Insurance: Statutory Reporting – January 2026

Issues & Trends | January 2026

We summarize new and revised statutory accounting standards for financial reporting by insurers in 2025, 2026 and thereafter.

Applicability

  • All insurance companies

Key impacts

Effective for 2025 reporting:

  • SSAP No. 1 (1) added restricted asset disclosure for modified coinsurance (Modco) and funds withheld assets reported on a cedent’s financial statements and a reconciliation between the restricted assets in the disclosure and those reported in the general interrogatories and (2) expanded disclosures for restricted assets to identify whether the modco and funds withheld assets are related to or affiliated with the reinsurer.
  • SSAP No. 2 further restricted the investments that are reported as cash equivalents or short-term investments.
  • SSAP No. 26 clarified the granularity of the disclosure of book adjusted carrying values, fair values and unrealized gains or losses of bonds.
  • SSAP No. 21 added the earned yield with a cap method (the Allowable Earned Yield method) to measure residual tranches or interests, with a practical expedient that allows the use of the cost recovery method.
  • SSAP Nos. 34, 48, 93 and 94 updated guidance for tax credit investments by expanding the scope of SSAP Nos. 93 and 94 and adding consistency between SSAPs.
  • INT 05-05 and INT 24-02 added guidance for the Medicare Part D Prescription Payment Program.
  • INT 23-01 extended the effective date to December 31, 2026, clarified guidance and established an additional current-period admittance limit of net negative interest maintenance reserve.
  • SSAP No. 61 and the Question and Answer of Appendix A-791 added guidance on risk transfer for contracts with interdependent features, including combination coinsurance and yearly renewable term reinsurance contracts.

Effective for 2026 and later reporting:

  • SSAP Nos. 2, 21, 26, 30, 32 and 43 added an aggregate disclosure of key investment information by type of private placement investment and identified private placements in the investment schedules in the Annual Statement.
  • SSAP No. 56 updated recognition and measurement guidance for the transfer of assets in exchange for cash between the general account and book value separate accounts.
