Chapter II
VALUATION OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES, OTHER THAN TECHNICAL PROVISIONS
4. For prudential purposes, in accordance with the principle of proportionality, the insurance
or reinsurance undertaking shall value its assets and liabilities, other than technical provisions, based on the assumption that the undertaking will continue its activity under normal conditions and shall recognize an asset or liability on the basis of the valuation method it uses for the preparation of specialized financial statements on an individual and/or consolidated basis, in the event that:
4.1. the valuation method complies with Article 57 paragraphs (3) and (4) of Law No
92/2022;
4.2. the valuation method is proportionate with respect to the nature, scale, and complexity
of the risks inherent in the business of the insurance or reinsurance undertaking.
5. The procedures for valuation of the assets and liabilities of the insurance or reinsurance
undertaking must include at least the following:
5.1. the methodology and criteria to be used for the valuation of active and inactive markets;
5.2. the requirements to ensure adequate documentation of the valuation process and related
control measures, including data quality;
5.3. the requirements for documentation of the valuation methods used with respect to:
5.3.1. their structure and implementation;
5.3.2. the adequacy of data, parameters and assumptions;
5.4. the process for independent review and verification of the evaluation methods;
5.5. the requirements for regular reporting to governing bodies.
6. When valuing assets and liabilities, the insurance or reinsurance undertaking must take
into account the materiality threshold principle. A modification or error is considered material if it could influence the decision-making or judgment of the recipients of that information, including the control bodies or supervisory authorities. When assessing the materiality threshold, it must be acknowledged that quarterly measurement may rely on estimates and estimation methods to a greater extent than the measurement of annual financial data.
7. The insurance or reinsurance undertaking must apply the valuation techniques
consistently, taking into account the characteristics of the asset or liability in cases where market
18
Public participants would take those characteristics into account when determining the value of the asset at the measurement date, including the form and location of the asset or liability and, if applicable, restrictions on the sale or use of the asset. The insurance or reinsurance undertaking shall not value financial assets or financial liabilities at cost or amortized cost. The insurance or reinsurance undertaking shall not apply valuation models that value at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
8. When valuing investment property and other assets, the insurance or reinsurance
undertaking must choose the method which provides the most representative estimate of the value at which the assets can be willingly and knowledgeably traded in a transaction conducted under normal market conditions. These methods must be based on the following:
8.1. current prices in an active market for assets of a different nature, in a different form or
from different locations, or where subject to different lease or other contractual terms - adjusted to reflect those differences;
8.2. recent prices of similar assets in less active markets, with adjustments to reflect any
changes in economic conditions since the date of the transactions made at those prices;
8.3. forecasts of cash flows based on reliable estimates of future cash flows, supported by
the terms of any existing leases and other contracts and, where possible, external evidence such as leases of similar assets in the current market in the same location and form, using discount rates that reflect current market assessments of the uncertainty in the amount and timing of cash flows.
9. The insurance or reinsurance undertaking shall recognize contingent liabilities, as
liabilities if they are material. Contingent liabilities shall be material if information about the current or potential size or nature of those liabilities could influence the decision-making or judgment of the recipients of that information, including the supervisory authorities. The amount of contingent liabilities is equal to the present value of the expected future cash flows required to settle a contingent liability over the life of that contingent liability.
10. The insurance or reinsurance undertaking values its assets and liabilities, including
holdings in related undertakings, in accordance with the following hierarchy of methods:
10.1. using the default valuation method, assets and liabilities are valued based on quoted
market prices in active markets for the same assets or liabilities;
10.2. using the adjusted equity method, which requires the participating undertaking to value
its holdings in related undertakings based on the share of the excess of assets over liabilities of the related undertaking held by the participating undertaking, if valuation in accordance with subpoint
10.1 is not possible;
10.3. using either the valuation method that values assets and liabilities based on quoted
market prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, with adjustments to reflect differences, if valuation in accordance with subpoint 10.1 is not possible, or alternative valuation methods, provided that all of the following conditions are met:
10.3.1. neither valuation according to subpoint 10.1 nor valuation according to 10.2 is
possible;
10.3.2. it is not an undertaking over which a parent company effectively exercises a dominant
influence.
11. The insurance or reinsurance undertaking recognizes, and measures deferred taxes in
relation to all assets and liabilities, including technical provisions recognized for solvency or tax purposes. An insurance or reinsurance undertaking must offset deferred tax assets and liabilities only if it has the right to offset the deferred tax assets against the deferred tax liabilities; and if the
19
Public deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the tax authority on the same taxable entity.
12. Insurance or reinsurance undertakings shall value the following assets at zero:
12.1. goodwill;
12.2. intangible assets, other than goodwill, unless the intangible asset can be sold separately
and the insurance and reinsurance undertaking can demonstrate that there is a value for the same or similar assets that has been derived using quoted market prices in active markets, in which case the asset shall be valued in accordance with this chapter;
12.3. deferred acquisition costs.
