However, many insurance companies, including affiliates within a consolidated group, may have additional revenue streams that are included in the scope of the new standard that must be evaluated.

The new standard is a framework to apply to each contract or portfolio of similar contracts and, therefore, each separate revenue stream will need to be assessed independently.

What's inside:

Our revenue recognition resource guide for insurance services identifies key topics impacting insurance companies and affiliates, including issues related to:

  • Claims processing and administration
  • Commission agreements
  • Policy fees or other charges
  • Managed care contracts
  • Extended service warranty contracts
  • Contracts with multiple promises
  • Impacts on balance sheet and taxes
