Description: This is the second in a series of articles about accounting for reinsurance under GAAP Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts (LDTI). It looks at GAAP, as amended by LDTI, as if there were no precedent, specifically focused on products that require net premium reserves. With possible objectives for compliance, performance, and simplicity, it describes calculation techniques that could achieve all three objectives for a variety of long-duration reinsurance contracts.
