VFA: Variable fee approach, the compulsory measurement model under IFRS 17 for long-term participating business
With regard to the reconciliation and recognition of IFRS 17 insurance items, certain insurance contracts and accounting methods are currently still under discussion, both in the literature and among audit firms. As a result, we were forced to make adjustments to the opening balance (or changes in equity) between the publication of the 2022 Annual Report and the H1 2023 Interim Report. In particular, these adjustments related to the measurement of outwards reinsurance contracts under the GMM using the OCI option. It is possible that further changes will have to be taken into consideration in the 2023 Annual Report.
