Introduction to IFRS
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are Standards, Interpretations and the Framework adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Many of the standards forming part of IFRS are known by the older name of International Accounting Standards (IAS). IAS was issued between 1973 and 2001 by the Board of the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC). On 1 April 2001, the new IASB took over from the IASC the responsibility for setting International Accounting Standards. During its first meeting the new Board adopted existing IAS and SIC (Standing Interpretations Committee). The IASB has continued to develop standards calling the new standards IFRS. In recent years, there has been a clear trend toward International Accounting Standards [now known as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)] as the single body of internationally accepted accounting standards. What is significant about this trend is the circumstance in which IFRS are now used. Historically, IFRS were used on a voluntary basis. Today, more and more jurisdictions are now requiring companies to use IFRS for local reporting or listing purposes. In many cases, domestic as well as foreign companies are subject to these requirements.

What factors contribute to the trend toward IFRS?


A number of factors have contributed to the trend toward IFRS. These include the following:

Securities regulators and national accounting standard-setters have been seeking approaches in their standard-setting processes that are consistent with those of other standard-setters. Users of financial information (i.e., analysts and investors) have encouraged the development of standards that provide transparent reporting in a consistent and comparable fashion worldwide. Companies have been applying their local standards, which may permit more than one approach to an accounting issue, in a manner consistent with IFRS.

How IFRS will change the global reporting environment


As this environment continues to evolve, there will be a further convergence of accounting and financial reporting standards worldwide. Over the last few years, there has been a clear trend toward IFRS as the single body of internationally accepted accounting standards. This means that the U.S. reporting environment is now an integral part of a larger global reporting environment. No longer are standards developed in the vacuum of the domestic environment only. It also means that the standards will be written differently than in the past. Emphasis will now be on underlying concepts and principles versus a set of rules. As a result, the application of those standards will require more professional judgment than in the past.

Summaries of International Financial Reporting Standards

IFRS Reports
IFRS With-Profit Analysis of Change Report: This is a key control in the reporting process and enables to identify the main causes of change in IFRS Balance Sheet for With Profit (WP) business between two given point of time and provides reconciliation between RBS working capital and IFRS UDS. It provides the necessary information required for the submission of IFRS reporting. It helps the management to understand the factors causing an increase or decrease in UDS and the areas for which they may need to take measures. The report provides analysis of change between the opening (as on Period Start date) and closing (as on Period End date) positions of the IFRS Balance Sheet and covers the movement in each of the components of: 1. Realistic value of Assets - Regulatory value of assets, Excess admissible assets, Present Value of future profits (Non-Profit) 2. Realistic value of Liabilities - With Profit Benefit Reserve (WPBR), Planned enhancements to WPBR, Planned deductions from WPBR, Future costs of contractual guarantees, Future costs of non-contractual commitments, Future costs of financial options, Future costs of smoothing, PV of shareholder transfers charged to Estate, PV charges vs. expenses, Any other long-term insurance liabilities, Realistic current liabilities IFRS With-Profit Sensitivities Report: The purpose of the With Profit Sensitivities report is to measure the impact that varying scenarios (economic and business related) would have on the base IFRS results. The movements of the following variables are tracked to show the impact that each has on the IFRS Balance Sheet. Annuitant mortality Assurance mortality Credit spread Equity value Expenses Interest Property value IFRS Non-Profit Analysis of Change Report: This is a key control in the reporting process and enables to identify the main causes of change in IFRS Balance Sheet for Non Profit (NP) business between two given point of time. It provides the necessary information required for the submission of IFRS reporting. It helps the management to understand the factors causing an increase or decrease in IFRS profit and the areas for which they may need to take measures. 3

The report provides analysis of change between the opening (as on Period Start date) and closing (as on Period End date) positions of the following Reporting measures: IFRS Profit (excluding DAC) Gross Profit Gross PVFP DAC (Deferred Acquisition Cost) DIR (Deferred Income Reserve) Assets IFRS Reserves

IFRS Non-Profit Sensitivities Report: The purpose of the Non Profit Sensitivities report is to measure the impact that varying scenarios (economic and business related) would have on the base IFRS Profit (excluding DAC), Gross Profit, Gross PVFP, DAC, Assets and IFRS Reserves. The movements of the following variables are tracked to show the impact each has on the above measures: Annuitant mortality Assurance mortality Credit spread Equity value Expenses Interest Property value IFRS Non-Profit DAC-DIR Analysis of Change Report: This is a key control in the reporting process and enables to identify the main causes of change in DAC & DIR variables for Non Profit business between two given point of time. It provides the necessary information required for the submission of IFRS reporting. IFRS Non-Profit DAC-DIR Sensitivities Report: The purpose of the Non Profit DAC-DIR Sensitivities report is to measure the impact that varying scenarios (economic and business related) would have on the DAC and DIR variables. The movements of the following variables are tracked to show the impact each has on the above measures: Annuitant mortality Assurance mortality Credit spread Equity value Expenses Interest Property value Non-Profit Account-Actuarial Reconciliation Report: The purpose of this report is to reconcile Accounting Revenue data with Actuarial Revenue Account (Expected) and Actuarial Revenue Account (Actual) data for the Non Profit business. The reconciliation is required for the following broad categories of measures between Accounting and Actuarial figures: Premium Switch Claim Commission Charges Expenses Investment return 4

Shareholder transfer Tax No Actual Cashflow

To support above set of reports, below generic logical model is proposed.

Logical Data Model - How this is generic?


The standard principles and reports for IFRS will remain the same across organizations. However the hierarchies might vary across organizations. There will be standard set of attributes associated with the industry like policies, funds, organizations, products but there might be organization specific attributes like line of business, agents or agencies etc; In this Logical data model following are the dimensions that have been used: 1. Organization Dimension: This dimension provides information relating to fund such as fund code, fund name, legal entity name, and fund type name and business unit name.

2. Report item dimension: This dimension stores hierarchy of related measures that will be displayed on the report for each of the types of values of the IFRS report and gives the business a logical break down of additive report items.

3. Step Dimension: This dimension stores a list of steps required for the IFRS reporting. A step is the line item that is displayed on the report. All these line items are stored as keys in the fact so that when the report is generated a correct combination of the measure for the given step is displayed on the report.

4. Product Dimension: This dimension holds the information related to products like product type, product codes within the organization.

5. Product Type Dimension: This dimension holds the information related to type of the product within the organization.

6. Business Type dimension: This dimension holds the information related new business or existing business within the organization.

7. Date Dimension: This dimension hold the date hierarchy followed by the organization.

8. Policy Dimension: Provides Policy specific information, it is instrumental for facilitating policy level analysis.

9. Data source Dimension: Each of the measures used for defining the IFRS principles is sourced from different sources and at different grains or levels. This dimension identifies the source and grain of the data.

10. Policy Profile Dimension: Provides information relating to the volatile attributes of a policy such as term, payment frequency, paid up indicator, and joint life indicator.

11. Life Assured Demographic Dimension OR Policy holder Demographic dimension: Provides information relating to Age, Gender, Occupation and Smoker Status for either or both lives assured within a policy. This Logical Data model is scalable and can be extended or customized to incorporate the organization specific attributes.

All the above fact tables are YTD facts. Since the volume of data in the YTD (Year to Date) fact will be huge there is a proposed YTD Aggregate fact which can be used to stores data aggregated to Product level and used for generating reports that need data only at product level for faster response to queries. But that again is an individual decision of the organizations which adopt this Generic Logical data model. Again it is re emphasized that this Data model is scalable and can be customized by adding or removing dimension based of the structure of the business of the customers adopting this model.
