CHAPTER ONE

 

• INTRODUCTION

Insurance accounting as relates to insurance company is a distinct and specialized account that is always referred to as “specialized Accounting” just like taxation is a specialized area.  Though it employees the general accounting principles, concepts and conventions, there in need for a clear understanding of its preparations.

In the days of “T- forms” presentation of financial statements an insurance company account could be easily recognized form the sides of the “T” to which income and expenditure items are placed.  They where reversed and therefore not in conventional form.  The convention was placing revenue items to the right of the “T” insurance company revenue, profit and loess account had the revenue items to the legit of the “T” and expenditure items to the right.

Nowadays, the vertical forms of presentation are adopted and this peculiarity of reversal of sides is no longer these.

However, there are other features that distinguish accounting system in insurance industry or company form other accounting system.  There are:

1. Requirement by law for remitting of quarterly and annual returns to central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Nigerian insurance supervisory Board (NISB).
2. Prescription by law of the type and level of investment.

iii.      Requirement by law for the maintenance of margin of solvency.

1. Requirement by law for rendition of returns to the Nigerian insurance supper story board (NISB) with stated deadline.
2. Requirement by law of the maintenance of Reserves known as “TECHNICAL RESERVE” Comprising of insurance fund, Reserves for outstanding losses, reserves for incurred but not reported and contingency reserves.

All these are in addition to rendition of the required returns to the corporate affaire commission (CAC) being an incorporated company under or pursuant to the companies and allied matters decree (CAMD) 1990.

From the above, it can therefore be seen that without a proper understanding of intricacies involved in both the interpretation of the decree as well as the items that makes up insurance account and right treatment is accorded the financial statement generated will not give a true and fair view of the statement of affairs and of profit and loss for the period.

Having read and studies about insurance industry, the researcher fact it worth caring out a detailed researcher work in order to benefit those who have no accounting orientation of formal training in accounting before.  Also for the benefit of students in higher institutions and reader alike.
