Description: Under U.S. GAAP long-duration targeted improvements (LDTI), some non-VA annuity products contain features scoped in as 'market risk benefits' (MRBs), which are required to be measured at fair value. For U.S. insurers, the question becomes 'How does the emerging principle-based reserving framework for non-variable annuities compare to the fair value framework for MRBs under LDTI?' See a comparison between these two new measurement models, highlighting some of the key considerations due to the added complexity of these calculations, to help companies strategically plan for their future state.

Description: Most insurers operate in a multi-GAAP world: Many U.S. insurers are regulated on a statutory/risk-basec capital (RBC) basis, report to markets under U.S. GAAP, pay taxes on a tax basis of accounting, and manage their business internally on an economic or other basis. In addition, many have overseas entities exposed to even more reporting bases. Reporting requirements are ever increasing and convergence of frameworks is not a reality in most parts of the world.Learn about a multi-GAAP framework to gain a bottom-up understanding of the differences in reserves and other balance sheet and income statement line items across reporting bases, both now and for future projections/plans. Using such an approach enhances insight into the valuation of the business, removes inconsistencies and results in operational efficiencies in the valuation process. At the conclusion of the session, you will learn technical concepts behind the Multi-GAAP framework and some practical ways to design and implement it.
