PART VIRULES FOR DETERMINING PROVISIONS

Long term business provision

37.—(1) The long term business provision must in principle be computed separately for each long term contract, save that statistical or mathematical methods may be used where they may be expected to give approximately the same results as individual calculations.

(2) A summary of the principal assumptions in making the provision under subparagraph (1) must be given in the notes to the accounts.

(3) The computation must be made annually by a Fellow of the Institute or Faculty of Actuaries on the basis of recognised actuarial methods, with due regard to the actuarial principles laid down in the Friendly Societies (Authorisation) Regulations 1994(1).
