Some methods for calculating technical provisions
A. Reserve for unearned premiums
(1) The provision for unearned premiums shall in principle be calculated separately for each insurance contract.
2. For insurance categories where it is not possible to establish a time correlation between risks and premiums, calculation methods shall be used which take into account the same time development of risk.
3. If the time perspective cannot be applied in the calculation of the reserve in accordance with Paragraph 16 (4), the mathematical statistical methods may be used to determine the amount of the reserve.
B. Provision for imminent losses
The provision for impending losses referred to in Article 16 (9) shall be calculated on the basis of claims and administrative overheads likely to arise after the end of the accounting year in accordance with the insurance contracts concluded before that date, provided that their estimated amount exceeds the amount of the provision for outstanding premiums and the amount of the premiums due resulting from the insurance contracts in question. In calculating the provision, the deferred cost of insurance contracts under Section 30 shall also be taken into account.
C. Life insurance provision
The life insurance provision referred to in Article 16 (5) shall in principle be calculated separately for each life insurance contract. The negative values of the individual life insurance provisions arising from the application of the actuarial method shall be replaced by zero values. An overview of the underlying assumptions chosen shall be provided in the notes to the financial statements.
D. Provisions for claims outstanding
1. Non-life insurance
(a) The provision referred to in Article 16 (6) shall in principle be calculated separately for each insurance event on the basis of the expected value of future costs.
(b) The reserve must also take into account the damage incurred but not reported on the balance sheet date; the value of such a provision is determined in the light of experience as regards the number and severity of claims on claims reported after the balance sheet date. If this information is not available, the amount of the reserve shall be determined by actuarial methods and, if this is not possible for objective reasons, the qualified estimate method shall be used.
(c) The calculation of the provision shall take into account the cost of the insurance claims of Paragraph 19 (5) (a) irrespective of their origin.
(d) the amounts referred to in Article 19 (5) (b) shall be deducted from the provision for outstanding claims; their estimation shall be treated on the basis of the precautionary principle. If these amounts are significant, they shall be shown in the notes in the financial statements.
(e) Where the compensation for insurance benefits must be paid in the form of annual instalments, the amount of the provision which is created for that purpose must be calculated on the basis of recognised methods of insurance mathematics.
(f) Discounting or deductions may not be used, regardless of whether they result from the application of the valuation method to the provision for outstanding claims, which are expected to be settled at a later date at a higher value, or are expected to be carried out otherwise.
2. Life insurance
The amount of the provision for claims outstanding referred to in Article 16 (6) shall be equal to the amounts due to beneficiaries of the right to claims, plus the cost of claims. ';
