'Financial Instruments' has also been applied.
