Pierre-Emmanuel Thérond et al., « IFRS 17: the sticking point of annual cohorts », HAL SHS (Sciences de l’Homme et de la Société), ID : 10670/1.f1c54c...
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.
