Because the valuation of [reinsurance recoverables](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#reinsurance-recoverable "All amounts recoverable from reinsurers for paid and unpaid claims and claim settlement expenses, including estimated amounts receivable for unsettled claims, claims incurred but not reported, or policy benefits.") depends on the terms of the [reinsurance](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#reinsurance "A transaction in which a reinsurer (assuming entity), for a consideration (premium), assumes all or part of a risk undertaken originally by another insurer (ceding entity). For indemnity reinsurance, the legal rights of the insured are not affected by the reinsurance transaction and the insurance entity issuing the insurance contract remains liable to the insured for payment of policy benefits. Assumption or novation reinsurance contracts that are legal replacements of one insurer by another extinguish the ceding entity's liability to the policyholder.") contract and on estimates used in measuring the liabilities relating to the reinsured contracts, this Subtopic does not stipulate a specific valuation method. An entity shall measure contingent losses relating to disputed amounts in accordance with Subtopic 450-20 on loss contingencies. However, the [ceding entity](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#ceding-entity "The party that pays a reinsurance premium in a reinsurance transaction. The ceding entity receives the right to reimbursement from the assuming entity under the terms of the reinsurance contract.") shall measure expected credit losses relating to reinsurance recoverables in accordance with Subtopic 326-20 on financial instruments measured at amortized cost.

If an expected period is used as the period of the financial guarantee insurance contract to measure the unearned premium revenue, an insurance entity shall adjust the prepayment assumptions when those assumptions change. The adjustment to the unearned premium revenue shall equal the adjustment to the premium receivable with no effect on earnings at the time of the adjustment. The discount rate shall be updated to a current risk-free rate only when prepayment assumptions change. Example 1 (see paragraph [944-310-55-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/310/944/#310-944-55-1)) illustrates the accounting when prepayment assumptions change.

That paragraph states also that the adjustment to the unearned premium revenue shall equal the adjustment to the premium receivable.
