Description: This presentation is a Teaching Session, number 6TS, from the 2000 Valuation Actuary Symposium, held September 14-15 in Washington, DC. Late in 1999, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners [NAIC] adopted Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles. With a targeted uniform compliance date of January 1, 2001, insurers need to focus their attention on the implementation impacts associated with codification. The instructors provide a brief introduction to codification, and discuss the impacts that codification might have on life insurance companies, including: changes in accounting treatment and their impact on surplus and risk-based capital required changes in operational policies and procedures and changes in the annual and quarterly statement reporting process. Discussion from participants is included.
