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 the identified acquisition of directly attributable expenses over the policy
coverage period i.e. sales related expenses, commission etc.
➤Insurance finance income/(expenses)
The change of the time value of money mainly from Life and Family businesses, interest
accretion on Future Cash flow i.e. the change in discounting factor used over the period
Impact to Maybank's income statement and balance sheet arising from MFRS 17 adoption
can be found in Note A40 (i & ii) of the Maybank 1Q FY2023 Financial Statements

The discounting of insurance
contract/takaful certificate liabilities will
be applied. Acquisition expenses such as
agency and sales commission and claims 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 30 years
Insurance liability recognition under MFRS 17
now includes expected future income, which
is the surplus transfer from the participants'
fund. The inclusion was not allowed under
MFRS 4.
