Insurance contract accounting requires liability adequacy testing, impairment assessment and detailed risk disclosures for insurers.

Ind AS 104 sets the accounting and disclosure framework for issued insurance and reinsurance contracts and financial instruments with discretionary participation features, specifies scope exclusions, treats embedded derivatives generally under Ind AS 109 with defined exceptions for certain surrender options, and prescribes unbundling rules for deposit components. Recognition and measurement require a liability adequacy test using current estimates, immediate recognition of any deficiency in profit or loss, impairment assessment of reinsurance assets, and constrained changes to accounting policies. Detailed disclosures must explain recognised amounts and the nature, extent and sensitivity of risks from insurance contracts.
