IFRS 17: the sticking point of annual cohorts
Abstract
On September 30, EFRAG published its Draft Endorsement Advice on IFRS 17 Insurance contracts. Comments are requested by 29 january 2021. It concluded on a consensus basis that IFRS 17 meets the various criteria for endorsement, with the notable exception of the requirement to apply annual cohorts to intergenerationally-mutualised and cash-flow matched contracts. In this paper, we focus on this particular issue and show how annual cohorts fail to give a pertinent picture of participating life insurance business, as practiced in many continental European countries.
