The Insurance Companies (Accounts and Statements) Regulations 1996

8.  In respect of non-linked contracts—

(a) where appropriate, the proportion of the office premiums explicitly or implicitly reserved for expenses and profits for each type of insurance (as shown in column 8 of Form 51 or column 10 of Form 52);

(b) the method by which a reserve has been made for expenses after premiums have ceased or where no future premiums are payable or where the method of valuation does not take credit for future premiums as an asset;

(c) where a prospective method of valuation has not been used, details of the tests made of the adequacy of the method used;

(d) where, in valuing contracts falling within the circumstances described in regulation 67(1) of the Insurance Companies Regulations, future premiums brought into account are not in accordance with that regulation, such additional information as is necessary to demonstrate whether the mathematical reserves determined in the aggregate for each of the main categories of contract are greater than an amount for each such category calculated in accordance with regulations 66 to 75 of those Regulations.

Provided that where the mathematical reserves (after deduction of reinsurance cessions) determined in the aggregate for all categories of contracts referred to in sub-paragraph (d) above represent less than 5 per cent. of the total mathematical reserves (after deduction of reinsurance cessions) for all non-linked contracts, it shall be sufficient for the actuary to state that the mathematical reserves for each such category of contracts are not less than the mathematical reserves that would be determined on a net premium reserving basis which, in that case, shall be specified by the actuary in the abstract.
