Pulse Survey: Mental health benefits
Survey: Since the pandemic began, 66% of employers report increased use of mental health resources offered through their benefits plan, and 62% indicate a significant spike in claim costs
The International Financial Reporting Standard for insurance contracts and US GAAP long-duration contract targeted improvements both require a current estimate of insurance liabilities instead of following a traditional net level premium reserve approach using assumptions locked in at policy issue. However, the source of period-by-period profit, and the resulting profit signatures due to experience or assumption changes, could differ significantly between the two. This briefing note illustrates these potential differences using a traditional level premium endowment contract.
