Calculate Accounts #

You calculate single accounts for one or more accounting years depending on the Cession-/Accounting bases of the business.

  2. Select Edit from the menu button in the lower right corner
  3. Define Cession- and Accounting Bases.

Create Single Accounts #

Single accounts can be created manually. This functionality may be relevant if only a few accounts are to be created or when single accounts are required in addition to the accounts already being calculated.

NOTE - the following for Proportional Treaty Outward Cedent’s Contract;

If you create Accounts in addition to the calculated Accounts for the same Accounting Year/Period, the result produced by the Retrocession (Estimation) Calculation Order and Retrocession Account Order may be unpredictable (e.g. for Accounting Year 2016, 1st and 2nd Half-Year Accounts are already calculated. If you then create an additional Yearly Account for the same Accounting Year, you may receive unexpected result in Proportional Treaty Retrocession Accounting).

Also if you create Accounts with Accounting Year higher than the value in the last Account Year, the result may be unpredictable as Portfolio Withdrawal/Entry is calculated in the Last Account of the Insured Period i.e. the year value in the field ‘Last Accounting Year’
