CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
1.1 Background Of The Study
Insurance accounting as related to insurance company is a district and specialized account that is always referred to as ‘specialized account” just like taxation is a specialized area. Though it employs the general accounting principles, concepts and conventions, there are needs for a clear understanding of its preparations.
In the days of T-form presentation of financial statement an insurance company account could be easily recognized from the sides of the “T” to which income and expenditure items are posted, they are not in conventional form. The convention was placing revenue to the right of the “T” insurance company revenue items to the left of the “T’ and expenditure items to the right.
Nowadays, there are other features that distinguish accounting system in insurance industry or company or company’s from their accounting system, they are:
- Requirement by law for remitting of quarterly and annual returns to central bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Nigerian Insurance supervisory bank (NISB).
- Prescription by law of the type and level of investment of insurance
- Requirement by law for condition of returns to the Nigerian Insurance supervision board (NISB) with stated deadline.
- Requirement by law of the maintenance reserves known as “TECHNICAL RESEARVES” comprising of insurance funds, reserves for outstanding losses reserves for incurred but not reported and contingency reserves.
All these are in addition to rendition of the required returns to the corporate affairs commission (CAC) being and incorporated company under in pursuant to the companies and allied matters decree (CAMD) 1991.
From the above, it can therefore be seen that without a proper understanding of intricacies involved in both the interpretation of the decree as well as items that makes up insurance accounts and right treatment is afforded to the financial statement as narrated wil not give a true and fair view of the statement of affairs and of profit and loss for the period.
Having read and studied the above insurance industry, the researcher felt it work bring out a detailed research work in order to benefit the students in higher institutions and readers alike.
