The financial statements of insurance system companies must be prepared and presented in accordance with the provisions established by the Superintendence of Banking, Insurance and AFP (SBS). Situations or operations not provided for in the Chart of Accounts for Insurance System Companies or other rules of the Superintendence shall be treated by applying the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) officialized in the country by the Accounting Standards Council, and, in those cases not contemplated by these, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
Los Laureles No. 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) or, subsidiarily, the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in force in the United States of America, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).
The use of the last two standards is applicable provided that they do not contravene the specific provisions issued by the Superintendence in its general rules, and therefore such situations must be brought to the prior knowledge of the Control Body.
The structure of the Chart of Accounts has, among other objectives, to know the company's operations in the local market, in the foreign market and the operations it carries out with its own economic group (affiliates) and to know the results of its operations for each of the insurance risks (or lines) in which it operates.
The definition of Economic Group, for purposes of the use of digit 8 in the fourth position of each account, shall be understood as that established by the rules issued by the Superintendence in the Special rules on linkage and economic group.
In the case of Insurance Intermediaries and Auxiliaries, situations or operations not provided for in the Chart of Accounts for Insurance System Companies or other rules of the Superintendence shall be treated by applying the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) or the International Financial Reporting Standards for SMEs (IFRS for SMEs), in both cases, officialized in the country by the Accounting Standards Council, according to the framework established by said Council.
Accounting policies must be included in an Accounting Policies Manual, which must be updated at least annually or when there is a relevant change. Accounting policies must include the aspects indicated in the preceding paragraph. The Accounting Policies Manual must be approved by the company's Board of Directors and be available to the Superintendence.
Financial statements must provide information that complies with the following characteristics:
Understandability.- An essential quality of the information provided in financial statements is that it be readily understandable by users. For this purpose, users are assumed to have a reasonable knowledge of economic activities and the business world, as well as of their accounting, and also the willingness to study the information with reasonable diligence. However, information about complex matters that should be included in the financial statements because of its relevance to the needs of users for economic decision-making must not be excluded merely on the grounds that it may be too difficult for certain users to understand.
Relevance.- To be useful, information must be relevant to the decision-making needs of users. Information possesses the quality of relevance when it influences the economic decisions of those who use it, helping them to evaluate past, present or future events, or to confirm or correct evaluations carried out previously.
Frequently, information about the financial position and past activity is used as a basis for predicting the financial position and future activity, as well as other matters in which users are directly interested, such as the payment of dividends and salaries, the evolution of share prices, or the entity's ability to meet its debts when they fall due. Information does not need to be explicitly in the form of prospective data to have predictive value. However, the ability to make predictions from the financial statements can be enhanced by the way in which information about past transactions and other events is presented.
Materiality or Relative Importance.- Information is of relative importance when its omission or its misstatement can influence the economic decisions that users make on the basis of the financial statements. Relative importance depends on the magnitude of the item or of the assessment error, as the case may be, judged in the particular circumstances of the omission or error. That is, the relative
Los Laureles Nº 214 - Lima 27 - Perú Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
importance provides a threshold or cut-off point, rather than being a primary qualitative characteristic that information must have to be useful.
Reliability.- The usefulness of information is determined by its reliability, the quality that ensures it is free from significant error and bias, in order to properly present the transactions and events that occurred in the company during the period for which it reports.
Comparability.- Users must be able to compare the financial statements of an entity over time, in order to identify trends in financial position and performance. The measurement and presentation of the financial effect of similar transactions and other events must be carried out in a consistent manner throughout the company, over time.
An important implication of the qualitative characteristic of comparability is that users must be informed of the accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements, of any change in such policies, and of the effects of such changes. Users need to be able to identify differences between the accounting policies used for similar transactions and other events by the same entity from one period to another, and also by different entities.
The processes of assigning monetary value to each item comprising the financial statements must take into account the following definitions:
a) Amortized cost.- It is the initial measurement of a financial asset or a financial liability less repayments of principal, plus or minus the accumulated amortization - calculated using the effective interest method - of any difference between the initial amount and the repayment value at maturity, and less any impairment loss or uncollectibility (recognized directly or through the use of a specific account).
b) Historical cost or cost.- Assets are recorded at the amount of cash and other items paid, or at the fair value of the consideration given in exchange at the time of acquisition. Liabilities are recorded at the amount of the proceeds received in exchange for incurring the obligation or, in some circumstances (for example, in the case of income taxes), at the amounts of cash and cash equivalents expected to be paid to settle the corresponding liability in the ordinary course of operations.
c) Necessary costs of sale: These are essential incremental expenses directly attributable to the sale of an asset that the entity would not have incurred had it not decided to sell. These costs include the legal costs necessary to transfer ownership of the asset, sales commissions, and any other costs incurred before the legal transfer of the asset, but do not include financial expenses and taxes on profits, nor those incurred for prior studies and analyses.
d) Recoverable amount.- It is the higher of fair value less costs of sale and value in use.
e) Value in use: It is the present value of the estimated cash flows of an asset or a cash-generating unit. The entity will estimate those cash flows in accordance with current conditions, discounting them at an appropriate discount rate for the asset in question, for which the entity's average financing rate for a term equal to the useful life of the element will be taken into consideration, adjusted for the risks that market participants perceive for said asset. When the distribution of cash flows is subject to uncertainty, this will be considered by assigning probabilities to the different cash flow estimates; in any case, the estimates must take into account any other assumption that market participants would consider in their estimates, such as the degree of liquidity inherent in the asset being valued.
f) Carrying amount of an asset: It is the amount at which the asset is recognized in the balance sheet once its depreciation and accumulated amortization, as well as any value adjustment, have been deducted.
g) Net realizable value.- It is the amount that can be obtained from the disposal of an asset in the market, in the ordinary course of business, deducting the estimated costs to carry it out.
Los Laureles Nº 214 - Lima 27 - Perú Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
h) Present value. Assets are carried at present value, discounting the future net cash inflows expected to be generated by the item in the ordinary course of operations. Liabilities are carried at present value, discounting the future net cash outflows expected to be required to settle the debts, in the ordinary course of operations.
i) Fair value.- It is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled between parties who are knowledgeable and willing, in an arm's length transaction.
j) Residual value of an asset: It is the amount that the entity could obtain at the present time for its sale, or other form of disposal, once the estimated costs to achieve it have been deducted, but taking into account that the asset would have reached the age and other conditions expected to have at the end of its useful life.
k) Effective interest rate.- It is the discount rate that exactly equates the estimated cash flows to be received or paid over the expected life of the financial instrument (or, where appropriate, over a shorter period) with the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or financial liability (or of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities) and of recognizing income or expense over the relevant period.
The elements that measure financial position are: assets, liabilities and equity, and those that measure performance for the period are income and expenses.
It is a resource controlled by the entity as a result of past events, from which the entity expects to obtain future economic benefits.
It is a present obligation of the company, arising from past events, the settlement of which, and in order to discharge it, the entity expects to give up resources that embody economic benefits.
It is necessary to distinguish between a present obligation and a future commitment or undertaking. The decision to acquire assets in the future does not, in itself, give rise to the creation of a liability. Normally, a liability arises only when the asset has been received or the entity enters into an irrevocable agreement to acquire the good or service.
Certain liabilities can only be measured using a high degree of estimation. Thus, when a provision involves a present obligation that meets the rest of the definition, it is a liability, even if its amount must be estimated.
It is the residual interest in the assets after deducting liabilities. It includes contributions from owners, unless the definition of a liability is met. It also includes undistributed results of the current and prior periods, reserves and revaluation adjustments in accordance with accounting standards.
They are increases in economic benefits, produced throughout the accounting period, in the form of inflows or increases in the value of assets, or as decreases in obligations, which result in increases in net equity, and are not related to contributions from owners to this equity.
The definition of income includes both revenue from ordinary activities and gains. Revenue from ordinary activities arises in the course of the company's ordinary activities, and corresponds to a varied range of denominations. Gains are other items that, while meeting the definition of income, may or may not arise from the ordinary activities carried out by the entity.
SUPERINTENDENCY OF BANKING, INSURANCE AND AFP Republic of Peru
Los Laureles Nº 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
They are decreases in economic benefits, produced throughout the accounting period, in the form of outflows or decreases in the value of assets, or of the birth or increase of liabilities, which result in a decrease in net equity, and are not related to distributions to the owners of this equity.
The definition of expenses includes both expenses arising in the company's ordinary activities and losses. Expenses from ordinary activities arise in the course of the company's ordinary activities, and correspond to a varied range of denominations. Losses are other items that, while meeting the definition of expenses, may or may not arise from the ordinary activities carried out by the entity.
The elements of the financial statements, in addition to meeting the definitions described above, must meet the following conditions to be recognized in the financial statements:
a) It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the item will enter or leave the entity, based on evidence available when preparing the financial statements.
b) The item has a value or cost that can be reliably estimated.
Accrual basis.- In order to complete and prepare accounting information in a useful manner, the use of accruals on an accrual basis is required. This procedure gives recognition to all income earned and all losses incurred in each accounting period, regardless of the cash flow between the company and other parties.
Accounting records must reflect income and expenses receivable and payable, respectively. Financial statements prepared on this basis provide useful information to users for making economic decisions.
Going concern.- It is assumed that the company will continue developing its activities within the foreseeable future and that, therefore, it is necessary to divide its life into accounting periods in order to determine the results of each period and measure the amounts of assets, liabilities and equity at the end of each period. If the entity has the intention or need to liquidate its businesses, the financial statements must be prepared on a different basis, which must be disclosed in notes.
Recording.- Transactions and events are accounted for when the requirements to be recognized as elements of the financial statements are met and provided they can be reliably measured.
Substance over form.- Transactions and events must be recorded and presented in the financial statements according to their economic substance and not their legal form.
No offsetting.- The balances of the items of assets and liabilities, as well as income and expenses, are not offset, unless required by the Superintendency and/or IFRS.
Recognition of income and expenses.- For the allocation of income and expenses, the accrual principle will be applied, unless other criteria must be applied due to the application of the Superintendency's rules contained in this Plan.
Based on the regulatory precedence established in this Conceptual Accounting Framework, the specific accounting provisions applicable to insurance companies are indicated.
Los Laureles Nº 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
In the case of insurance intermediaries and auxiliaries, the specific accounting standards are regulated in the specific regulations applicable to their function.
IFRS 4 is the first issued by the IASB that contains provisions applicable to insurance operations and corresponds to Phase I of the standard applicable to such activities, so in this phase the objective is:
(a) To make limited improvements to the accounting for insurance contracts, until the Board completes the second phase of its project on insurance contracts.
(b) To require disclosure of information about such contracts.
The IFRS does not specifically distinguish whether the issuer of insurance contracts is an insurance company; however, for purposes of applying the Chart of Accounts, insurance companies under the supervision of the Superintendency of Banking, Insurance and AFP (SBS) are considered as such.
This standard is applicable both to insurance contracts and to reinsurance contracts, assumed and ceded.
An insurance contract is one in which one party (the insurer) accepts a significant insurance risk from the other party (the policyholder), agreeing to compensate the policyholder, insured and/or beneficiary if an uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects them. This definition applies strictly for accounting and financial information presentation purposes.
For such purposes, the following must be understood:
Insurance risk: which corresponds to the risk, other than financial risk, transferred by the holder of a contract to the issuer.
Financial risk: which corresponds to the risk of a possible future change in financial variables (interest rate, price of a financial instrument, price of a quoted commodity, exchange rate, price or interest index, credit rating or indices) or non-financial variables, that is not specific to one of the parties to the contract.
Significant risk: if, and only if, an insured event could cause the insurer to pay significant additional benefits (including claim handling and assessment costs) in any scenario, even if the insured event were extremely unlikely or even if the expected present value (that is, probability-weighted) of the contingent cash flows were a small proportion of the expected present value of all remaining contractual cash flows.
From the foregoing, it follows that what is relevant in an insurance contract for it to be considered as such under this IFRS is that it covers an insurance risk and that this risk is significant. The determination of whether an insurance risk is significant or not is relevant and applicable in the evaluation of life insurance contracts, mainly in their modern modalities, because there are contracts that rather represent an “investment contract” to which IAS 39 must be applied and classified as financial liabilities, since the insurer becomes the administrator of such funds, accounted for at fair value or amortized cost, as applicable, and therefore IFRS 4 does not apply to them.
The definition of significant risk is per contract and not per portfolio, since liabilities are calculated on an individual basis, that is, the mathematical life reserve is calculated policy by policy.
The analysis of compliance with the definition of significant risk to determine that the contracts are insurance contracts must be documented.
Once it has been determined that the contracts are insurance contracts, it must be analyzed whether or not to unbundle the deposit component that life insurance contracts could contain, in the form of amounts representing savings of the policyholders.
Los Laureles No. 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
The IFRS provides that in Phase I, unbundling of the deposit component is required when the company does not record it as a liability. In this sense, the recording of mathematical life reserves and, in general, of technical reserves, includes all obligations to the policyholders of the insurance, including such components, so separation is not required.
Unbundling mandatorily applies to financial reinsurance operations in which the return of the deposit component is not reflected in the financial statements.
In the specific case of life insurance in which the policyholder assumes all or part of the investment risk, separation will only be mandatory if the corresponding technical reserves do not recognize all of the insurance companies' obligations arising from the contract. In that case, the portion of the premium corresponding to the investment will be recorded as a liability, to which the provisions of IAS 39 will apply as a financial liability, and the related assets must be identified. For such purposes, accounts 1707 and 2106 will be used.
The IFRS provides that embedded derivatives of an insurance contract must be separated. In an insurance contract, these are considered to include, among others, the surrender right in life insurance, if the value varies based on changes in financial variables or other variables that are not part of the insurance contract.
In this sense, if the payment associated with the embedded derivative depends on the occurrence of the insured event (survival or death), as occurs in life insurance, the embedded derivative does not require separation. Nor do surrender rights for a fixed amount or a fixed amount plus a financial return related to market conditions require separation.
In the case of surrender rights referenced to indices or prices of certain assets or to index rates higher than market rates, separation is required, with IAS 39 applying in this case, with respect to financial derivatives, accounted for at fair value.
They correspond to additional guarantees, such as technical, financial or technical-financial returns granted to the policyholder, but it is up to the insurer to decide their amount or the date of their granting.
When the aforementioned components are recognized through the calculation of technical reserves, they do not require separate valuation. Profit sharing will not require separation.
It is the technical reserve constituted as a liability by companies to face the catastrophic risks covered under the fire and allied lines, loss of profit and engineering lines. According to the provisions of the SBS, a catastrophic risk is defined as that arising from the occurrence of two or more losses caused by the same natural event whose intensity is abnormal, specifically: earthquakes, seaquakes, tsunamis, rains, floods, storms, volcanic eruptions, the El Niño phenomenon and conflagration.
Law No. 26702 provides that the reserve for catastrophic and uncertain loss risks corresponds to one of the technical reserves that insurance companies must maintain.
The reserve is determined based on the probable maximum loss and the expected maximum loss of the portfolio of assets insured against earthquake risk, and its amount is made up of the retention or priority borne by the company, in accordance with the catastrophic excess of loss reinsurance contract, and by the part not covered by said contract.
The accounting record must affect accounts 4203 and 2604.
As long as the valuation regime for obligations assumed in insurance contracts is not established, which will correspond to phase II of IFRS 4, it is generally considered that insurance companies that constitute their technical reserves in accordance with the provisions of the SBS comply with the minimum requirements demanded in the liability adequacy test.
Los Laureles Nº 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
The technical reserves provided by the General Law, in addition to the catastrophic and uncertain loss risk reserve dealt with in the previous subsection, are the following:
i. Reserve for claims pending settlement and/or payment. Insurance companies must record as a liability in their accounting the entire estimate of claims when they are reported by policyholders, insured parties and/or beneficiaries, which make up the technical reserve for claims. The SBS has regulated specific aspects of the quantification of this Reserve, and may consider, in addition to case-by-case valuation, the use of global statistical methods. Claims may be: a) in the process of settlement, or b) may be settled and pending payment. Likewise, those claims that, being settled, are disputed by policyholders, insured parties or beneficiaries, as well as those affected by a dispute resolution or litigation mechanism before the Judiciary, must also be included in this technical reserve. This technical reserve cannot be reduced by the value of claim recoveries, which are recorded in memorandum accounts, recognizing income only when their transfer is made. The recording of claims must affect the corresponding accounts under item 42 and accounts 2601 or 2603. In the case of claims borne by reinsurers, the recording must affect account 2605 and item 52. On the other hand, the proportion of the total cost of claims borne by reinsurers calculated in accordance with the reinsurance contracts must be maintained as “Reported Claims of Ceded Premiums” (account 2605), provided that the claims reported by the corresponding insured parties form part of the technical reserve for claims. Once the insurance company pays the claim, the balance receivable from the reinsurer must form part of the accounts receivable from reinsurers referred to in item 14. This technical reserve must also consider claim settlement expenses, which must be estimated for an amount sufficient to cover the company's expenses necessary for the total settlement of claims, considering the settlement expenses external to the company, when claims adjusters participate, as well as the expenses associated with the internal or direct settlement carried out by the company, which must be included in the claims reserve for both direct insurance and accepted reinsurance.
ii. Reserve for claims incurred but not reported. The reserve for claims incurred but not reported, a component of the technical reserve mentioned in the previous letter, has the purpose of covering the cost of claims incurred as of its calculation date but that have not yet been reported to the companies. In this sense, it represents the estimated amount of claims incurred before the close of the financial information and not reported as of that date. It is a technical reserve of mandatory constitution for all insurance risks, with the exception of insurance in the form of a life annuity. The calculation methodology established by the SBS is based mainly on global statistical methods when they can be applicable, supported by data from historical claims experience. Its accounting record must affect accounts 4206 and 2602.
iii. Reserve for risks in force (RRC). The RRC is intended to cover the obligations arising from premiums corresponding to general lines insurance (including accident and health risks) and life insurance (individual and short-term collective with an annual or shorter term) for the period of validity not expired as of the date of its constitution. This reserve must be calculated, with the frequency established for each case, as the result of the sum of two components:
Los Laureles No. 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
a) The Unearned Premium Reserve (UPR), whose purpose is to support the obligations of insurance contracts that remain in force at the close of the calculation period and is made up of the in-force premiums of the insured portfolio pending to be earned;
b) The Premium Deficiency Reserve (PDR), intended to complement the former, which is constituted when the unearned premium reserve is insufficient to cover the estimated risks corresponding to the unexpired coverage period of the policies at the calculation date.
The corresponding calculation methodology is determined by the SBS.
The accounting record of the unearned premium reserve must affect item 41 and account 2701 or 2702, in the case of reserves for premiums of insurance and reinsurance assumed, and item 52 and account 2705 in the case of reinsurance ceded.
In the case of the premium deficiency reserve, the accounting record must affect item 41 and account 2707.
They correspond to the obligations arising from the insurance that must be contracted within the framework of the Private Pension System. It has two components:
a) That obligation related to disability and survivorship insurance, and funeral expenses, applicable to members who suffer a claim during the term of the previsional insurance contract.
b) That obligation related to retirement insurance, once the member opts for one of the retirement schemes provided by the corresponding legislation.
The SBS establishes the calculation methodology for these technical reserves, which includes related expenses.
The accounting record affects items 42 and account 2601 or 2602, and item 52 and account 2605 in the case of technical reserves borne by reinsurers.
The aforementioned provisions are applicable to the complementary work risk insurance (SCTR), since they correspond to disability, survivorship, and funeral expenses benefits, applicable to insured persons who suffer a claim during the insurance coverage and who perform work at risk, according to the provisions issued by the SBS.
This reserve corresponds to the value of the obligations for the insurance subscribed by the insurance company, including internal management expenses, net of the obligations of the policyholder.
The SBS establishes the specific methodology in general rules.
In the cases of contracts in which it has been established that the investment risk will be borne by the policyholder or insured, the reserve will be calculated according to the methodology established by the SBS.
The accounting record affects items 41 and accounts 2703 and 2704, and for the reserve borne by reinsurers, items 52 and account 2706.
Insurance liabilities (technical reserves) must be presented in the financial statements without offsetting them against related reinsurance assets (the portion of technical reserves borne by the reinsurer). Reinsurance assets must form part of the assets in the financial statements. They must also be presented in said statements until the corresponding obligations have been settled, cancelled or expired.
In the case of the Catastrophic and Uncertain Loss Reserve, companies shall adhere to the provisions established by the Superintendency.
Los Laureles No. 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
“Fronting” insurance contracts will continue to be recorded as insurance contracts.
The subscription of a reinsurance contract as cedent determines the recognition of a charge to results for ceded premiums using item 40, with credit to the corresponding account of item 24. Claims receivable from reinsurers, which correspond to the technical reserve for claims for ceded premiums, must not reduce the liabilities for claims payable to insureds, but must be recognized as assets in the financial statements. The SBS has established that although said items form part of the accounting item of claims payable to insureds (account 2601), they do not decrease said accounts, because they are separated (account 2605), which facilitates their identification. In this way, their reclassification as an asset is permitted within the framework of the provisions of IFRS 4 on “Insurance Contracts”.
Once the claim has been assessed and settled by the insurance company, the portion to be recovered from the reinsurer must be transferred from account 2605 to the corresponding accounts of item 14.
When an insurance company subscribes a reinsurance contract as reinsurer, it must recognize a credit to results for income from premiums received using accounts 5003 and/or 5004, with charge to the corresponding account of item 14. Claims payable to the cedent must be recorded as a liability in account 2603 with charge to results (account 4204 and/or 4205).
Premiums for non-proportional reinsurance will be recorded in item 19 as a prepaid expense, and once the period is earned, the corresponding part will be recorded in account 4001.
No offsets should be made between accounts receivable and payable for reinsurance contracts, unless this is permitted by an SBS provision.
The balances receivable from reinsurers, recorded under item 14, will be subject to evaluation to determine the existence of impairment, subject to the specific provisions established by the Superintendency in general rules.
The technical reserves borne by reinsurers for ceded reinsurance correspond to reinsurance assets, which are subject to impairment when there is objective evidence that the insurance company (the cedent) will not receive payment from the reinsurer corresponding to the ceded reinsurance, based on the terms of the reinsurance contract, and this can be measured reliably.
There are indications of impairment in the following cases:
Reinsurance contracts with reinsurers that are in unsafe practice, according to SBS rules, with a duration exceeding 12 months.
Contracts that do not have the cover note signed by the reinsurance broker and the lead reinsurer, at least 30 days from the start of their validity.
When the indications of impairment become objective evidence, the corresponding impairment must be recorded in a corrective account.
Companies that had been deferring policy acquisition costs for life insurance may continue to do so, considering that the amortization method should be consistently applied from year to year.
Although it is not a topic addressed by IFRS 4, and in accordance with the constitution of technical reserves, premiums corresponding to insurance coverages granted in the year are recognized as income from ordinary operations of the respective year, with the expense for the adjustment of the corresponding technical premium reserve being recorded in parallel.
It comprises the premiums corresponding to the insurance policies issued, as well as the premiums for accepted reinsurance according to the reinsurance contracts signed and the premiums for coinsurance received.
SUPERINTENDENCY OF BANKING, INSURANCE AND AFP Republic of Peru
Los Laureles No. 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
In general terms, the accounting record of premium income must include the entire premium corresponding to the contracted period according to the policy and coincide with the start of coverage, according to current regulations. For the purposes of recording income, the payment method of the premium should not be considered. In the case of automatic renewals, the record must be made when they enter a policy issuance system.
Specific cases are regulated by the Superintendency.
Cancellations and refunds of premiums, commissions, and claims must affect the results of the year.
The main concepts of IAS 39 correspond to:
Financial instrument: is any contract or transaction that gives rise to a financial asset in one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument in another entity.
Financial asset: is any asset that is:
a) Cash
b) An equity instrument of another entity
c) A contractual right to:
i. Receive cash or another financial asset from a third party.
ii. Exchange financial assets or liabilities with a third party under potentially favorable conditions.
d) A contract that may be or will be settled with the entity's own equity instruments issued by the entity, which:
i. If it is not a derivative, obliges or may oblige the entity to receive a variable number of its own equity instruments.
ii. If it is a derivative, it cannot be or will not be settled by a fixed price for a fixed number of its own equity instruments.
Financial liability: is any liability that involves:
a) A contractual obligation to:
i. Deliver cash, or another financial asset to a third party.
ii. Exchange financial assets or liabilities with a third party under potentially unfavorable conditions.
b) A contract that may be or will be settled with the entity's own equity instruments issued by the entity, which:
i. If it is not a derivative, obliges or may oblige the entity to deliver a variable number of its own equity instruments.
ii. If it is a derivative, it cannot be or will not be settled by a fixed price for a fixed number of its own equity instruments.
Equity instrument: is any contract that evidences, or reflects, a residual interest in the assets of the entity that issues it after deducting all its liabilities.
On this basis, the SBS has considered establishing the following guidelines:
The SBS has established four categories for the recording and valuation of financial investments. These categories have been determined based on the provisions of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”, IAS 28 “Investments in Associates” and IAS 31 “Interests in Joint Ventures”. Likewise, the provisions on impairment of investment instruments established in the corresponding IFRS apply, as well as the treatment of goodwill (mercantile surplus) established in IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”, with the criteria contained in IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”, IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” in force in Peru also being applicable.
Therefore, the aforementioned rules are applicable insofar as they do not conflict with the provisions of this Conceptual Accounting Framework and other rules issued by the Superintendency.
Below is a summary of the rules issued by the SBS that apply to financial investments, the development of which is found in the relevant rules:
1. Investments at fair value through profit or loss: comprises investment instruments intended to be traded in the near future for the generation of short-term gains, having been designated from the moment of their initial accounting recognition to be accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. The instruments in this category must have a market price quoted in an active market whose fair value can be reliably estimated. The relevant regulations specify the instruments that cannot be considered in this category.
Likewise, other investment instruments expressly designated by the SBS by rule shall be considered.
The accounting treatment is subject to the following:
a. Initial accounting recognition is made at the fair value corresponding to the transaction price, and must not include transaction costs, such costs being recorded as expenses.
b. After initial recognition, valuation shall be made at fair value, such that when it exceeds the carrying amount, a gain from fluctuation in values shall be recognized under item 56, and otherwise, a loss shall be recognized under item 46.
c. In the case of debt instruments, prior to fair value measurement, companies must accounting-wise update the amortized cost by applying the effective interest rate methodology, and from the amortized cost obtained, gains and losses from changes in fair value must be recognized.
d. The exchange difference of the instruments shall be recognized in the results of the year, affecting item 56 or item 46.
2. Available-for-sale investments: comprises investment instruments that are not classified as "investments at fair value through profit or loss," "held-to-maturity investments," or "investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures," and others expressly designated by rule.
The accounting treatment is subject to the following:
a. Initial accounting recognition is made at the fair value corresponding to the transaction price, and must include transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of such investments.
b. After initial recognition, valuation shall be made at fair value. The gain or loss arising from the change in the fair value of the instrument shall be recognized in other comprehensive income until its sale or realization, at which time the accumulated gain or loss must be reclassified from the unrealized gain or loss (account 3801 or 3802) to the results of the year, under items 46 or 56 in the case of a loss or gain, respectively.
c. In the case of debt instruments, prior to fair value measurement, companies must accounting-wise update the amortized cost by applying the effective interest rate methodology, and from the amortized cost obtained, gains and losses from the change to fair value must be recognized.
d. The accounting recognition of the valuation of these investments must be made for the net valuation effect of the portfolio, and the use of accounts 3801 and 3802 will depend on the balance it shows. In this regard, companies must determine whether it is a gain or loss before making the accounting recognition in order to use the corresponding accounts.
e. In the case of debt instruments, prior to fair value measurement, companies must accounting-wise update the amortized cost by applying the effective interest rate methodology, and from the amortized cost obtained, gains and losses from the change to fair value must be recognized.

f. In the case of equity instruments that do not have a quotation and whose fair value cannot be reliably determined, they shall be valued at cost. As soon as a reliable fair value is available, the measurement shall be at fair value, following the provisions relating to fair value recognition.
g. Gains or losses from exchange differences related to the amortized cost of debt instruments shall affect the results of the year (items 46 or 56), provided that they are not instruments used for hedging purposes. Whereas in the case of equity instruments, they shall be recognized in equity accounts (item 35), provided that they are not hedging operations.
h. The impairment in the value of debt instruments shall determine the following: 1) If the instrument has a gain recorded in Other Comprehensive Income, due to fair value measurement, said gain shall be reversed against the value of the instrument, and the impairment of the asset shall also be recorded affecting item 46 against account 1109 or 1709; and 2) If the instrument has an unrealized loss recorded in Other Comprehensive Income, due to fair value measurement, said loss shall be transferred to profit or loss, affecting item 46 against item 38, and the pertinent impairment shall also be recorded, affecting item 46 against accounts 1109 or 1709. The reversal of the impairment shall affect account 5609 against accounts 1109 or 1709. In the case of impairment of equity instruments, the treatment shall be similar to that mentioned in the preceding paragraph, with the difference that the impairment shall not affect accounts 1109 or 1709, but shall be transferred to item 46. In the case of the value of an unlisted equity instrument, the amount of the impairment loss shall be the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the present value of the expected future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of return for similar assets, affecting items 1109 or 1709, with item 46 as the counterpart.
i. Impairment losses affecting equity instruments may not be reversed through profit or loss for the year, but shall be reversed through Other Comprehensive Income. In the case of equity instruments measured at cost, impairment losses may not be reversed. In the case of debt instruments, losses shall be reversed through profit or loss for the year, provided that the increase in the fair value of said instrument can be verifiably and objectively associated with a favorable event occurring after the loss.
j. If due to various circumstances an instrument must be accounted for at cost or amortized cost instead of at its fair value, the fair value carrying amount of the instrument at that date shall become its new cost or amortized cost, as the case may be. Any result from that instrument that had previously been recognized directly in equity shall be accounted for in accordance with the pertinent provisions in the title "Changes in classification category."
3. Held-to-maturity investments: comprises debt instruments, with fixed or determinable payments, acquired or reclassified by the company with the intention of holding them until maturity, for which the necessary financial capacity must be available, and such capacity must be evaluated annually. Instruments that are intended to be held for an indefinite period and those issued by entities of the company's economic group, among others, may not be classified in this category.
The accounting treatment is subject to the following:
a. The initial accounting record is made at fair value corresponding to the transaction price, and must include transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of said investments.
b. After initial recognition, held-to-maturity investments shall be measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
c. The increase or decrease in the fair value of instruments classified in this category shall not affect the company's profit or loss. It shall be affected when the instrument is derecognized, affecting items 11 or 17, or when it has been impaired, using item 46.
d. Gains or losses from exchange differences shall affect profit or loss for the year (items 46 or 56), provided that they are not hedging transactions.
Los Laureles No. 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
e. The impairment loss is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount (amortized cost) at the time the impairment is determined and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate (purchase IRR) if it is a fixed-rate instrument, or the effective interest rate in force for the period (the rate at the date to which the financial statements refer), determined according to the contract, if it is a variable-rate instrument.
f. The impairment in the value of the instruments shall affect accounts 1109 or 1709, with item 46 as the counterpart. The reversal of the impairment shall affect account 5609 against accounts 1109 or 1709.
4. Investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures: comprises equity instruments acquired for the purpose of participating in equity and having control in accordance with the Special Rules on Linkage and Economic Group issued by the SBS, joint control as indicated in IAS 31 "Interests in Joint Ventures" and/or holding significant influence in other entities taking into consideration the provisions of IAS 28.
The accounting treatment is subject to the following:
a. Investments recorded in this category shall be initially accounted for at fair value using account 1708, applying the equity method.
b. The difference between the cost of the investment and the investor's portion of the fair value of the identifiable net assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the investee shall be accounted for as follows:
b.1 If the acquisition cost is greater, goodwill shall be generated, which shall be recorded as investments (account 1708) if it is an acquisition of investments, or a business combination, in which the absorbing entity presents separate financial statements.
b.2 In the event that the acquisition cost is lower (badwill), the difference shall be included as income for the determination of the investor's share in the result of the subsidiary, associate or joint venture interests in the period in which the investment is acquired.
a. If the book value of the investment increases or decreases, account 1708 and items 46 or 56 shall be affected if it is a loss or a gain, respectively, by the recognition of the portion corresponding to the company in the result for the year obtained by the entity in which the investment has been made, after the acquisition date. Likewise, the variations suffered by the proportional interest in the investee, as a consequence of changes in Other Comprehensive Income of the investee, for example due to the revaluation of fixed assets or the valuation of available-for-sale investments, the portion corresponding to the insurance company shall be recognized in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in equity account 3801 if it is a gain or 3802 if it is a loss.
b. Distributions received from the investment made shall reduce the book value of the investment, affecting account 1708.
c. In accordance with IAS 28, gains and losses from "upstream" and "downstream" transactions between the investor and the subsidiary or associate shall be recognized in the investor's financial information only to the extent of the interests of other investors in the subsidiary or associate that are unrelated to the investor. With respect to transactions between a venturer and a joint venture, the guidelines established in IAS 31 shall be observed.
Los Laureles No. 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
a. Impairment of the instruments shall directly affect their book value, that is, item 17, with item 46 as the counterpart. The impairment loss may be reversed by directly affecting item 17 and with item 56 as the counterpart.
b. When it is identified that one or more of the investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture interests have suffered an impairment of their value, this shall correspond to the difference between the book value and the recoverable amount of the investment, following the guidelines of IAS 36. The book amount of the investment shall be reduced until it reaches its recoverable amount. The impairment loss shall be recognized immediately in the result for the year.
These investments are affected by exchange differences in application of the provisions of IAS 21, that is, when the investments in subsidiaries, associates and/or joint venture interests have a functional currency different from that of the insurer. In this sense, exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of the net investment in a foreign operation of the company in accordance with the provisions of IAS 21 shall be recognized in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in account 3502. Subsequently, they shall be reclassified to the result for the year when the foreign operation is disposed of, affecting items 56 or 46 as appropriate for a gain or loss, respectively.
a. Companies must assess quarterly whether there is evidence of impairment of the value of investment instruments, based on the objective existence of impairment as a consequence of an event that has occurred after the initial recognition of the investment instrument and that the event causing the loss has an impact on the future cash flows of the instrument that can be reliably estimated.
b. Companies shall assess the evidence of impairment in accordance with the provisions of the Regulation for the Classification and Valuation of Investments of Insurance Companies.
c. When, in the opinion of the Superintendency, there is any distortion in the calculation of impairment, the company shall be required to justify the calculations made.
a. The accounting record is made on the basis of the negotiation date, that is, the date on which the reciprocal obligations are assumed that must be consummated within the term established by the regulations and customs of the market in which the operation is carried out.
b. In the initial accounting record of the investments, they shall be recorded at fair value, which shall correspond to the transaction price, unless proven otherwise.
c. If at the time of acquisition the investment instrument incorporates accrued interest pending payment by the issuer, a premium or a discount, these must be incorporated in the initial recognition of the investment. Likewise, when dividends come from net profits obtained before the acquisition of the instruments, they shall be deducted from their cost.
d. The charges and credits for the payment or collection of purchases or sales, as appropriate, shall be made on the date of settlement and compensation resulting from the negotiation of the investment instruments, under the modality of delivery of the instruments in exchange for the receipt of cash according to the terms agreed in the transaction.
e. In the case of having made several purchases of the instrument, the average cost shall be used for equity instruments, and the specific cost for each purchase operation for debt instruments.
f. The accounting policy for the sale of debt instruments must consider the FIFO method.
Fair value is associated with the value observed in market transactions under "normal" situations and mutual independence; likewise, fair value will take into account the credit quality of the instrument. In this regard, the general criteria for determining fair value are as follows:
Los Laureles No. 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
a. When the instruments are quoted in active markets, fair value is determined by the price observed in those markets, which must be readily and regularly available through a centralized negotiation mechanism and reflect current market transactions occurring regularly between parties acting in a situation of mutual independence. In the case of equity instruments, the market price must be the closing price, and in the case of debt instruments, the market price must be the "bid" price, that is, the purchase price representing firm bids.
b. If the observed quotation does not refer to the financial instrument as a whole, but there is an active market for its components, fair value will be determined on the basis of the relevant market prices of those components.
c. In the case of instruments quoted in inactive markets, fair value is determined using a valuation technique or models that uses market data to the greatest extent possible and minimizes the use of data provided by the company. A market is considered inactive when it does not have sufficient quotations from freely accessible price sources for a period of no less than 30 calendar days.
d. In the case of unquoted instruments, fair value will be determined using valuation techniques or models.
Valuation techniques include the use of recent market transactions between interested and duly informed parties acting under conditions of mutual independence, if available.
Companies must have adequate valuation methodologies and techniques that allow obtaining the fair value of such instruments, which must incorporate all the factors that market participants would consider to establish a market price and be consistent with accepted economic methodologies for setting prices of investment instruments. The models must be periodically calibrated and changes incorporated into the models must be validated and documented. Such methodologies and models must observe the guidelines issued by the SBS through generally applicable rules.
For those instruments not quoted in an active market that are included in the Price Vector, that source of information will be taken into account. Likewise, at the request of the company, the SBS may define as valid certain valuations provided by entities that provide asset valuation services or price provider companies.
The use of techniques other than the price vector will empower the SBS to request adjustments to those models that in its judgment do not meet minimum requirements of technical robustness or that are based on insufficient market information, and it may require the hiring of a company that provides asset valuation services with recognized experience for the estimation of market prices of certain investment instruments. The models must be previously approved by the company's Board of Directors and must be available to the SBS.
Equity instruments that do not have prices quoted in active markets and whose fair value cannot be reliably estimated must be measured at cost. Such instruments must be recorded in the Available for Sale category.
a. Whatever the category in which the debt instruments are classified, the value adjustments made by re-adjustment factors, as well as the interest calculated according to the effective interest rate method, must be recognized in the result for the year. This method includes interest from the application of the nominal interest rate (coupon rate) as well as the amortization of any difference between the initial amount and the redemption value at the maturity of the instrument (premium or discount), a calculation that is made at each information presentation date. This interest will be recognized in items 11 or 17 against accounts 4605 and 5609. Subsequently, if applicable, it is compared with the fair value of the instrument in each valuation period. This comparison depends on the category in which the instrument is classified.
b. Dividends will be recognized when the company's right to receive payment is established.
Los Laureles No. 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
c. Dividends received in shares must be recognized at an acquisition cost of zero, and the average unit cost of the share (not the total) must be modified, and subsequent valuation will be recorded according to the category of the instrument.
a. The company is prohibited from reclassifying an investment instrument from the Investments category to "Fair Value with Changes in Results" or into it, except in the case of an equity instrument that ceases to have market quotations and for which it is not possible to obtain a reliable estimate of its fair value; in this case, the instrument will remain valued according to what was calculated in its last fair value adjustment, adjusted for impairments, when applicable, and must be reclassified to the "available-for-sale investments" category. Exceptionally, those investment instruments classified as investments at fair value with changes in results that: i) are delivered as collateral; and, ii) are reported or transferred through a repurchase operation or repurchase agreement, which represent a secured loan; must be reclassified to available for sale. Once said operations are completed, the referred instruments must be reclassified to their initial category, transferring the unrealized results to the results of the year.
b. "Investments to maturity" cannot be taken to another category, unless as a result of a change in the financial capacity to maintain an investment, the classification as held to maturity ceases to be appropriate; in this case it will be reclassified as "investment available for sale" and measured at fair value; the difference between its book value and fair value will be accounted for in accordance with the valuation criteria for said investment category.
c. If it were appropriate to account for an investment at amortized cost, instead of at its fair value, due to a change in the financial capacity of the company or when the period in which companies cannot classify as investment to maturity (established in the SBS regulation) has elapsed, the book amount of the fair value of the investment instrument on that date will become its new amortized cost, as the case may be. Any previous result of that instrument, which had previously been recognized in Other Comprehensive Income, will be accounted for as follows:
a) In the case of an investment instrument with a fixed maturity, the gain or loss will be taken to the results of the year over the remaining life of the investment held to maturity, using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between the new amortized cost and the amount at maturity will also be amortized over the remaining life of the investment instrument using the effective interest rate method, similarly to the amortization of a premium or discount. If the investment instrument subsequently suffers an impairment in value, any gain or loss that had been recognized in Other Comprehensive Income will be transferred and recognized in the results of the period.
b) In the case of an investment instrument that does not have a fixed maturity, the gain or loss will remain in equity until the investment instrument is sold or otherwise disposed of, at which time it will be recognized in the results of the period. If the investment instrument subsequently suffers an impairment of value, any previous result that had been recognized in Other Comprehensive Income will be transferred and recognized in the results of the period.
Companies that make category changes for the purpose of hiding losses and/or showing gains, or any use that the Superintendency considers inappropriate, will be prohibited from distributing dividends as provided in article 354° of the General Law.
The sale, transfer or reclassification of an instrument classified in this category before its maturity does not contradict the intention and capacity of the company to maintain them until their term, in any of the following circumstances:
a. They occur on a date very close to maturity, that is, less than 03 months from maturity, such that changes in market rates would not have a significant effect on fair value, or when 10% or less of the principal of the investment remains to be amortized according to the amortization plan of the investment instrument;
Los Laureles No. 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
b. They respond to isolated, uncontrollable or unexpected events, such as: the existence of financial difficulties of the issuer, a significant deterioration of the solvency or important variations in the credit risk of the issuer; changes in legislation or regulation; or other external events that could not have been foreseen at the time of the initial classification.
Nor does it contradict the intention and capacity of the company to maintain until maturity those investment instruments classified as investments to maturity, when said instruments are delivered as collateral, are transferred through a repurchase agreement of the same or are delivered in loan under the condition of return of an identical instrument, provided that, in all these cases, the company continues with the intention and remains contractually and financially in a position to maintain the investment until maturity.
In any of the cases described, the company must maintain information on each of the sales or transfers, which must be sent to the SBS and with the information that it requests.
Derivative financial products are instruments that meet three characteristics: i) their value changes in response to changes in a certain interest rate, in the price of a financial instrument, in the price of quoted raw materials, in the exchange rate, in the price index or interest rate, in a credit rating or index, or based on another variable, assuming that, in the case of a non-financial variable, it is not specific to one of the parties to the contract, ii) it requires initially a very small or null net investment compared to other contracts that respond similarly to changes in market variables, and, iii) it is settled on a future date.
Insurance companies may contract financial derivative products for hedging purposes, and may only trade financial derivative products for trading when they are investments in combined financial instruments that contain embedded derivatives.
The accounting treatment of financial derivative products shall adhere to the provisions set forth below, which incorporate the essential aspects of International Accounting Standard (IAS) No. 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" in force in Peru. Consequently, said IAS and its Application Guidance are applicable, insofar as they do not conflict with the treatment set forth below.
Initially, financial derivative products must be classified into one of the following two categories:
(a) Financial derivative products for trading; or,
(b) Financial derivative products for accounting hedging purposes.
All financial derivative products must be recorded at their fair value in the Statement of Financial Position, on the trade or contract date.
Simultaneously, they must be recorded in accounts 8005 "Rights from Financial Derivative Products" and 8203 "Obligations from Financial Derivative Products", as applicable, at their nominal or par value. The recording shall be made per contract. All contracts denominated in foreign currency must be recorded at the spot exchange rate. When a contract involves two currencies other than the national currency, it shall be treated as a purchase or a sale depending on the position (long or short, respectively) in the currency in which the agreed nominal amount is expressed.
Subsequently, changes in the fair value of financial derivative products for trading shall be recorded in the subaccounts of the income and expense accounts, 5607.01 "Income from Financial Derivative Products for Trading", and 4607.01 "Expenses from Financial Derivative Products for Trading", with the corresponding offsetting entries in accounts 1605.01 "Financial Derivative Products for Trading" or 2005.01 "Financial Derivative Products for Trading", as applicable to income or expense, respectively.
Los Laureles No. 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
Gains and losses from exchange differences shall be recorded in analytical accounts 5609.03.05 and 4605.03.05, respectively.
Subsequently, changes in the fair value of financial derivative products for hedging purposes shall be recorded depending on the type of accounting hedge. Accounting hedges can be of two types:
1. Fair value hedge
2. Cash flow hedge
3. Hedges of net investment in foreign operations
In a fair value accounting hedge, both the financial derivative product and the hedged item are measured and recognized at fair value, affecting the income and expense accounts, recorded as follows:
i) Gains or losses from changes in the fair value of the financial derivative product are recognized in the results of the period, recorded in analytical accounts 5607.02.01 and 4607.02.01, with the corresponding offsetting entries in analytical accounts 1605.02.01 and 2005.02.01, as applicable to income or expense, respectively.
ii) The gain or loss on the attributable hedged item, which is a financial asset or liability, from changes in fair value, shall be recognized in the results of the period, recording the adjustments in analytical accounts 5607.03.01 and 4607.03.01, with the corresponding offsetting entries in the corresponding asset and liability accounts of the hedged items.
iii) Under this accounting method, the general rule of affecting the adjustments of a financial derivative product is not changed, but the accounting record of those asset or liability items that were not recognized at fair value is changed.
The gain or loss from exchange differences of financial derivative products shall be recorded in analytical accounts 5609.03.06 and 4605.03.06, respectively.
In a fair value hedge that qualifies as a macro-hedge, the treatment shall be as follows:
i) The fair value adjustments of the financial derivative product shall be recognized as gains or losses recorded in analytical accounts 5607.02.03 and 4607.02.03, with the corresponding offsetting entries in analytical accounts 1605.02.03 and 2005.02.03, as applicable to income or expense, respectively.
ii) The gain or loss on the attributable hedged item, from changes in fair value, shall be recognized in the results of the period, recording the adjustments in analytical accounts 5607.03.02 and 4607.03.02, with the corresponding offsetting entries in accounts 1605.03 and 2005.03, respectively.
The gain or loss from exchange differences of financial derivative products shall be recorded in analytical accounts 5609.03.06 and 4605.03.06, respectively.
A properly designated, documented, and highly effective cash flow accounting hedge shall be accounted for as follows:
i) The effective portion of the fair value adjustments of the derivative financial product is recognized in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in equity account 3504 "Unrealized results from cash flow hedges" with the analytical accounts 1605.02.02 and 2005.02.02 named "Cash flow hedges" as counterpart, as applicable to a gain or a loss, respectively. Such adjustment shall correspond to the lower value, in absolute terms, between: a) the valuation of the derivative financial products, accumulated since the inception of the hedge; and, b) the cumulative change since the inception of the hedge in the fair value of the expected cash flows of the hedged item.
Los Laureles No. 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
ii) The ineffective portion of the derivative financial product shall be recognized in income and expenses, analytical accounts 4607.02.02 and 5607.02.02 named "Cash Flow Hedges", with the analytical accounts 1605.02.02 and 2005.02.02 named "Cash flow hedges" as counterpart, as applicable to a gain or a loss, respectively.
Thus, cash flow hedge accounting affects the accounting treatment of the derivative financial product but not of the hedged item.
The gains and losses recognized in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in equity account 3504 shall be reclassified from equity to profit or loss as follows:
a) If the hedge of a forecast transaction results in a financial asset or liability, the loss or gain recognized in Other Comprehensive Income shall be reclassified from equity to profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecast cash flows affect the profit or loss for the year. If there is evidence that part or all of the amount recognized in equity will not be recovered, the amount not expected to be recovered shall be recognized in the profit or loss for the year.
b) If the hedge of a forecast transaction results in a non-financial asset or liability, the loss or gain recognized in other comprehensive income shall be derecognized and included in the cost of acquisition of the non-financial asset or liability.
c) In the case of cash flow hedges other than those indicated in a) and b), the amounts that were recognized in Other Comprehensive Income shall be reclassified from equity to profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecast cash flows affect the profit or loss for the year.
The gain or loss from exchange differences of derivative financial products that are part of a cash flow hedge shall be recorded in analytical accounts 5609.03.06 and 4605.03.06, respectively.
The definitions of foreign operation and net investment in a foreign operation are the same as those indicated in IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates". Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation, including the hedge of a monetary item that is accounted for as part of a net investment, shall be accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges.
Upon discontinuation of hedge accounting, the following treatment shall be followed, on a prospective basis:
a) The amount of the adjustment resulting from accounting for hedged items that are accounted for at amortized cost at fair value shall be amortized against profit or loss for the year following the effective interest rate method, recalculated at the date on which the amortization begins.
b) Exceptionally, in the case of a hedge of the fair value exposure to interest rate risk, when amortization using the effective interest rate is impracticable, amortization shall be performed on a straight-line basis.
a) If the hedging product matures, is sold, settled or exercised, or the hedge ceases to meet the requirements to be accounted for as a hedge, the accumulated gain or loss of the hedging instrument that has been recognized in Other Comprehensive Income shall continue separately in equity until the forecast transaction takes place. When this occurs, the criteria indicated in a), b) and c) of section 2 on cash flow hedging, indicated above, shall be followed.
b) If the forecast transaction is not expected to occur, the gain or loss accounted for in equity accounts shall be recognized in the profit or loss for the year.
Los Laureles No. 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
c) If the company revokes the designation, the gain or loss accounted for in equity accounts shall be maintained until the forecast transaction occurs. When this happens, it shall be accounted for in accordance with the criteria indicated in a), b) and c) of section 2 on cash flow hedging, indicated above. If the transaction is not expected to occur, the accumulated result in equity accounts shall be recognized directly in the profit or loss for the year.
Complex financial instruments: They can be of two types:
a) Combined financial instruments: They are contracts that simultaneously include a principal contract different from a derivative together with a financial derivative, called an embedded derivative, which is not individually transferable and which has the effect that some of the cash flows of the hybrid contract vary in the same way as it would if considered in isolation.
b) Compound financial instruments: These are contracts that, for their issuer, simultaneously create a financial liability and an equity instrument, such as a convertible bond that grants the holder of the compound instrument the right to convert it into equity instruments of the issuing entity. Compound financial instruments for the issuer are hybrid financial instruments for the acquiring entity.
This category includes accounts receivable arising from insurance, co-insurance and reinsurance operations, as well as other receivables whose collection is of a determined or determinable amount, which are not traded in an active market and which are different from those classified in the other asset categories, such as accounts receivable from insurance operations, accounts receivable from reinsurers and co-insurers, and miscellaneous accounts receivable. Assets that do not allow substantial recovery of the entire initial investment, due to circumstances other than their credit impairment, are not included.
No offsetting should be made between accounts receivable and payable from reinsurance and/or co-insurance contracts, unless there is an offsetting agreement or commitment that permits it.
Failure to pay according to the schedule established in the Payment Agreement that supports the payment of premiums results in the suspension of insurance coverage. During the suspension period, companies must keep the corresponding technical reserves constituted. Termination of the contract prior to the end of its term determines the reversal of unpaid unearned premiums as well as the corresponding technical reserves.
Premiums receivable:
1) The calculation base is the amount of the commercial premium, which does not consider the corresponding tax. The date from which impairment is determined is the date that initiates the default according to SBS regulations.
2) Unpaid premiums with an age equal to or greater than ninety (90) days must be provisioned for their full amount.
3) Unpaid premiums with an age equal to or greater than sixty (60) days shall be provisioned applying a coefficient of at least 50%.
4) Premiums claimed judicially: shall be provisioned individually based on the circumstances of each case.
5) For the purposes of calculating impairment, companies must consider the entire outstanding amount payable, even if the payment term has not yet expired.
6) Gains or losses shall be recognized in profit or loss for the period when the asset is derecognized or has become impaired, and through the amortization process.
7) Impairment shall be recognized through a valuation account (provision) charged to profit or loss.
Accounts receivable from reinsurance and co-insurance:
1) Accounts maintained without movement for periods equal to or greater than six (6) months must be provisioned for fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the individual debtor items or the net debtor balance, as applicable.
Los Laureles No. 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
2) Those maintained without movement for periods equal to or greater than twelve (12) months must be provisioned for one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the individual debtor items or the net debtor balance, as applicable.
3) The provision corresponding to automatic reinsurance contracts shall be made for the net debtor balance of the respective current account with each reinsurer. In the case of facultative reinsurance contracts, excess of loss, catastrophic risks and other types of contracts other than automatic reinsurance contracts, the provision shall be made for the amount of the individual items that prove to be uncollectible. In both cases, the terms established in the preceding subparagraphs shall apply.
4) Impairment shall be recognized through a valuation account (provision) charged to profit or loss.
Companies must evaluate the situations described below, which could determine confirmation of non-compliance with the obligation by reinsurers:
a) Express denial of payment of the claim by the reinsurer and/or co-insurer with an age equal to or greater than six (6) months, counted from the date they become aware of the final adjustment of the claim.
b) Litigation in judicial and arbitration proceedings with reinsurers and/or co-insurers for collection of rights arising from the reinsurance contract, when there is objective evidence of a negative outcome for the company.
c) Balances receivable from inactive current accounts with reinsurers, with an age greater than twenty-four (24) months.
If the situations described above are confirmed, the company must directly impair the receivable item charged to profit or loss.
The determination of impairment shall be subject to the provisions applicable to financial system companies in the corresponding regulations, and a valuation account that accumulates the impairment must be used for its recording.
The determination of impairment is subject to the provisions of IAS 39, and a valuation account that accumulates the impairment must be used for its recording.
An entity shall derecognize a financial asset, including securitizations and any other type that involves a transfer of financial assets, when, and only when:
(a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; or
(b) the financial asset is transferred and meets the conditions for derecognition of the asset, as established in the following subparagraph.
The term transferred financial asset is used in this Conceptual Framework interchangeably to refer to all or a part of a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets.
An entity shall have transferred a financial asset if, and only if:
(a) it has transferred the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of a financial asset; or
(b) it retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay them to one or more recipients. When this occurs, the entity shall treat the transaction as a transfer of financial assets if, and only if, the following three conditions are met:
i) The entity is not obligated to pay any amount to the eventual recipients unless it collects equivalent amounts from the original asset. Short-term advances made by the entity, with the right to full recovery of the amount plus accrued interest at market rates, do not violate this condition.
Los Laureles No. 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
ii) The entity is prohibited, under the terms of the transfer contract, from selling or pledging the original asset, except as security for payment of the cash flows committed to the eventual recipients.
iii) The entity is obligated to remit without significant delay any cash flow it collects on behalf of the eventual recipients. In addition, the entity is not entitled to reinvest the cash flows, except in cash or cash equivalents during the short settlement period from the collection date to the remittance date agreed with the eventual recipients, provided that the interest generated by such investments is also delivered to the eventual recipients.
When an entity transfers a financial asset, it shall evaluate the extent to which it retains the risks and rewards inherent in its ownership. In this case:
(a) If the entity transfers substantially the risks and rewards inherent in the ownership of the financial asset, it shall derecognize it and recognize separately, as assets or liabilities, any rights and obligations created or retained as a result of the transfer.
(b) If the entity retains substantially the risks and rewards inherent in the ownership of a financial asset, it shall continue to recognize it.
(c) If the entity neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards inherent in the ownership of the financial asset, it shall determine whether it has retained control over the financial asset. In this case:
(i) If the entity has not retained control, it shall derecognize the financial asset and recognize separately, as assets or liabilities, any rights or obligations created or retained as a result of the transfer.
(ii) If the entity has retained control, it shall continue to recognize the financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the financial asset.
Real estate is classified according to the predominant use of each property. Depending on this, it may be classified under investments (item 17), or under Property, furniture and equipment (item 18).
For the accounting record of the assets under item 18, the requirements established by IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment" must be applied, except for the revaluation model option, and the disclosure requirements related to that model.
Entities shall adopt the cost model as the only subsequent recognition model. In this regard, such items shall be accounted for at their acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and the accumulated amount of impairment losses (in accordance with IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets"). It should be noted that depreciation of an asset shall begin when it is available for use, that is, when it is in the location and in the conditions necessary to be able to operate in the manner intended by management.
The entity shall choose to record and depreciate separately the parts that make up an item of property, plant and equipment or treat it as a single item for recording and depreciation purposes.
In a finance lease transaction, the items of real estate, furniture and equipment shall adhere to the cost model of IAS 16.
The guidelines of IAS 23 shall be considered for the treatment of borrowing costs.
Real estate is classified according to the predominant use of each property. Depending on this, it may be classified under investments (item 17), or under real estate, furniture and equipment (item 18).
Los Laureles No. 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
Investment properties are real estate held to obtain rents, capital gains or both, rather than for: (a) use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes; or (b) sale in the ordinary course of operations.
Investment properties generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets held by the entity.
Investment properties shall be measured initially at fair value, which shall correspond to the transaction price, unless there is evidence to the contrary. Transaction costs shall be included in the initial measurement. Such cost comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure.
For subsequent recognition purposes, entities shall choose as an accounting policy between the cost model or the fair value model, and shall apply that policy to all their investments in real estate.
The company that chooses the cost model will measure its investments in real estate by applying the requirements established in IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment" for said model.
The evaluation of impairment of investments in real estate measured at cost will be carried out on the date of preparation of quarterly financial statements. The determination of impairment, as well as its accounting, will be carried out in accordance with IAS 36.
For the purposes of disclosing the fair value of these investments in notes to the financial statements, the commercial value determined in an appraisal by an appraiser registered in the Registry of Appraisers (REPEV) of the SBS will be considered. The updating of the commercial value, for disclosure purposes, will be on the date of preparation of the annual financial statements.
For the valuation of investments in real estate under the fair value model, companies must have authorization from the SBS.
For the valuation of investments in real estate that generate periodic rents or flows, the discounted cash flow methodology must be used. In the case of investments in real estate that do not generate periodic rents or flows, the commercial value determined by appraisal must be used.
If the fair value is determined by the commercial value obtained in an appraisal, the company must update said value at the close of the date of preparation of annual financial statements. The appraisal must be carried out by an appraiser registered in the Registry of Appraisers (REPEV) maintained by the SBS.
In the event of significant changes in the commercial value, the SBS may order appraisals to be carried out in periods shorter than indicated and require the corresponding adjustment.
In the case of investments in real estate that generate periodic rents or flows, for updating purposes, the corresponding adjustments must be made at least at the close of the date of preparation of quarterly financial statements. In the event of significant changes in fair value, the SBS may additionally require appraisals, which must be carried out by appraisers registered in the REPEV.
Gains or losses derived from a change in the fair value of an investment in real estate will be included in the result for the year.
The provisions in paragraphs 32A and 34 of IAS 40 will not apply.
Deferred taxes must be treated in accordance with the liability method of IAS 12. The fundamental principle of this standard is the recognition of a deferred tax asset (liability) when it is probable that the recovery or settlement thereof will give rise to future tax payments lower or higher than those that would have been made if there were no temporary differences.
Los Laureles No. 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
Intangible assets are recorded in accordance with IAS 38 Intangible Assets; goodwill or mercantile goodwill originating in a business combination is recorded in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 3 "Business Combinations".
Intangible assets with a finite useful life will be amortized over a maximum period of 5 years. The amortization method adopted may not be modified without prior authorization from the Superintendency.
Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, within which goodwill or mercantile goodwill is included, generated as of 1 January 2010 will be recognized at cost less accumulated impairment. The company will analyze impairment at least annually, and must prepare a special report on the evaluation of goodwill, duly documented and supported, which must be available to the Superintendency. Likewise, the Superintendency may require a special impairment report issued by professionals independent of the company.
Goodwill or mercantile goodwill, originating prior to 1 January 2010, will continue to be amortized in accordance with the accounting standards in force at the date of its incorporation into assets, with a maximum period of 5 years.
Goodwill or mercantile goodwill, originating prior to 1 January 2010 and presenting a balance (net of accumulated amortization) at that date, may be adapted to the new provisions established in this Conceptual Accounting Framework retroactively, with prior authorization from the Superintendency, and must comply with the impairment evaluation requirements established in the IFRS, and provided that: i) the valuations and other information necessary to apply IFRS 3 have been obtained by the company in such a way that it is not necessary to make estimates that should have been made at an earlier date; and ii) the company applies the IFRS corresponding to asset impairment and intangible assets prospectively from that same date.
The Superintendency may require a special impairment report issued by professionals independent of the company.
The effect produced by the retroactive application will be recorded against the accounts of item 38 Accumulated Results, and must be disclosed in notes to the financial statements.
IAS 21 provides that when the reporting entity prepares its financial statements, it must determine its functional currency and calculate its results and financial position using that currency. The functional currency is defined as that which corresponds to the primary economic environment in which the entity operates.
For the purposes of transactions in foreign currency, the following will be taken into account:
Functional currency: The functional currency is the nuevo sol.
Foreign currency: It is any currency other than the functional currency.
Presentation currency: It is the currency in which the financial statements are presented, which will be in the legal currency of the country, that is, the nuevo sol.
Accounting exchange rate: Exchange rate established by the Superintendency on a daily basis.
Los Laureles No. 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
Allocation by currency: For the assignment of the currency, the following guidelines must be considered:
a) Assets and liabilities, except those indicated in the following subparagraphs, shall be denominated in the currency in which they were agreed.
b) Debt instruments issued or acquired shall be denominated in the currency in which their repayment occurs, regardless of the currency in which they were received or paid.
c) Equity instruments, in the currency in which the issuer expresses the nominal value.
d) Tangible assets, in the legal currency of the country.
e) Commitments or contingencies, as well as provisions for litigation and others, in the currency in which they will be settled.
f) Provisions for assets, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, write-downs or impairment, in the currency in which the assets are denominated.
g) Income and expenses shall be denominated according to the currency of origin of the corresponding assets and liabilities.
Valuation of items in foreign currency: The elements of the financial statements shall be recognized according to the following rules:
(a) Initial recognition: Transactions in foreign currency shall be recorded, at the time of initial recognition, using the functional currency. For this purpose, the amounts in foreign currency shall be converted to the functional currency by applying the accounting exchange rate of the transaction date.
(b) Subsequent recognition At the close of each reporting period, the following guidelines shall be followed:
a. Monetary assets and liabilities shall be converted using the closing accounting exchange rate.
b. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, not measured at fair value, shall be converted at the exchange rate of the transaction date.
c. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value shall be converted at the accounting exchange rate of the date on which the fair value was determined.
Recognition of exchange differences: The recognition of exchange differences shall be subject to the following guidelines:
a. Exchange differences arising from the settlement of monetary assets and liabilities, or from converting such items at exchange rates different from those used for their initial recognition, which have occurred during the year or during previous financial statements, shall be recognized in the profit or loss for the year in which they occur. This treatment does not apply to the exchange difference arising from a monetary item that forms part of an investment in a foreign operation of the entity, which shall be subject to the provisions of subparagraph c of this section.
b. When a loss or gain derived from a non-monetary item is recognized in Other Comprehensive Income, any exchange difference included in that loss or gain shall also be recognized in Other Comprehensive Income. In the case of non-monetary items, whose losses and gains are recognized in the profit or loss for the year, any exchange difference included in that loss or gain shall also be recognized in the profit or loss for the year.
c. Exchange differences arising from a monetary item that forms part of a net investment in a foreign operation shall be recognized in Other Comprehensive Income, and shall be reclassified to profit or loss when the disposal of the foreign operation occurs. "Net investment in a foreign operation" is understood as the entity's participation, which it presents in its financial statements, in the net assets of said operation.
Recording and presentation in the financial statements: Items in foreign currency (currency other than the functional currency) that are converted to the presentation currency (the nuevo sol) shall be recorded and presented in the statement of financial position and in comprehensive income, according to the following:
Los Laureles No. 214 - Lima 27 - Peru Tel.: (511)6309000 Fax: (511) 6309239
a. If the transaction corresponds to operations in nuevos soles: The third digit 1 shall be used and it shall be presented in the financial statements in the National Currency column.
b. If the transaction corresponds to operations in currencies other than the legal currency of the country (nuevo sol): The third digit 2 shall be used and it shall be presented in the financial statements in the Foreign Currency column.
Treatment of exchange differences in derivative financial instruments: The guidelines established in this section do not apply to derivative financial instruments, which shall be governed by their specific rules.
Changes in accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and correction of errors shall be made in accordance with IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors", except in the following cases:
a) The effect of the correction of errors corresponding to investments shall be recognized in the profit or loss for the period.
b) When an accounting standard issued by this Superintendency specifies a specific treatment.
The effect of changes in accounting policies and correction of errors shall be recorded in subaccounts 3801.01 "Accumulated profit with capitalization agreement", 3801.02 "Accumulated profit without capitalization agreement", or 3802.01 "Accumulated losses from previous years", as applicable, except in the cases provided for in a) and b).
Those assets whose carrying amount will be recovered fundamentally through a sale and not through their continued use shall be classified in this category. For this, the asset must be available for immediate sale, subject to the terms for the sale of such assets, and the sale must be highly probable. These assets must be measured at the lower of their carrying amount and their fair value less costs to sell.
An impairment loss shall be recognized due to initial or subsequent reductions in the value of the asset, down to fair value less costs to sell.
