An insurance or reinsurance contract that transfers only significant timing risk limits the amount of underwriting risk to which the insurer or reinsurer is subject and is commonly entered into by the insured or ceding entity to provide liquidity. These limitations may result in an insufficient transfer of insurance risk. For example, insurance and reinsurance contracts that provide for experience adjustments may indicate that a sufficient amount of underwriting risk has not been transferred. The recovery of the amount of the initial deposit for a contract that transfers only significant timing risk is not substantially dependent on future loss experience of the insured.

For an insurance or reinsurance contract to be considered to have transferred significant underwriting risk, the probability of a significant variation in the amount of payments under the insurance or reinsurance contract must be more than remote. Such variation must also result from variation in the insured's losses, and it must be at least reasonably possible that the insurer will realize a significant loss from the transaction. An insurance or reinsurance contract that transfers only significant underwriting risk may be entered into to lessen the overall economic risks associated with the contract and permit a greater amount of coverage than would otherwise be obtainable for a comparable premium. Features in insurance or reinsurance contracts that transfer only significant underwriting risk limit the uncertainties about the timing of the receipt and payment of cash flow, thus limiting the amount of timing risk assumed by the insurer. A delayed reimbursement of losses by the insurer is a possible indication that timing risk has not been transferred. Unlike insurance and reinsurance contracts that transfer only significant timing risk, the recovery of the amount of the initial deposit for an insurance or reinsurance contract that transfers only significant underwriting risk is substantially dependent on the future loss experience of the insured. Depending on such experience, the initial deposit may be recovered or the recovery may be significantly more or less than the original deposit.

At contract inception, the insured records a $1,000 asset. Though the total amount ($1,125) is likely to be paid, changes in estimates of the timing of cash flows are expected. At each subsequent reporting date, the amount of the deposit would be increased by the amount of interest earned during the period, calculated using the estimated future cash flows to determine the then-current implicit discount rate (this is consistent with the retrospective approach in applying the interest method). At the end of Year 2, the timing of anticipated recoveries under the insurance or reinsurance contract is revised. A reevaluation of the implicit interest rate produces a rate of 3.63 percent and an asset of $640 at the end of the year. Given the change in the expected timing of cash flows at the end of Year 2, the carrying amount of the asset would be calculated as shown in the following table.

At inception a deposit asset or liability is recognized at consideration paid or received less explicitly identified premiums or fees retained (340-30-25-1; 340-30-30-1). Subsequent measurement depends on which of four risk categories the contract falls into: effective-yield/interest-method accretion for timing-risk-only or no-risk contracts, unexpired-coverage plus present value of expected recoveries for underwriting-risk-only contracts, and the open-year method for indeterminate-risk contracts.","key_points":["Insurance risk transfer requires both timing risk and underwriting risk, producing four deposit categories: timing risk only, underwriting risk only, neither, or indeterminate risk (340-30-05-2).","A deposit asset or liability is recognized at inception and measured at the consideration paid or received less any explicitly identified premiums or fees retained by the insurer or reinsurer, irrespective of contract experience (340-30-25-1; 340-30-30-1).","For contracts transferring only significant timing risk or neither risk, the deposit is adjusted each reporting date using the effective yield on estimated cash flows (interest method, consistent with 310-20 and 835-30), with a corresponding credit or charge to interest income or expense (340-30-35-1 through 35-3; 340-30-45-2).","If cash flow estimates change, the effective yield is recalculated retrospectively and the deposit is adjusted to the amount that would have existed had the new yield applied since inception (340-30-35-3); a significant change may signal that significant underwriting risk exists, requiring conversion to that model (340-30-35-4).","For contracts transferring only significant underwriting risk, the deposit equals the unexpired portion of coverage until a reimbursable loss is incurred, then the present value of expected future cash flows plus remaining unexpired coverage (340-30-35-5), discounted at the current rate on U.S. government obligations with similar cash-flow characteristics (adjusted for default risk only by the insured/ceding entity), locked in at each loss date (340-30-35-6).","Contracts with indeterminate risk follow the open-year method: effects are excluded from net income and aggregated on the balance sheet until premiums can be reasonably estimated and allocated, but the method cannot defer losses recognizable under Subtopic 450-20 (340-30-25-3 through 25-5); reclassification is a change in accounting estimate under Topic 250 (340-30-25-6 through 25-7).","Deposit assets and liabilities are reported gross unless a right of offset exists under Subtopic 210-20, and entities must disclose a description of the contracts plus separate totals of deposit assets and deposit liabilities (340-30-45-1; 340-30-50-1)."],"categories":["Recognition","Initial measurement","Subsequent measurement","Industry-specific"],"audience_level":"advanced","student_note":"This is the \"failed reinsurance\" bucket: if a contract does not shift both timing and underwriting risk, no premium/loss accounting is allowed and the arrangement is booked like a financing (deposit) with interest.
