The financial impact from the adoption of MFRS 17 are mainly from the following key
components:-
Insurance revenue recognition
The measurement model will affect the revenue recognition and contract liabilities computation
Deferment of expenses
Amortisation of directly attributable expenses over the policy coverage period i.e. sales related
expenses, commission etc. This is applicable for both life/family and general insurance/takaful
businesses
Insurance finance income/(expenses)
Investment component is disclosed separately from insurance component in the Financial
Statement. The change of the discounting factors used over the coverage period to reflect the
time value of money and interest accretion on Future expected Cash flow, applicable to both
life/family and general insurance/takaful business
Impact to Maybank's income statement and balance sheet arising from MFRS 17 adoption can
be found in Note A41 of the Maybank 9M FY2023 Financial Statements
Maybank is in compliance with MFRS 17 requirements for
9M FY2023 reporting. As Etiqa has opted to use the various
approaches to transition allowed under MFRS 17, the
financial impact might vary depending on type of business:
General
Businesses
Life/Family
Credit
Businesses
Life/Family
Investment
Linked
Businesses
The discounting of insurance
contract/takaful certificate liabilities will
be applied. Acquisition expenses such as
agency and sales commission are now
amortised over the coverage period
Revenue is now recognised when service is
rendered over the coverage period as
opposed to the previous practice of upfront
recognition at inception. For example,
policies/certificates such as Mortgage
Reducing Term Assurance or Mortgage
Reducing Term Takaful can only see revenue
recognition over the duration of the credit
policy/certification's coverage period,
which averages about 20 to 30 years.
Takaful liabilities recognition under MFRS17
now includes expected future surplus
transfer that was not recognised in the past
Insurance and Takaful liability recognition
under MFRS 17 now includes expected future
profit surplus transfer that was not allowed
in the past due to local regulation
