Report Of External Consultants On


Board Appraisal

NEM INSURANCE PLC


In line with the provisions of Principle 14.1 of the National Code of Corporate Governance, Section 15.1 of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) Code of Corporate Governance, SIAO was engaged by NEM Insurance Plc. to carry out an
evaluation of the performance of the Board of directors, and an assessment of the Company’s corporate governance structure
for the year ended 31st December 2023. A summary of our findings are as follows:

The Board is composed of a mix of executives and non-executives which indicates that the non-executives are in greater
proportion than the executives. The proportion of executives to non-executives is 1:4. Members are individuals of diverse
professional backgrounds and business experience. Among the non-executives are: An astute insurer, a risk management
expert, a foremost industrialist and economics expert, an experienced auditor, a lawyer and management expert, as well as an
investment specialist. The Executive Directors are qualified professionals with cognate experience in their areas of specialization
and vast knowledge of Insurance business and its operating terrain. Members possess the requisite qualification and experience
required for their positions and have been bringing their experience to bear in directing the affairs of the Company which has
since been reflected in the performance of the company over the years.

In accordance with the NAICOM Code, the Board Chairman is a Non-Executive Director; there is a clear delineation of
responsibilities between the position of the MD and the Chairman while no one individual occupies the two positions at the
same time avoiding the issue of executive duality. The two individuals are not members of the same family.

The Operations/Processes of the Board were managed within the context of regulatory requirements and in accordance with
Best Practices. Accordingly, the Board held five meetings during the year under review and attendance was outstanding
whereby each member met the 75% minimum requirement prescribed in The Code in respect of attendance. A Committee
structure comprising of the minimum requirement of the NAICOM Code was institutionalized and the committees were provided
with the required Terms of Reference. The agenda contained issues meant for the attention of the Board and the preparation of
the agenda was flexible in allowing all members to introduce relevant subject matters to the Board.

Adequate notice was given for meetings and Board materials were circulated promptly to members which allowed them
adequate time to prepare for the meetings. Members were given equal opportunity and they made cogent contributions to
deliberations and most decisions were arrived at by consensus. The Board enjoys a cordial working relationship and meetings
were conducted in an atmosphere devoid of rancor. The above review suggests that the composition and Processes/Operations
of the Board meet most of the parameters of the NAICOM Code.

Members performed their oversight responsibilities with respect to the activities of management in particular as regards the
Group’s growth strategy, its Financial Performance, Business Prospects as well as status of Regulatory Compliance.

Following the recommendation made to the Board, particularly the regularization of its size, we observed that the Board has
instituted the required mechanism to address the issue in order to enhance its governance practices.

Following the recommendation made to the Board, particularly the inclusion of individuals with expertise in other key business
areas, we observed that the Board has instituted the required mechanism to address the issue in order to enhance its governance
practices.

Management’s Report On The


Effectiveness Of Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting
The management of NEM Insurance Company Plc (“the Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting as required by the Securities and Exchange Act, 2007 and the

The management of NEM Insurance Plc assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
of the Company and its subsidiaries (together ”the Group”) as of 31 December 2023 using the criteria set forth
in Internal Control—2013 Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (“the COSO Framework”) and in accordance with the SEC Guidance on Implementation of
Sections 60 – 63 of Investments and Securities Act, 2007.

As of December 31, 2023, the management of NEM Insurance Plc did not identify any material weakness.

As a result, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, the Group’s internal control over financial
reporting was effective.

The Company’s independent auditor, KPMG Professional Services, who audited the consolidated and separate
financial statements included in this Annual Report, issued an unmodified conclusion on the effectiveness of
the Group’s internal control over financial reporting as of 31 December 2023 based on the limited assurance
engagement performed by them.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred subsequent to the date of our
evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting that significantly affected, or are reasonably
likely to significantly affect, the Group’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements

Opinion
We have audited the consolidated and separate financial statements of NEM Insurance Plc (“the Company”) and
its subsidiaries (together, “the Group”), which comprise:
•• the consolidated and separate statements of financial position as at 31 December 2023;
•• the consolidated and separate statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income;
•• the consolidated and separate statements of changes in equity;
•• the consolidated and separate statements of cash flows for the year then ended; and
•• the notes, comprising material accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated and separate financial statements give a true and fair view of the
consolidated and separate financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2023, and
of its consolidated and separate financial performance and its consolidated and separate cash flows for the year
then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board (IFRS Accounting Standards) and in the manner required by the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA),
2020 and the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (Amendment) Act, 2023, the Insurance Act 2003 and relevant
National Insurance Commission of Nigeria (“NAICOM”) Circulars.

Basis for Opinion


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the consolidated and separate
Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group and Company in accordance with
International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants
(including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are
relevant to our audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements in Nigeria and we have fulfilled our
other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters


Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
consolidated and separate financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context
of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a
separate opinion on these matters.

Adoption of IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts


On 1 January 2023, the Group adopted IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts which replaced the existing standard for
insurance contracts IFRS 4. The adoption of IFRS 17 was done on a retrospective basis which had an impact
on the Group’s January 1, 2022 opening equity balances. IFRS 17 is a complex accounting standard requiring
considerable judgment and interpretation in its implementation, and significantly modifies the accounting criteria for
the recognition and measurement of insurance contracts.

w w w. n e m - i n s u r a n c e . c o m 91
Independent Auditor’s Report Cont’d

In adopting the new standard, the Group used significant judgment in developing and implementing accounting
policies, including policies specific to transition. In particular, the determination of the measurement models (general
model or premium allocation approach) to apply under the standard, the determination of risk adjustment and
onerous contract methodologies, and the determination of the discount rate, were deemed to be significant to the
overall impact of transition. The new standard has also had a significant impact on the disclosures in the financial
statements.

Due to the significance of the changes introduced by the standard, we considered the transition to the new standard
to be a key audit matter.

Refer to the following notes in the consolidated and separate financial statements: Note 1.5.8 Judgments, Estimates
and Assumptions on Transition to IFRS 17 and Note 3.33 Transition Policy and adjustments.

How the matter was addressed in our audit


Our audit procedures included the following:
•• With the assistance of our actuarial specialist, we performed the following procedures:
•• We assessed the significant judgements used by the Group to determine the relevant accounting policies
against the requirements of IFRS 17. These included judgements used to determine the measurement
models adopted, risk adjustment, onerous contracts and discount rates used.
•• We evaluated the appropriateness of the Premium Allocation Approach for insurance and reinsurance
contracts with coverage periods greater than one year, including testing the relevant supporting data, the
significant assumptions used, and the accuracy of models used.
•• We evaluated the appropriateness of the methodology used to determine the risk adjustment, including
assessing the underlying discounted cash flow model and significant assumptions.
•• We assessed the updated discounting methodology, including the determination of the illiquidity premium
against the requirements of the standard and compared to external market data where available.
•• We tested the supporting calculations related to the material transition adjustments at 1 January 2022, with
the standard applied retrospectively.

••  e also assessed the reasonableness of the new and restated disclosures in the consolidated and separate
W
financial report against the requirements of IFRS 17.

Valuation of insurance contract liabilities


As at 31 December 2023, the Group had insurance contract liabilities of N25.29 billion (2022: N14.67 billion). The
measurement of insurance liabilities consists of the liability for remaining coverage (LRC) and the liability for incurred
claims (LIC) including both reported but not settled claims as well as incurred but not reported claims (IBNR).

The Group adopted IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts from 1 January 2023 and comparative figures have been
restated. The Group primarily uses the Premium Allocation Approach (PAA) under IFRS 17. The PAA is applied for
the measurement of the groups of insurance contracts.

92 w w w. n e m - i n s u r a n c e . c o m
Independent Auditor’s Report Cont’d

The result of management’s assessments regarding the calculation of the liability for incurred claims depends
on inputs, the choice of actuarial methods and the precision of management judgment in determining actuarial
assumptions. Key assumptions with the greatest impact on the carrying amount include inflation, discount rates as
well as estimated future payments for claims.

Valuation of insurance contract liabilities requires significant management judgement and accounting assumptions
about uncertain future events, which may materially affect the carrying amount, and thus is a key audit matter.

Refer to the following notes in the consolidated and separate financial statements: Note 1.5.4 Judgments,
Estimates and Assumptions on Insurance Contracts liabilities, Note 3 IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts Accounting
Policies, Note 6 Reinsurance contract assets, Note 15 Insurance Contract Liabilities and Note 49 Financial Risk
Management Policy – Management of financial and insurance risk section.

How the matter was addressed in our audit


Our audit procedures included the following:
•• We evaluated the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of key controls implemented by the
Group and the Company which includes management review of data used for the valuation of insurance con-
tract liabilities
•• We evaluated the Group’s methodology to determine and allocate expected premium receipts to periods.
•• We tested the completeness and accuracy of the databases used in determining the assumptions, as well as
on actuarial calculations.
•• We considered the Group’s valuation methodology and assumptions for consistency between reporting peri-
ods, as well as for indicators of possible bias.
•• Assisted by our actuarial specialists, we performed the following procedures:
•• We evaluated management’s PAA eligibility assessment.
•• We evaluated the appropriateness of methods/models and assumptions to determine ultimate expected
claims including ultimate claims ratios, frequency and severity of claims, payment patterns and estimate
discount rate curves.
•• We performed walkthroughs on the computation of insurance revenue for selected portfolios for each
cohort under PAA.
•• We assessed the assumptions used in estimating risk adjustments to evaluate whether it is in line with the
requirements of the relevant accounting standard and industry practices.
•• We assessed whether the method/ model for determining future cash flows is in line with the requirements
of the relevant accounting standard and standard industry practices.
•• We assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures in the consolidated and separate financial statements
with regard to the liability for incurred claims associated with the premium allocation approach, considering the
requirements of IFRS 17.

Other Matter
The consolidated and separate financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 were audited by another
auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those consolidated and separate financial statements on 28
March 2023.

Other Information
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Corporate Information,
Results at a Glance, Reports of Directors, Report of external consultants on Board Appraisal, Statement of Directors’
responsibilities, Statement of Corporate responsibilities, , Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report,
Report of the Audit and Compliance Committee and Other national disclosures which we obtained to the date of
this auditor’s report, but does not include the consolidated and separate financial statements and our auditor’s
report thereon.

Other information also include Notice of 54th Annual General Meeting, Message from the Chairman, GMD/CEO
Report, Profile of the Board of Directors, Management Team Profile, Proxy Form, Shareholder’s information,
E-dividend Mandate Activation Form, together the “outstanding reports”, which are expected to be made available
to us after that date.

Our opinion on the consolidated and separate financial statements does not cover the other information and we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information identified above and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the consolidated and separate financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we have
obtained prior to the date of the auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

When we read the outstanding reports, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required
to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
The Directors are responsible for the preparation of consolidated and separate financial statements that give a
true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and in the manner required by the Companies
and Allied Matters Act (CAMA), 2020 and the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (Amendment) Act, 2023, the
Insurance Act 2003 and relevant National Insurance Commission of Nigeria (“NAICOM”) Circulars, and for such
internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated and separate financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the
Group and Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group
and Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

94 w w w. n e m - i n s u r a n c e . c o m
Independent Auditor’s Report Cont’d

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated and separate financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
•• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated and separate financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
••  btain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
O
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Group and Company’s internal control.
••  valuate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
E
and related disclosures made by the directors.
••  onclude on the appropriateness of directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
C
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Group and Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in
the consolidated and separate financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opin-
ion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However,
future events or conditions may cause the Group and Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
••  valuate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated and separate financial statements,
E
including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated and separate financial statements represent the un-
derlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
••  btain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business ac-
O
tivities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible
for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit
opinion.

We communicate with the Audit and Compliance Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.

We also provide the Audit and Compliance Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or
safeguards applied.

1.1 Going Concern


These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The Group has no intention or need
to reduce substantially its business operations, the management believes that the going concern assumption
is appropriate for the Group due to sufficient capital adequacy ratio and projected liquidity, based on historical
experience that short-term obligations will be refinanced in the normal course of the business. Liquidity ratio and
continuous evaluation of current ratio of the group is carried out by the group to ensure that there are no going
concern threats to the operations of the group.

1.2 Basis of Preparation and Compliance with IFRS


The Group’s financial statements for the year 2023 have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS Accounting
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS Accounting Standards), Companies
and Allied Matters Act, 2020, Insurance Act CAP I17, LFN 2004 and Prudential Guidelines issued by National
insurance Commission and Investment and Securities Act 2007.

1.2.1 Foreign currency translation

1.3 Critical Accounting Estimates, Judgments and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires the use of certain
critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the
Group’s accounting policies. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and
various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis of making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Changes in
assumptions may have a significant impact on the financial statements in the period the assumptions changed.
Management believes that the underlying assumptions are appropriate and that the Group’s financial statements
therefore present the financial positions and results fairly. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or
complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are material to the financial statements are disclosed in
Note 1.5.

1.4 Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions


The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revision to accounting estimates
are recognized in the year in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that year or if the revision
affects both current and future years.

Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies
that have the most material effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are described below:

1.4.1 Income Taxes


Significant estimates are required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and
calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax
issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters
is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred
tax provisions.

1.4.2 Retirement Benefits


The present value of the retirement benefit obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an
actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount
of gratuity obligations. The assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) for gratuity include the discount
rate, rate of return on assets, future salary increments and mortality rates.

The Group determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of the year. This is the interest rate that should be
used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the gratuity
obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Group considers the interest rates of high-quality
government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to
maturity approximating the terms of the related gratuity liability. Other key assumptions for gratuity obligations are
based in part on current market conditions.

In most cases, no explicit assumptions are made regarding the future rates of claims inflation or loss ratios. Instead,
the assumptions used are those implicit in the historical claims development data on which the projections are
based. Additional qualitative judgment is used to assess the extent to which past trends may not apply in future,
(e.g. to reflect one-off occurrences, changes in external or market factors such as public attitudes to claiming,
economic conditions, levels of claims inflation, judicial decisions and legislation, as well as internal factors such as
portfolio mix, policy features and claims handling procedures) in order to arrive at the estimated ultimate cost of
claims that present the likely outcome from the range of possible outcomes, taking account of all the uncertainties
involved.

Accounting Policies Cont’d
Similar judgments, estimates and assumptions are employed in the assessment of adequacy of provisions for
unearned premium. Judgment is also required in determining whether the pattern of insurance service provided by
a contract requires amortization of unearned premium on a basis other than time apportionment.

1.4.3 Fair Valuation of Investment Properties


The fair value of investment properties is based on the nature, location and condition of the specific asset. The
fair value is determined by reference to observable market prices. The fair value of investment property does not
reflect the related future benefits from this future expenditure. These valuations are performed annually by external
appraisers. Assumptions are made about expected future cash flows and the discounting rates.

1.4.4 Liability for remaining coverage (LRC) and Liability for Incurred claims (LIC)
The measurement of group’s liability resulting from the insurance contracts that it issues requires a significant use
of estimates and judgements. The group estimates the liability for future insurance contract obligations, taking into
account the expected cash flows for fulfilling these contracts. This involves making assumptions about future claim
payments, premium income, and discount rates. See note 2.38 for how the group recognises and measures this
liabilities.

1.4.5 Reinsurance contracts


The group assesses the impact of the reinsurance contracts that it hold on its financial statements, including
estimating the expected recoveries from reinsurers. This involves evaluating the terms of reinsurance agreements,
the creditworthiness of reinsurers, and the effect on the measurement of re-insurance contract assets and liabilities.
See note 2.45 for how the group recognises and measures reinsurance contracts.

1.4.6 Fulfillment Cash Flows


In estimating its liabilities and assets as it relates to insurance and reinsurance contracts, the group makes significant
assumptions relating to the future cash flows that will arise from fulfilling insurance contracts, considering variables
such as claims experience, lapses, and policyholder behavior. These estimates require judgment and are influenced
by historical data and actuarial projections. See note 2.37 for how the group determines and measures cashflows
relating to insurance and reinsurance contracts.

The group incorporates, in an unbiased way, all reasonable and supportable information that is available without
undue cost or effort at the reporting date. This information includes both internal and external historical data about
claims and other experience, updated to reflect current expectations of future events.The estimates of future cash
flows reflect the Group’s view of current conditions at the reporting date, using market variables consistent with
observable market prices, where applicable.

1.4.7 Risk adjustment


In the measurement of risk adjustment, the group makes use of significant judgements including estimations,
actuarial projections and historical data in determining a reasonable compensation for bearing non-financial risks as
it relates to insurance contracts that its issues. It also employs similar assumptions and methodoligies in estimating
the expected reinsurance portion or recoverrable as it relates to risk adjustment. See note 2.40 for the company’s
policy regarding the determination and measurement of risk adjustment.

1.4.8 IFRS 17 Transition


The measurement of the Group’s liability for the IFRS 17 transition resulting from the insurance contracts that
it issues requires a significant use of estimates and judgements. The Group estimates the IFRS 17 transition
insurance contract obligations, taking into account the contract’s fulfilment cashflows. The Group has applied
the full retrospective approach on transition to all short-term insurance contracts in force at the transition date.

All groups of insurance and Reinsurance contracts for which the full retrospective approach was impracticable-
modified retrospective approach was adopted. This involves making assumptions about future claim payments,
premium income, and discount rates. See note 2.53 for full disclosure of the group’s IFRS 17 transition policy.

1.4.9 Discount rates


The determination of appropriate discount rates to value future cash flows is critical in the application of IFRS 17. The
group considers factors such as the time value of money, credit risks and iliquidity premiums in selecting its discount
rates. Significant judgement is used by the group to ensure that the selected rates reflects the characteristics of
the cashflows and the risks associated with insurance contracts. See note 2.39 for the Group’s policy regarding
discount rates used in assessing insurance and reinsurance contracts.

1.5 Changes in material accounting policies

1.5.1 Material accounting policy information


The Group adopted Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2) from
1 January 2023. Although the amendments did not result in any changes to the accounting policies themselves,
they impacted the accounting policy information disclosed in the financial statements.

The amendments require the disclosure of ‘material’, rather than ‘significant’, accounting policies. The amendments
also provide guidance on the application of materiality to disclosure of accounting policies, assisting entities to
provide useful, entity-specific accounting policy information that users need to understand other information in the
financial statements.

Management reviewed the accounting policies and made updates to the information disclosed in Note 2 Material
accounting policies (2022: Significant accounting policies) in certain instances in line with the amendments.

1.5.2 New standards, interpretations and amendments effective from 1 January 2023
The effective interpretations and IFRS Accounting Standards that need to be considered for financial years ended
31 December 2023 are listed below:

Adoption of IFRS 17
The Group has initially applied IFRS 17, including any consequential amendments to other standards, from 1 January
2023. These standards have brought significant changes to the accounting for insurance and reinsurance contracts
and financial instruments. As a result, the Group has restated certain comparative amounts and presented a third
statement of financial position as at 1 January 2022. Except for the changes below, the Group has consistenly
applied the accounting policies as set out in to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

Under IFRS 17, insurance revenue in each reporting period represents the changes in the liabilities for remaining
coverage that relate to services for which the Group expects to receive consideration and an allocation of premiums
that relate to recovering insurance acquisition cash flows. In addition, investment components are no longer included
in insurance revenue and insurance service expenses. Insurance finance income and expenses are prsented in the
profit or loss separately from insurance revenue and insurance service expenses.

For an explanation of how the Group accounts for insurance and reinsurance contracts under IFRS 17, see Note
2.30 to 2.53.

1.5.3 New standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not yet effective
There are new or revised IFRS Accounting Standards and Interpretations in issue that are not yet effective. The
directors have considered all of these IFRS Accounting Standards and Interpretations and found none to be
applicable to the business of the entity and therefore do not expect any impact on future financial statements.

2 Material Accounting Policies


Material accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgements and uncertainties and
potentially give rise to different results under different assumptions and conditions.
The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these financial
statements.

2.1 Consolidation
(i) Business combination
The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the
Group. In determining whether an acquired set of activities and assets is a business, the Group assesses whether
the acquired set includes, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to
the ability to create outputs. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as
are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
Transaction costs are expensed as they are incurred, unless they are related to the issue of debt or equity securities.
The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such
amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent
consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured
and settlement is accounted for within equity. Other contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each
reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or
loss.
If share-based payment awards (replacement awards) are required to be exchanged for awards held by the
acquiree’s employees (acquiree’s awards), then all or a portion of the amount of the acquirer’s replacement awards
is included in measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination. This determination is based on
the market-based measure of the replacement awards compared with the market-based measure of the acquiree’s
awards and the extent to which the replacement awards relate to pre-combination service.

(ii) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights
to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power
over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from
the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.

w w w. n e m - i n s u r a n c e . c o m 101
NEM Insurance Plc
Annual Report & Accounts, 31 December, 2023

Statement Of Material
Accounting Policies Cont’d
Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity
transactions (transactions with owners). Any difference between the amount by which the non- controlling interest
is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to
the Group.

Inter- company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Companies within the Group
are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealized losses are also eliminated in the same manner as unrealized gains, but
only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Accounting policies of the subsidiary has been changed
where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Investment in the subsidiary in the
separate financial statements of the Company entity is measured at cost.

Acquisition - related costs are expensed as incurred.


If the business combination is achieved in stages, fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the
acquiree is re- measured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

(iii) Disposal of subsidiaries


On loss of control, the Group derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any controlling interests
and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control
is recognized in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is
measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently, that retained interest is accounted for as
an equity, accounted investment or as a financial asset under the Amortized Cost or Fair Value Through Other
Comprehensive Income category depending on business model intended and the level of influence retained.
(iv) Non-controlling interests (NCI)
NCI are initially measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the date of
acquisition. Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for
as equity transactions.

(v) Special purpose entities


Special purpose entities that are created to accomplish a narrow and well- defined objective such as the
securitization of particular assets, or the execution of specific borrowings or lending transactions or the provision
of certain benefits to employee.

The financial statements of special purpose entities are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements,
where the substance of the relationship is that the Group controls the special purpose entity.

(vi) Associates
In the financial statements, the Company’s investment in its associate is accounted for using the equity method
of accounting. An associate is an entity in which the Company has significant influence and which is neither a
subsidiary nor a joint venture.

Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus
post-acquisition changes in the Company’s share of net assets of the associate.

The share of profit of the associate is shown on the face of the income statement. This is profit attributable to
equity holders of the associate and, therefore, is profit after tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of
the associates.

2.2 Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand and at banks and highly liquid financial assets with original
maturities of less than three months, which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in their fair value, and are
used by the Group in the management of its short-term commitments. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying
value of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value, hence they are carried at fair value in the statement
of financial position.

2.3 Financial Instruments


2.3.1 Recognition
The Group on the date of origination or purchase recognizes placements, equity securities and deposits at the
fair value of consideration paid. Regular-way purchases and sales of financial assets shall be recognized on the
settlement date. All other financial assets and liabilities, including derivatives, shall be initially recognized on the
trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

2.3.2 Classification and Measurement


Initial measurement of a financial asset or liability shall be at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly
attributable to its purchase or issuance. For instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction
costs shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss. Financial assets include placement with banks, treasury bills
and equity instruments.

The Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories in line with the provisions of IFRS 9:
(a) Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
(b) Amortized Cost
(c) Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)

The Group shall classify its financial assets based on the business model for managing the assets and the asset’s
contractual cash flows characteristics.

Business Model Assessment


Business model assessment shall involve determining whether financial assets are managed in order to generate
cash flows from collection of contractual cash flows, selling financial assets or both. The Group shall assess
business model at a portfolio level reflective of how groups of assets are managed together to achieve a particular
business objective. For the assessment of business model the Group will take into consideration the following
factors:

The stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. In particular,
whether management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest revenue, maintaining a particular interest
rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of the liabilities that shall be funding those
assets or realizing cash flows through the sale of the assets;

(i) How the performance of assets in a portfolio will be evaluated and reported to the relevant heads of departments
and other key decision makers within the Group’s business lines;
(ii) The risks that affect the performance of assets held within a business model and how those risks shall be
managed;
(iii) How compensation shall be determined for the Group’s business lines, management that manages the assets;
and
(iv) The frequency and volume of sales in prior periods and expectations about future sales activity.

NEM Insurance Plc
Annual Report & Accounts, 31 December, 2023

Statement Of Material
Accounting Policies Cont’d
Management shall determine the classification of the financial instruments at initial recognition. The business model
assessment falls under three categories:

I) Business Model 1(BM1): Financial assets held with the sole objective to collect contractual cash flows
II) Business Model 2 (BM2): Financial assets held with the objective of both collecting contractual cash flows and
selling; and
III) Business Model 3 (BM3): Financial assets held with neither of the objectives mentioned in BM1 or BM2 above.

These shall be basically financial assets held with the sole objective to trade and to realize fair value changes.
The Group may decide to sell financial instruments held under the BM1 category with the objective to collect
contractual cash flows without necessarily changing its business model if one or more of the following conditions
shall be met:

(i) Where these sales shall be infrequent even if significant in value. A Sale of financial assets shall be considered
infrequent if the sale shall be one-off during the Financial Year and/or occurs at most once during the quarter
or at most three (3) times within the Financial Year.
(ii) Where these sales shall be insignificant in value both individually and in aggregate, even if frequent. A sale shall
be considered insignificant if the portion of the financial assets sold shall be equal to or less than five (5) per
cent of the carrying amount (book value) of the total assets within the business model.
(iii) When these sales shall be made close to the maturity of the financial assets and the proceeds from the
sales approximates the collection of the remaining contractual cash flows. A sale is considered to be close to
maturity if the financial asset has a tenor to maturity of not more than one (1) year and/or the difference between
the remaining contractual cash flows expected from the financial asset does not exceed the cash flows from
the sales by ten (10) per cent.

Other reasons: The following reasons outlined below may constitute ‘Other Reasons’ that may necessitate selling
financial assets from the BM1 category that will not constitute a change in business model:
1. Selling the financial asset to realize cash to deal with unforeseen need for liquidity (infrequent).
2. Selling the financial asset to manage credit concentration risk (infrequent)
3. Selling the financial asset as a result of changes in tax laws (infrequent).
4. Other situations also depend upon the facts and circumstances which need to be judged by the Management

Cash flows Characteristics Assessment


The Group shall assess the contractual features of an instrument to determine if they give rise to cash that shall be
consistent with a basic investment arrangement.

Contractual cash flows shall be consistent with a basic deposit arrangement if they represent cash flows that are
solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (SPPI).

Principal shall be defined as the fair value of the instrument at initial recognition. Principal may change over the life
of the instruments due to repayments. Interest shall be defined as consideration for the time value of money and
the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding and for other basic lending risks and costs (liquidity
risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.

A. Classification of Financial Assets


a) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
Financial assets shall be measured at amortized cost if they are held within a business model whose objective shall
be to hold for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal
and interest. After initial measurement, debt instruments in this category shall be carried at amortized cost using

104 w w w. n e m - i n s u r a n c e . c o m
NEM Insurance Plc
Annual Report & Accounts, 31 December, 2023

Statement Of Material
Accounting Policies Cont’d
the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate shall be the rate that discounts estimated future cash
payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial
asset. Amortized cost shall be calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition, transaction
costs and fees that shall be an integral part of the effective interest rate. Amortization shall be included in Interest
income in the Consolidated Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive Income. Impairment on financial
assets measured at amortized cost shall be calculated using the expected credit loss approach.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost shall be presented net of the allowance for credit losses (ACL) in the
statement of financial position.

b) Financial assets measured at FVOCI


Financial assets shall be measured at FVOCI if they are to be held within a business model whose
objective shall be to hold for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling financial assets, where
the assets’ cash flows represent payments that shall be solely payments of principal and interest.
Subsequent to initial recognition, unrealized gains and losses on debt instruments measured at FVOCI shall be
recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).

c) Financial assets measured at FVTPL


Financial assets measured at FVTPL include assets held for trading purposes, assets held as part of a portfolio
managed on a fair value basis and assets whose cash flows do not represent payments that shall be solely
payments of principal and interest. Financial assets may also be designated at FVTPL if by so doing eliminates or
significantly reduces an accounting mismatch which would otherwise arise. These instruments shall be measured
at fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, with transaction costs recognized immediately in
the Consolidated Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive Income.

d) Equity Investments
Equity instruments shall be measured at FVTPL, unless an election is made to designate them at FVOCI upon
purchase. For equity instruments measured at FVTPL, changes in fair value shall be recognized in the Consolidated
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. The Group can elect to classify non-trading equity
instruments at FVOCI. This election will be used for certain equity investments for strategic or longer term investment
purposes. The FVOCI election shall be made upon initial recognition, on an instrument-by-instrument basis and
once made shall be irrevocable. Gains and losses on these instruments including when derecognized/sold shall
be recorded in OCI and shall not be subsequently reclassified to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and
Other Comprehensive Income.

Dividends received shall be recorded in Interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income. Any transaction costs incurred upon purchase of the security shall be added to the
cost basis of the security and shall not be reclassified to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income on sale of the security.

B. Classification of Financial Liabilities


Financial liabilities shall be classified into one of the following measurement categories:
a) Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
b) Amortized cost

(a) Financial Liabilities at fair value through profit or loss


Financial liabilities accounted for at fair value through profit or loss fall into two categories:
Financial liabilities held for trading and Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss on inception
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss shall be financial liabilities held for trading. A financial

liability shall be classified as held for trading if it shall be incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing
it in the near term or if it shall be part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that shall be managed
together and for which there shall be evidence of a recent actual pattern of profit-taking. Derivatives shall
also be categorized as held for trading unless they shall be designated and effective as hedging instruments.
Financial liabilities held for trading also include obligations to deliver financial assets borrowed by a short seller.
Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of financial liabilities classified as held for trading shall be
included in the income statement and shall be reported as ‘Net gains/(losses) on financial instruments classified as
held for trading’. Interest expenses on financial liabilities held for trading shall be included in ‘Net interest income’.
Financial Liabilities shall be designated at FVTPL when either the designation eliminates or significantly reduces
an accounting mismatch which would otherwise arise or the financial liability contains one or more embedded
derivatives which significantly modify the cash flows otherwise required. For liabilities designated at fair value through
profit or loss, all changes in fair value shall be recognized in the Consolidated Statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive Income, except for changes in fair value arising from changes in the Group’s own credit risk which
shall be recognized in OCI. Changes in fair value of liabilities due to changes in the Group’s own credit risk, which
are recognized in OCI, shall not be subsequently reclassified to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and
Other Comprehensive Income upon derecognition/extinguishment of the liabilities.
(b) Financial Liabilities at amortized cost
Financial liabilities that are not classified at fair value through profit or loss fall into this category and shall be
measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost
shall be debt securities in issue for which the fair value option is not applied, convertible bonds and subordinated
debts.
C. Reclassifications
Financial assets shall not be reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except in the period after the Group
changes its business model for managing financial assets. A change in the Group’s business model will occur only
when the Group either begins or ceases to perform an activity that is significant to its operations such as:

- Significant internal restructuring or business combinations; for example: an acquisition of a private asset
management company that might necessitate transfer and sale of assets to willing buyers, this action will constitute
changes in business model and subsequent reclassification of the assets held from BM1 to BM2 Category.

Any other reason that might warrant a change in the Group’s business model are determined by management
based on facts and circumstances.

The following shall not be considered to be changes in the business model:


(a) A change in intention related to particular financial assets (even in circumstances of significant changes in
market conditions)
(b) A temporary disappearance of a particular market for financial assets.
(c) A transfer of financial assets between parts of the Group with different business models.

When reclassification occurs, the Group shall reclassify all affected financial assets in accordance with the new
business model. Reclassification shall be applied prospectively from the ‘reclassification date’. Reclassification date
shall be ‘the first day of the first reporting period following the change in business model. For example, if the Group
decides to shut down the retail business segment on 30 April 2020, the reclassification date will be 1 January,
2021 (i.e. the first day of the entity’s next reporting period), the Group shall not engage in activities consistent with
its former business model after 30 April, 2020. Gains, losses or interest previously recognized shall not be restated
when reclassification occurs.

2.3.3 Impairment Of Financial Assets
In line with IFRS 9, the Group assesses the under listed financial instruments for impairment using Expected Credit
Loss (ECL) approach:
1. Amortized cost financial assets; and
2. Debt securities classified as at FVOCI.
Equity instruments and financial assets measured at FVTPL shall not be subjected to impairment as it is not required
under the standard.
Expected Credit Loss Impairment Model
The Group’s allowance for credit losses calculations shall be outputs of models with a number of underlying
assumptions regarding the choice of variable inputs and their interdependencies. The expected credit loss
impairment model reflects the present value of all cash shortfalls related to default events either over the following
twelve months or over the expected life of a financial instrument depending on credit deterioration from inception.
The allowance for credit losses reflects an unbiased, probability-weighted outcome which considers multiple
scenarios based on reasonable and supportable forecasts.
The Group shall adopt a three-stage approach for impairment assessment based on changes in credit quality since
initial recognition.
Stage 1 – Where there has not been a Significant Increase in Credit Risk (SICR) since initial recognition of a financial
instrument, an amount equal to 12 months expected credit loss shall be recorded. The expected credit loss shall be
computed using a probability of default occurring over the next 12 months. For those instruments with a remaining
maturity of less than 12 months, a probability of default corresponding to remaining term to maturity shall be used.
Stage 2 – When a financial instrument experiences a SICR subsequent to origination but is not considered to
be in default, it shall be included in Stage 2. This requires the computation of expected credit loss based on the
probability of default over the remaining estimated life of the financial instrument.
Stage 3 – Financial instruments that are considered to be in default shall be included in this stage. Similar to Stage
2, the allowance for credit losses captures the lifetime expected credit losses.
The guiding principle for ECL model shall be to reflect the general pattern of deterioration or improvement in the
credit quality of financial instruments since initial recognition. The ECL allowance shall be based on credit losses
expected to arise over the life of the asset (life time expected credit loss), unless there has been no significant
increase in credit risk since origination. Examples of financial assets with low credit risk (no significant increase in
credit risk) include: Risk free and gilt edged debt investment securities that shall be determined to have low credit
risk at the reporting date; and Other financial instruments (other than lease receivables) on which credit risk has not
increased significantly since their initial recognition.
Measurement of Expected Credit Losses
The probability of default (PD), exposure at default (EAD), and loss given default (LGD) inputs used to estimate
expected credit losses shall be modelled based on macroeconomic variables that are most closely related with
credit losses in the relevant portfolio.

Details of these statistical parameters/inputs are as follows:


PD – The probability of default shall be an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. A default may
only happen at a certain time over the remaining estimated life, if the asset has not been previously derecognized
and are still in the portfolio.

w w w. n e m - i n s u r a n c e . c o m 107
NEM Insurance Plc
Annual Report & Accounts, 31 December, 2023

Statement Of Material
Accounting Policies Cont’d
12-month PDs – This is the estimated probability of default occurring within the next 12 months (or over the
remaining life of the financial instrument if that is less than 12 months). This shall be used to calculate 12-month
ECLs.

Lifetime PDs – This is the estimated probability of default occurring over the remaining life of the financial
instrument. This shall be used to calculate lifetime ECLs for “stage 2” and stage 3 exposures. PDs shall be limited
to the maximum exposure required by IFRS 9

EAD – The exposure at default shall be an estimate of the exposure at a future default date, taking into account
expected changes in the exposure after the reporting date, including repayments of principal and interest, whether
scheduled by contract or otherwise, expected drawdowns on committed facilities, and accrued interest from
missed payments.

LGD – The loss given default shall be an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given
time. It shall be based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would
expect to receive, including from the realization of any collateral. It shall be usually expressed as a percentage of
the EAD.

The measurement of expected credit losses for each stage and the assessment of significant increases in credit risk
considers information about past events and current conditions as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts
of future events and economic conditions. The estimation and application of forward-looking information requires
significant judgement.

The Group shall rely on a broad range of forward looking information as economic inputs, such as GDP growth,
unemployment rates, central bank base rates, crude oil prices, inflation rates and foreign exchange rates. The
inputs and models used for calculating expected credit losses may not always capture all characteristics of the
market at the date of the financial statements. To reflect this, qualitative adjustments or overlays shall be made as
temporary adjustments using expert credit judgement.

The Group shall determine allowance for credit losses using three probability-weighted forward looking scenarios. The
Group shall consider both internal and external sources of information in order to achieve an unbiased measure of the
scenarios used. The Group prepares the scenarios using forecasts generated by credible sources such as Business
Monitor International (BMI), International Monetary Fund (IMF), Nigeria Bureau of Statistics (NBS), World Bank, Central
Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Nigeria Insurers Association, Financial Markets Dealers Quotation (FMDQ), and Trading Economics.
The Group estimates three scenarios for each risk parameter (LGD, EAD, CCF and PD) – Normal, Upturn and
Downturn, which in turn shall be used in the estimation of the multiple scenario ECLs. The ‘normal case’ represents
the most likely outcome and shall be aligned with information used by the company for other purposes such as
strategic planning and budgeting. The other scenarios represent more optimistic and more pessimistic outcomes.
The Group has identified and documented key drivers of credit risk and credit losses for each portfolio of financial
instruments and, using an analysis of historical data, has estimated relationships between macro-economic
variables, credit risk and credit losses.

Assessment of significant increase in credit risk (SICR)


At each reporting date, the Group shall assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk for
exposures since initial recognition by comparing the risk of default occurring over the remaining expected life from
the reporting date and the date of initial recognition. The assessment considers borrower-specific quantitative
and qualitative information without consideration of collateral, and the impact of forward-looking macroeconomic
factors. The common assessments for SICR on retail and non-retail portfolios include macroeconomic outlook,
management judgement, and delinquency and monitoring. Forward looking macroeconomic factors shall be a key
component of the macroeconomic outlook. The importance and relevance of each specific macroeconomic factor

depends on the type of product, characteristics of the financial instruments and the borrower and the geographical
region.

The Group shall adopt a multi factor approach in assessing changes in credit risk. This approach considers:
Quantitative (primary), Qualitative (secondary) and Back stop indicators which are critical in allocating financial
assets into stages.

The quantitative models considers deterioration in the credit rating of obligor/counterparty based on the Group’s
internal rating system or External Credit Assessment Institutions (ECAI) while qualitative factors considers information
such as expected forbearance, restructuring, exposure classification by licensed credit bureau etc.

A backstop shall be used to ensure that in the (unlikely) event that the primary (quantitative) indicators do not
change and there is no trigger from the secondary (qualitative) indicators, an account that has breached the 30
days past due criteria for SICR and 90 days past due criteria for Default shall be transferred to stage 2 and stage
3 respectively except there is a reasonable and supportable evidence available without undue cost to rebut the
presumption.

Definition of Default and Credit Impaired Financial Assets


At each reporting date, the Group shall assess whether financial assets are credit impaired. A financial asset shall
be credit impaired when one or more of the following events have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash
flows of the financial asset:

•• Significant financial difficulty of the Issuer;


•• A breach of contract such as a default or past due event;
•• It is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization
•• The disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties

A debt that has been renegotiated due to a deterioration in the issuer’s condition shall be considered to be credit-
impaired unless there is evidence that the risk of not receiving contractual cash flows has reduced significantly and
there shall be no other indicators of impairment. In making an assessment of whether an investment in sovereign
debts is credit-impaired, the Group shall consider the following factors:

1. The market’s assessment of credit worthiness as reflected in the bond yields


2. The rating agencies’ assessments of credit worthiness
3. The country’s ability to access the capital markets for new debt issuance
4. The probability of debt being restructured, resulting in holders suffering losses through voluntary or mandatory
debt forgiveness
5.  The international support mechanisms in place to provide the necessary support as lender of last resort to
that country as well as the intention, reflected in public statements of governments and agencies to use those
mechanisms. This includes an assessment of the depth of those mechanisms and irrespective of the political
intent, whether there is the capacity to fulfil the required Criteria.

Presentation of allowance for ECL in the statement of financial position


Allowances for ECL shall be presented in the statement of financial position as follows:
•• Financial assets measured at amortized cost: as a deduction from the gross carrying amount of the assets
•• Financial assets measured at FVOCI: loss allowance shall be recognized in the statement of financial position
because the carrying amount of these assets shall be their fair value. However, the loss allowance shall be
disclosed and recognized in the fair value reserve.

Write-off
The Group writes off an impaired financial asset (and the related impairment allowance), either partially or in full,
when there shall be no realistic prospect of recovery. After a full evaluation of a non-performing exposure, in the
event that either one or all of the following conditions apply, such exposure shall be recommended for write-off
(either partially or in full):

•• Continued contact with the customer is impossible;


•• Recovery cost is expected to be higher than the outstanding debt;
•• Amount obtained from realization of credit collateral security leaves a balance of the debt; or
•• It is reasonably determined that no further recovery on the facility is possible.

2.4 Trade Receivables


This relates to premium due from brokers. Trade receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently
measured at amortized cost less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment is made when there is an
objective evidence (such as the probability of solvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtors) that the
Group will not be able to collect all the amount due based on the original terms of the invoice. Allowances are made
based on an impairment model which consider the loss given default for each customer, probability of default for
the sectors in which the customer belongs and emergence period which serves as an impairment trigger based on
the age of the debt. Impaired debts are derecognized when they are assessed as uncollectible. If in a subsequent
period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event
occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previous recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent
that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost at the reversed date. Any subsequent
reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the profit or loss.

2.5 Trade Payables


This relates to outstanding balances to the Group’s reinsurance brokers. These amounts are initially recognized at
recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The fair value of a non-interest bearing liability is its discounted repayment amount. If the due date of the liability is
less than one year discounting is omitted.

2.6 Other Receivables And Prepayments


2.6.1 Other receivables
Other receivables are made up of amounts due from parties which are not directly linked to insurance or invest-
ment contracts. Other receivables are stated after deductions of amount considered bad or doubtful of recovery.
When a debt is deemed not collectible, it is written-off against the related provision or directly to the profit or loss
to the extent not previously provided for. Any subsequent recovery of written-off debts is credited to the profit or
loss.

2.6.2 Prepayments
Prepayments are carried at cost less amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

2.7 Investment In Associate


In the separate financial statements of NEM Insurance Plc, investment in associate is accounted for using the
equity method of accounting.

Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is carried in the statement of financial position at cost
plus post-acquisition changes in the Company’s share of net assets of the associate.

Annual Report & Accounts, 31 December, 2023

Statement Of Material
Accounting Policies Cont’d
The share of profit of the associate is shown on the face of the income statement. This is profit attributable to
equity holders of the associate and, therefore, is profit after tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of
the associates.

2.8 Investment in Subsidiary


In the separate financial statements of NEM Insurance Plc, investment in subsidiary is accounted for at cost less
impairment.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date the Group acquires control, up to the date
that such effective control ceases. For the purpose of these financial statements, subsidiaries are entities over
which the Group, directly or indirectly, has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain
benefits from their activities. Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are
accounted for as equity transactions (transactions with owners). Any difference between the amount by which the
non-controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in
equity and attributed to the Group.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Companies within the Group
are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealized losses are also eliminated in the same manner as unrealized gains, but
only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

On loss of control, the Group de-recognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any controlling interests and
the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising from the loss of control is
recognized in income statement.

If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date
that control is lost. Subsequently, that retained interest is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or as fair
value through other comprehensive income financial asset depending on the level of influence retained.

2.9 Investment Properties


Properties that are held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both and that are insignificantly
occupied by the entities in the group are classified as investment properties. These properties consist of land and
buildings.

Recognition of investment properties takes place only when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are
associated with the investment property will flow to the entity and the cost can be measured reliably.

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount includes the
cost of replacing parts of an existing investment property at the time the cost was incurred if the recognition criteria
are met and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition,
investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market condition at the date of the consolidated
statement of financial position.

Gains or losses arising from the changes in the fair value of investment properties are included in the consolidated
income statement in the year in which they arise. Subsequent expenditure is included in the assets carrying amount
only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of
the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the consolidated income
statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. The fair value of investment property is based on
the nature, location and condition of the specific asset.

Rent receivable is recognized in profit or loss and is spread on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Where lease incentive, such as a rent free period is given to a Lessee, the carrying value of the related investment
property excludes any amount reported as a separate asset as a result of recognizing rental income on this basis.

2.10 Statutory Deposit


Statutory deposit represents 10% of the paid up capital of the Company deposited with the Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN) in pursuant to Section 10(3) of the Insurance Act of Nigeria CAP I17, 2004. Statutory deposit is measured
at cost.

2.11 Intangible Assets


(i) Software
Software acquired by the Group is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Expenditure on internally developed software is recognized as an asset when the Group is able to demonstrate
its intention and ability to complete the development and use the software in a manner that will generate future
economic benefits and can reliably measure the costs to complete the development. Development costs previously
expensed cannot be capitalized. The capitalized costs of internally developed software include all costs attributable
to developing the software and capitalized borrowing costs and are amortized over its useful life. Subsequent
expenditure on software assets is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the
specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is expensed as incurred. Amortization is recognized in profit
or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, from the date that it is available for use
since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in
the asset. The maximum useful life of software is five years. Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values
are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate.

(ii) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the
Company acquired at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less
accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses in goodwill are not reversed.

2.12 Property, Plant and Equipment


(i) Recognition and measurement
Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Land is subsequently carried at revalued amount being
the fair value at the date of revaluation, while buildings are subsequently carried at revalued amount being the
fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated
impairment losses. Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity such that the carrying amount does not differ
materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting period. The Group
revalues its land and building every three years in line with relevant provisions of International Accounting Standard
(IAS) 16.

All other property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Any increase in an asset’s carrying amount,
as a result of revaluation is credited to other comprehensive income and accumulated in Revaluation Surplus within
Revaluation reserves in equity. The increase is recognized in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a decrease
of the same asset previously recognized in profit or loss.

(ii) Subsequent costs


The cost of replacing part of an item of property or equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it
is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be

measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing
of property and equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is recognized in Profit or Loss and is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of
the assets. Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and adjusted
when necessary. No depreciation is charged on property, plant and equipment until they are available for use. The
company recognizes full depreciation on the year of purchase and zero depreciation on the year of disposal. The
average useful lives per class of asset are as follows:

Assets class Average


useful life
Land Nil
Building under Construction Nil
Buildings 2%
Machinery and equipment 20%
Motor vehicles 20%
Furniture and fittings 20%
Computer equipment 20%

(iv) De-recognition
An item of property and equipment is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected
from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset which is calculated as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is included in profit or loss in the year the
asset is derecognized.

2.13 Leases
The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys
the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Group as a lessee
The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and
leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets
representing the right to use the underlying assets.

(i) Right-of-use assets


The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying
asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes
the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the
commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line
basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets unless the title to the asset
transfers at the end of the lease term.

Statement Of Material
Accounting Policies Cont’d
(ii) Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value
of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-
substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index
or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The company separates the lease
components from the non-lease components before arriving at the lease liability. The lease payments also include
the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties
for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the
lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the
commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for
the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification,
a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a
change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to
purchase the underlying asset.
2.14 Other Payables
Other payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest method. The fair value of a non-interest bearing liability is its discounted repayment amount. If the due date
of the liability is less than one year discounting is omitted.
2.15 Retirement Obligations And Employee Benefits
The Group operates the following contribution and benefit schemes for its employees:
(i) Defined benefit gratuity scheme
The Group has a defined benefit gratuity scheme for management and non-management staff. Under this scheme,
a specified amount as determined by actuarial valuation is contributed by the Group and charged to the income
statement over the service life of each employee.
Employees are entitled to gratuity after completing a minimum of five continuous full years of service. The gratuity
obligation is calculated annually by Independent Actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present
value of the gratuity obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using market
yields on high quality corporate bonds (except where there is no deep market in such bonds, in which case the
discount rate is based on market yields on Government bonds). The liability recognized in the statement of financial
position in respect of defined benefit gratuity plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the date
of the statement of the financial position less the fair value of plan assets. Actuarial gains or losses arising from the
valuation are credited or charged to Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) in the financial year in which they arise.
(ii) Defined contribution pension scheme
In line with the provisions of the Nigerian Pension Reform Act, 2014, the Group has instituted a defined contributory
pension scheme for its employees. The scheme is funded by fixed contributions from employees and the Group
at the rate of 8% by employees and 10% by the Group of basic salary, transport and housing allowances invested
outside the Group through Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) of the employee’s choice. The Group has no further
payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit
expenses when they are due.

(iii) Short-term benefits


Wages, salaries, paid annual leave, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are recognized as employee benefit
expenses and paid in arrears when the associated services are rendered by the employees of the Group.

2.16 INCOME TAX
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax

(i) Current income tax


Income tax payable is calculated on the basis of the applicable tax law in the respective jurisdiction and is recognized
as an expense for the period except to the extent that current tax related to items that are charged or credited in
other comprehensive income or directly to equity.

(ii) Deferred income tax


Deferred income tax is provided using liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using
tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the date of the consolidated statement of financial
position and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income
tax liability is settled.

The principal temporary differences arise from depreciation of property, plant and equipment, revaluation of certain
financial assets and liabilities and in relation to acquisitions on the difference between the fair values of the net
assets acquired and their tax base.

However, deferred income tax is not recognized for:

(a) Temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill

(b) Temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business
combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

(c) Temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it is probable that they will not
reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which these
temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities against
current tax assets, and they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity or on
different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and
liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

2.17 Share Capital and Premium


Ordinary shares are classified as equity when there is no obligation to transfer cash or other assets. Incremental
costs directly attributable to the issue of equity instruments are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds,
net of tax. Share premium accounts for the amount the Group raises in excess of par value.

2.18 Contingency Reserve


Contingency reserve is credited at the higher of 3% of total premiums during the year and 20% of net profit per year,
until it reaches the higher of the minimum paid up capital or 50% of net premium in accordance with Section 21 (2)
of the Insurance Act CAP I17, LFN 2004.

2.19 Asset Revaluation Reserve
When the Group’s land and building are revalued by independent professional valuer, surpluses arising on the
revaluation of these assets are credited to the asset revaluation reserve account. When assets previously revalued
are disposed off, any revaluation surplus relating to the disposed assets is transferred to retained earnings.

2.20 Retained Earnings


This represents the accumulated profits of the company which are available for dividend distribution to the equity
shareholders of the Group.

2.21 Fvoci Reserve


FVOCI reserve comprises the cumulative net change in the fair value of the Group’s investments categorized as Fair
Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI). Net fair value movements are recycled to income statement
if an investment categorized as Amortized Cost is either derecognized or impaired.

2.22 Other Reserves - Employee Benefit Actuarial Surplus


Actuarial surplus/deficit on employee benefits represent changes in benefit obligation due to changes in actuarial
valuation assumptions or actual experience differing from experience. The gains/losses for the year, net of applicable
deferred tax assets/liability on employee benefit obligation, are recognized in other comprehensive income.

2.23 Foreign Currency Translation


(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entities operate (the ‘functional currency’). The consolidated financial
statements are presented in Nigerian Naira (N), which is the Group’s presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances


Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the
dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions
and from the translation at year-ends exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to financial assets are presented in the income statement within ‘Net
foreign exchange gain’. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement within
‘Other operating income’ or ‘ Other operating expenses’.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the
exchange rate at the reporting date. Groups of insurance and reinsurance contracts that generate cash flows in a
foreign currency are treated as monetary items.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the
functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value is determined. Non-monetary items that are measured
based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

2.24 Investment Income


(a) Dividend income
Dividend income from equities is recognized when the right to receive payment is established, this is the ex-dividend
date for equity securities.

(b) Interest income and expense
Interest income on financial assets that are classified as amortized cost and interest expense on financial liabilities
other than those at FVTPL are determined using the effective Interest rate method. Interest income is calculated by
applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of financial assets, except for financial assets that
have subsequently become credit-impaired (or stage 3), for which interest revenue is calculated by applying the
effective interest rate to their amortized cost (i.e. net of the expected credit loss provision). Interest income on assets
classified as amortized cost are recognized in investment income.

2.25 Management Expenses


Management expenses are expenses other than claims, investment expenses, employee benefit, expenses for
marketing and administration and underwriting expenses. They include rents, professional fee, depreciation
expenses and other non-operating expenses. Management expenses are accounted for on accrual basis and
recognized in the income statement upon utilization of the service or at the date of their origin.

2.26 Segment Reporting


An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it can earn
and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transaction with any of the Group’s other
components, whose revenues and operating results are reviewed regularly by Executive Management to make
decisions about the resources allocated to each segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete
financial information is available. All costs that are directly traceable to the operating segments are allocated to the
segment concerned while indirect costs are allocated based on the benefits derived from such costs.

2.27 Contingent Liabilities


Contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed
only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of
the Group or the Group has a present obligation as a result of past events which is not recognized because it is
not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; or the amount cannot be reliably
estimated. Contingent liabilities normally comprise of legal claims under arbitration or court process in respect of
which a liability is not likely to crystallize.

2.28 Other Insurance Contract Liabilities


Other insurance contract liabilities refers to financial obligations arising from the group’s insurance business that are
basically outside the scope of the definition of insurance contracts. The group consistently evaluents these liabilities
and measures them at fair value at each reporting date.

2.30 IFRS 17-INSURANCE CONTRACTS ACCOUNTING POLICIES


2.31 Key types of insurance contracts issued, and reinsurance contracts held.
Non-Life Business - The Group issues non-life insurance to individuals and commercial businesses. Non-life insurance
products offered include Motor, Property, Marine & Aviation, Bond, Engineering, Oil and Gas, fire, Agriculture and
General Accident. These products offer financial protection to policyholder’s assets and indemnification of other
parties against financial loss prompted by the action of the policyholder.

The Group accounts for these contracts applying the principles underlying International Financial Reporting Standard
(IFRS17) Insurance Contracts and other relevant accounting standards issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board( IASB). The Group also holds appropriate types of reinsurance contracts to mitigate risk exposure,
including: proportional and non-proportional facultative arrangements.

2.32 Definition and Classification of Insurance contracts
Products sold by the Group are classified as insurance contracts when the Group accepts significant insurance
risk from a policyholder by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event adversely
affects the policyholder’s finances.
The Group’s accounting and financial assessment are made on a cohort basis and on a contract-by-contract basis
at the contract issue date. In making this assessment, the Group considers all its substantive rights and obligations,
whether they arise from contract, law or regulation.
The Group determines whether a contract contains significant insurance risk by assessing if an insured event
could cause the Group to pay to the policyholder additional amounts that are significant in any single scenario with
commercial substance even if the insured event is extremely unlikely or the expected present value of the contingent
cash flows is a small proportion of the expected present value of the remaining cash flows from the insurance
contract.
The Group does not issue any pure life insurance contracts or any life insurance contracts with direct participating
features or any contract of insurance with investment component. The Group issues only non-life(General Business)
insurance to individuals and commercial businesses.

2.33 Separating components from insurance and reinsurance contracts


The Group assesses its insurance and reinsurance products to determine whether they contain components which
must be accounted for under another applicable IFRS rather than IFRS 17 (distinct non- insurance components).
After separating any distinct components, the Group applies IFRS 17 to all remaining components of the (host)
insurance contract on a cohort basis right from initial recognition and subsequent recognition until expiration of
insurance service on the contract.

Currently, the Group’s products do not include distinct non insurance components such as investment components,
goods and services, embedded derivatives that require separation.

2.34 Level of aggregation


Under IFRS 17 the Group determines a granular grouping of individual contracts for the purpose of measuring
insurance contract liability and in the recognition of profitability. The Group identifies portfolios by aggregating
insurance contracts that are subject to similar risks and managed together. In grouping insurance contracts into
portfolios, the Group considers the similarity of risks rather than the specific labelling of product lines. The Group
has determined that all contracts within each product line, as defined for management purposes, have similar risks.
Therefore, when contracts are managed together, they represent a portfolio of contracts. The Group’s insurance
contracts portfolios are disaggregated into annual cohorts or cohorts of periods that are not more than one year
apart. Limiting groups to contracts issued within one year or less apart improves the transparency of profitability to
be reported in the Group’s set of financial statements.
Each portfolio is subdivided into groups of contracts to which the recognition and measurement requirements of
IFRS 17 are applied.
At initial recognition, the Group segregates contracts based on when they were issued. A cohort contains all
contracts that were issued within a 12-month period. Each cohort is then further disaggregated into three groups
of contracts:
•• Contracts that are onerous on initial recognition
•• Contracts that, on initial recognition, have no significant possibility of becoming onerous subsequently
•• Any remaining contracts

NEM Insurance Plc
Annual Report & Accounts, 31 December, 2023

Statement Of Material
Accounting Policies Cont’d
For short term contracts accounted for applying the Premium Allocation Approach (PAA), the Group determines that
its contracts are not onerous on initial recognition, unless there are facts and circumstances indicating otherwise.
As IFRS 17 does not define what “facts/circumstances” entail; the following are considered on their impact on
expected cashflows and resulting profitability:
•• Significant changes in external conditions including economic or regulatory changes.
•• Changes to the organization or processes
•• Changes in underwriting and pricing strategies
•• Trends in experience and expected variability in cashflows

All the Group’s short-term contracts currently held have been assessed as having no possibility of becoming
onerous except for the motor portfolio (onerous in 2023). In subsequent periods, non-onerous contracts are re-
assessed based on the likelihood of prevailing facts and circumstances leading to significant possibility of becoming
onerous.

2.35 Reinsurance contracts held


Reinsurance contracts held(loss-occurring reinsurance contracts) are for one year or less. For Risk-attaching
reinsurance contracts, the Group reasonably expects that the resulting measurement of the assets for remaining
coverage would not differ materially from the result of applying the accounting policies that are the same as the
underlying the measurement model for the insurance contracts they protect. Reinsurance contracts are assessed
for aggregation on an individual contract basis and are assessed separately from insurance contracts. The smallest
unit of account is a reinsurance contract, even where this contract covers more than one type of insurance product.
However, there are cases where a reinsurance contract covers separate and identifiable product lines which are
only included in the same legal document for administrative convenience. These contracts have been separated
into its different components.

2.36 Recognition of Insurance contracts


An insurance contract issued by the Group is recognised from the earliest of:
•• the beginning of its coverage period (i.e. the period during which the Group provides services in respect of any
premiums within the boundary of the contract);
•• when the first payment from the policyholder becomes due or, if there is no contractual due date, when it is
received from the policyholder; and
•• when facts and circumstances indicate that the contract is onerous.

An insurance contract acquired in a transfer of contracts or a business combination is recognised on the date of
acquisition.

As the Group adheres to the statutory “no premium no cover”, the date premium is received from the policyholder
will always be earlier or on the same date as the coverage period. This premium receipt date would then be used
to separate the groups of insurance contracts into annual cohorts. The contract groupings shall not be reassessed
until they are derecognized.

2.37 Contract Boundaries


The Group includes in the measurement of a group of insurance contracts all the future cash flows within the
boundary of each contract in the group. Cash flows are within the boundary of an insurance contract if they arise
from substantive rights and obligations that exist during the reporting period in which the Group can compel the
policyholder to pay the premiums, or in which the Group has a substantive obligation to provide the policyholder
with insurance contract services. A substantive obligation to provide insurance contract services ends when:

T
that relate to periods after the reassessment date.

A liability or asset relating to expected premiums or claims outside the boundary of the insurance contract are not
recognized. Such amounts relate to future insurance contracts.

2.38 Measurement of insurance contracts issued.


(a) Initial Measurement-Premium Allocation Approach (PAA)
At initial recognition, the Group measures the carrying amount of the liability for remaining coverage (LRC) as
the premiums received on initial recognition minus any insurance acquisition cashflows allocated to the group of
contracts at that date, and adjusted for any amount arising from derecognition of any assets or liabilities previously
recognized for cash flows related to the group(including assets for insurance acquisition cashflows). The Group
has not chosen to expense insurance acquisition cashflows when they are incurred. Subsequently , the carrying
amount of the LRC is increased by any premiums received and the amortization of insurance acquisition cashflows
recognized as expenses and decreased by amount recognized as insurance revenue for services provided and any
additional insurance acquisition cashflows allocated after initial recognition. On initial recognition the Group expects
that the time between providing part of the services and the related premium due date is not more than a year.

(b) Subsequent Measurement-Premium Allocation Approach (PAA)


In estimating the total future fulfilment cash flows, the Group distinguishes between those relating to already
incurred claims and those relating to future service. At the end of each reporting period, the carrying amount of the
group of insurance contracts will reflect a current estimate of the liability for remaining coverage (LRC) as at that
date and a current estimate of the liability for incurred claims (LIC).

(i) Liability for Remaining Coverage


The LRC represents the Group’s obligation to investigate and pay valid claims under existing contracts for insured
events that have not yet occurred, amounts that relate to other insurance contract services not yet provided (i.e.
provision of investment-return and investment-related services) and investment components and other amounts
not related to insurance contract services that have not yet been transferred to the LIC.
When applying the PAA, the Group does not discount the liability for remaining coverage to reflect the time value
of money and financial risk for its non-life policies with a coverage period of one year or less.
The Group measures the liability for remaining coverage at each subsequent reporting date as follows: Sum of:
(a) Previous carrying amount,
(b) Premium received in the period
(c) Amortization of insurance acquisition cashflows
Less:
(d) Capitalized insurance acquisition cashflows
(e) insurance revenue recognized and
(f) investment paid or transferred to the liability for incurred claims

Statement Of Material

(ii) Liability for Incurred claims (LIC)
The LIC includes the Group’s liability to pay valid claims for insured events that have already incurred, other incurred
insurance expenses arising from past coverage service and the liability for claims incurred but not yet reported. It
also includes the Group’s liability to pay amounts the Group is obliged to pay the policyholder under the contract.
This includes repayment of investment components, when a contract is derecognized. The current estimate of LIC
comprises the fulfilment cash flows related to current and past service allocated to the group at the reporting date.
For those claims that the Group expects to be paid within one year or less from the date of occurrence, the Group
does not adjust future cash flows for the time value of money and the effects of financial risks. However, claims
expected to take more than one year to settle are discounted applying the discount rate at the time the incurred
claim is initially recognized.

2.39 Discount Rate


In line with IFRS17(59) (B), IAS8(36) the Group adjusts the measurement of the liability for incurred claims(LIC) for
the impact of the time value of money and other financial risk of the claims not settled within 12 months, time value
of money is measured separately from expected future cash flows with changes in financial risks recognized in
profit or loss at the end of each reporting period and the Group has elected an accounting policy to present the time
value of money separately in profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The Group measures the time value of
money using discount rates that reflect the liquidity characteristics of the insurance contracts and the characteristics
of the cash flows, consistent with observable current market prices. They exclude the effect of factors that influence
such observable market prices but do not affect the future cash flows of the insurance contracts (e.g., credit risk).

For all insurance contracts the Group agrees to adopt the Premium allocation approach in which determined
interest rate (locked in rate) is used to calculate the present value of future cashflows at the date of initial recognition
of the group of insurance contracts in line with IFRS17 Para B72b. The locked -in interest rates is used for accreting
interest rate accruing on the value of the contracts at initial recognition and loss components changes as a result
of changes in Fulfilment Cashflow(FCF) that relate to future years service.

To derive the current discount rates which are judged to be used for the contracts cashflows, the Group uses
discount rates starting from a risk-free rate of assets(high quality bonds) with similar characteristics as the underlining
liability cashflows plus an illiquidity premium where applicable. Risk free rates are determined by reference to the
yields of highly liquid FGN Bonds.

Average fixed locked-in rate is used for the group of insurance contracts issued over the 12 months cohort period,
where the average fixed locked in rate is taken to be the simple arithmetic mean or geometric mean. The illiquidity
premium is determined by reference to observable market rates, including sovereign debt, corporate debt and
market swap rates. The Group shall adopt the Nigeria Actuarial Society committee discount rates as published on
its website or on the NAICOM website whenever available.

2.40 Risk adjustment(RA) for non-financial risk


The risk adjustment measures the compensation the Group would require for bearing the uncertainty about the
amount and timing of cash flows arising from insurance contracts, other than those relating to financial risk. The
Group chooses a technique which aligns with the principles of risk adjustment and disclose significant judgement
which has been made in determining the risk adjustment and the equivalent confidence level utilized. The group
has service level agreements that enhances prompt claim settlement except when circumstances warranted such
delay. Amount recoverable from risk adjustment is recognized in the financial statement.

For the purposes of the financials, a bootstrap approach was adopted in determining the risk adjustment margin.
A confidence level of the 75th percentile was adopted to be 7.94%.

2.41 PAA Eligibility Calculation and Materiality
The Group determine that its businesses satisfies the criteria for adopting the use of the simplified measurement
model(PAA) as follows:

(a) That such simplification would produce a measurement of the liability for remaining coverage that would not
differ materially from that produced applying the General Model; or
(b) That the coverage period of each contract in the group is one year or less.

In determining the level of materiality, the Group has taken a view that if the total volume of premiums in a cohort of
contracts with coverage period of more than one year is less than 10%, then this would be deemed as immaterial to
the justification of using the implied measurement model PAA- statistically insignificant in line with paragraph 5.2.2
of Guidance note on IFRS17 issued by NAICOM.
The Group has opted to test the PAA eligibility for the entire group (population) of contracts instead of just a sample
within the population of insurance contracts, using a quantitative assessment approach involving application of
simplified mathematical approach.
Based on quanitative assessment carried out by the group, the portion that is above one year based on volume
of premium is 0.63%, 0.40% and 0.62% for 2021, 2022 and 2023 respectively, while the portion above 365 days
based on policy count is 0.46%, 0.93% and 0.70% for 2021, 2022 and 2023 respectively, and the group considers
these to be immaterial as to significantly impact the result of the premium allocation approach.

2.42 Insurance acquisition cash flows


The Group chooses to amortize acquisition cashflows over the contracts’ coverage period, provided that the
coverage period of each contract in the group at initial recognition is no more than one year. The Group includes
insurance acquisition cash flows in the measurement of a group of insurance contracts if they are directly attributable
to either the individual contracts in a group, the group itself or the portfolio of insurance contracts to which the
group belongs.
The Group estimates, at a portfolio level, insurance acquisition cash flows not directly attributable to the group
but directly attributable to the portfolio. The Group then allocates them to the group of newly written and renewed
contracts on a systematic and rational basis.

The Group applies judgement in determining the inputs used in the methodology to systematically and rationally
allocate insurance acquisition cash flows to groups of insurance contracts. This includes judgements about whether
insurance contracts are expected to arise from renewals of existing insurance contracts and, where applicable,
the amount to be allocated to groups including future renewals and the volume of expected renewals from new
contracts issued in the period.
In the current and prior years, the Group did not allocate any insurance acquisition cash flows to future groups of
insurance contracts, as it did not expect any renewal contracts to arise from new contracts issued in the period.
In the current and prior year, the Group did not identify any facts and circumstances indicating that the assets may
be impaired.

2.43 Changes in fulfilment cash flows


At the end of each reporting period, the Group updates the fulfilment cash flows for both LIC and LRC to reflect the
current estimates of the amounts, timing and uncertainty of future cash flows, as well as discount rates and other
financial variable.

NEM Insurance Plc
Annual Report & Accounts, 31 December, 2023

Statement Of Material
Accounting Policies Cont’d
The Group has an accounting policy choice which calculates changes in fulfilment cash flows at the end of a
reporting period for changes in non-financial assumptions, changes in discount rates and financial assumptions.
The Group first calculates the changes in discount rates and financial assumptions on the fulfilment cash flows (as
expected at the beginning of the period) and then calculate changes on those cash flows from the change in non-
financial assumptions.
Experience adjustments are the difference between:
•• The expected cash flow estimates at the beginning of the period and the actual cash flows for premiums re-
ceived in the period (and any related cash flows paid such as insurance acquisition cash flows and insurance
premium taxes)

••  he expected cash flow estimates at the beginning of the period and the actual incurred amounts of insurance
T
service expenses in the period (excluding insurance acquisition expenses).

Experience adjustments relating to current or past service are recognized in profit or loss. For incurred claims
(including incurred but not reported) and other incurred insurance service expenses, experience adjustments
always relate to current or past service. They are included in profit or loss as part of insurance service expenses.
2.44 Onerous Contracts
If at any time during the coverage period, facts and circumstances indicate that a group of insurance contracts
is onerous, then the Group determines the loss component and recognizes the loss immediately. The Group
considers an insurance contract to be onerous if the expected fulfilment cash flows allocated to the contract, less
any previously recognized acquisition cash flows and any cash flows arising from the contract at the date of initial
recognition in total result in a net cash outflow.

The Group conducts the onerousity assessment on a portfolio level by assessing future expected cash flows on a
probability-weighted basis including a risk adjustment for non-financial risk. Contracts expected on initial recognition
to be loss-making are grouped together and such groups are measured and presented separately. Once contracts
are allocated to a group, they are not re-allocated to another group, unless they are substantively modified.

For contracts that are measured under PAA, the assumption is that there are no onerous contracts at initial
recognition, unless facts and circumstances indicate otherwise. If the measurement of the LIC results in a loss-
making group, this does not translate to the LRC being onerous. In this case, the group will be assessed as to
whether its LRC will be similar to the incurred experience and hence considered to be onerous. For example,
actions taken to improve profitability on the motor portfolio which is loss-making (in 2023) may indicate that the LRC
will have a different loss experience.

If facts and circumstances indicate that a group of contracts is onerous during the coverage period, the onerous
liability is calculated as the difference between:

(a) the carrying amount of the liability for remaining coverage; and
(b) the FCF that relates to remaining coverage similar to what is needed under the GMM.

This difference is recognized as a loss and shall increase the liability for remaining coverage.

2.45 Measurement of Reinsurance Contracts Held


(a) Recognition
Proportional reinsurance contracts held will be first recognized on the later of the beginning of the coverage period
of the reinsurance contract or the date that the first underlying insurance contract in the treaty is initially recognized.

Accounting Policies Cont’d
For example, if we enter a surplus fire reinsurance contract on 1 January 2022 and the first fire insurance policy
in the treaty is written in February 2022, then the date of recognition of the surplus reinsurance contract will be
February 2022. Though the contract agreement is in place in January, cashflows on the contract don’t start until
February.

Non-Proportionate reinsurance coverage will be recognized at the beginning of the coverage period of the contract.

(b) Reinsurance contracts held measured under the PAA.


The Group applies the same accounting policies to measure its group of reinsurance contracts ,adapted where
necessary to reflect features that differ from those of insurance contracts. Reinsurance contracts held are generally
assets, rather than liabilities. They are separate from underlying insurance contracts; however, they correspond with
them. To ensure that the impact of reinsurance is smoothened out over the period of the underlying contracts, the
Group has a policy to recognizing reinsurance contract held over the coverage period as each underlying contract
is recognized. If a loss-recovery component is created for a group of reinsurance contracts measured under the
PAA, then the Group adjusts the carrying amount of asset for remaining coverage. All reinsurance contracts with
contract boundaries not exceeding one year are automatically considered to meet PAA eligibility. Most of the
Group’s Surplus reinsurance contracts are immediately eligible for PAA as they are written on a clean-cut basis.
At the end of the period, the reinsurer withdraws from the contract and the reinsurance held portfolio (including
outstanding recoveries and ceded portion of unexpired premiums) is transferred to a new reinsurer.

A smaller number of surplus reinsurance contracts and all Facultative contracts are written on an underwriting year
basis. This basis extends the contract boundary beyond one year as coverage of contracts ceded to the treaty may
continue even after the underwriting year has ended.

The Group incurs incremental administrative costs that are insurance services expenses, namely cashflows
that relate directly to the fulfilment of the underlying insurance contracts issued and are to be included in the
measurement of the reinsurance contracts assets. The Group treats the actual incurred cost as insurance service
expense. Where the reinsurance contracts held covers a group of onerous underlying insurance contracts, the
Group adjusts the carrying amount of the asset for remaining coverage and recognizes a gain when, in the same
period, it reports a loss on initial recognition of an onerous group of underlying insurance contracts or on addition
of onerous underlying insurance contracts to a group. The recognition of this gain results in the recognition for the
loss recovery component of the asset for the remaining coverage of a group of reinsurance contracts held.

(c) Methods of Presenting Reinsurance Premiums and Recoveries from Reinsurance Contracts Held
For reinsurance contracts held, inline with IFRS 17.86, the group has an accounting policy of presenting income or
expenses from reinsurance contracts held (other than insurance finance income or expenses) as separate amounts:
the amounts recovered from the reinsurer and allocation of the premiums paid. Both the recovered amount and
the allocated premiums paid together should give a net amount equal to the equivalent single amount option. The
allocation of premium paid is not used as a reduction to premium revenue for the reinsurance contracts held.

(d) Accounting for Fixed Commissions by the Reinsurer


The Group treats ceding commission that are not contingent on claims as a reduction in premiums. Reinsurance
Contracts may included fixed ceding commission payable to the Group.

2.46 Modification and Derecognition


The Group derecognizes the original contract and recognizes the modified contract as a new contract, if the terms
of insurance contracts are modified and the following conditions are met:

NEM Insurance Plc
Annual Report & Accounts, 31 December, 2023

Statement Of Material
Accounting Policies Cont’d
If the modified terms were included at contract inception and the Group would have concluded that the modified
contract:
•• Is outside of the scope of IFRS 17
•• Results in a different insurance contract due to separating components from the host contract
•• Results in a substantially different contract boundary
•• Would be included in a different group of contracts.
•• The original contract met the definition of an insurance contract with direct participating features, but the mod-
ified contract no longer meets the definition.
•• The original contract was accounted for applying the PAA, but the modified contract no longer meets the PAA
eligibility criteria for that approach.

If the contract modification meets any of the conditions, the company performs all assessments applicable at initial
recognition, derecognizes the original contract and recognizes the new modified contract as if it was entered for
the first time.

If the contract modification does not meet any of the conditions, the Group treats the effect of the modification as
changes in the estimates of fulfilment cash flows.

For insurance contracts accounted for using the PAA, the Group adjusts insurance revenue prospectively from the
time of the contract modification.

The Group derecognizes an insurance contract when, and only when the contract is:

•• Extinguished (when the obligation specified in the insurance contract expires or is discharged or cancelled)
•• Modified and the derecognition criteria are met.

When the Group derecognizes an insurance contract from within a group of contracts, it:

••  djusts the fulfilment cash flows allocated to the group to eliminate the present value of the future cash flows
A
and risk adjustment for non-financial risk relating to the rights and obligations that have been derecognized
from the group.

When the Group transfers an insurance contract to a third party and that results in derecognition, the Group adjusts
the CSM of the group from which the contract has been derecognized for the difference between the change in the
carrying amount of the group caused by the derecognized fulfilment cash flows and the premium charged by the
third party for the transfer.

When the Group derecognizes an insurance contract due to modification, it derecognizes the original insurance
contract and recognizes a new one.

2.47 Presentation
The Group has presented separately in the Group’s statement of financial position the carrying amount of portfolios
of insurance contracts that are assets and those that are liabilities, and the portfolios of reinsurance contracts held
that are assets and those that are liabilities.

The Group disaggregates the amounts recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income into an insurance service result sub-total that comprises insurance revenue and insurance
service expenses and, separately from the insurance service result, the ‘net insurance finance income or expenses’
sub-total. The Group has voluntarily included the net insurance finance income or expenses line in another sub-

total: net insurance and investment result, which also includes the income from all the assets backing the Group’s
insurance liabilities.

The Group includes any assets for insurance acquisition cash flows recognized before the corresponding groups of
insurance contracts are recognized in the carrying amount of the related portfolios of insurance contracts issued.

2.48 Insurance Revenue


When applying the PAA, the Group recognizes insurance revenue for the period based on the passage of time by
allocating expected premium receipts including premium experience adjustments to each period of service.

At the end of each reporting period, the Group considers whether there was a change in facts and circumstances
indicating a need to change, on a prospective basis, the premium receipt allocation due to changes in the expected
pattern of claim occurrence.

2.49 Insurance service expenses


Insurance service expenses arising from insurance contracts issued are recognized in the profit or loss generally as
they are incurred. The company’s insurance expenses comprises:

•• Incurred claims and other insurance service expenses Changes in the LIC related to claims and expenses
incurred in the period excluding repayment of investment components.(if any)
•• Changes in the LIC related to claims and expenses incurred in prior periods (related to past service)
•• Other directly attributable insurance service expenses incurred in the period. This includes technical salaries
and wages and 30% of other administrative expenses.
•• Amortization of insurance acquisition cash flows, which is recognized at the same amount in both insurance
service expenses and insurance contract revenue.
•• Loss component of onerous groups of contracts initially recognized in the period.

2.50 Net expenses from reinsurance contracts held.


The Group presents income or expenses from a group of reinsurance contracts held and reinsurance finance
income or expenses in profit or loss for the period separately. Income or expenses from reinsurance contracts held
are split into the following two amounts:

•• Amount recovered from reinsurers.


•• An allocation of the premiums paid.

The Group presents cash flows that are contingent on claims as part of the amount recovered from reinsurers.
Ceding commissions that are not contingent on claims of the underlying contracts are presented as a deduction in
the premiums to be paid to the reinsurer which is then allocated to profit or loss.

The Group establishes a loss recovery component of the asset for the remaining coverage for a group of reinsurance
contracts held. This depicts the recovery of losses recognized on the initial recognition of an onerous group of
underlying insurance contracts or on addition of onerous underlying insurance contracts to a group.The loss
recovery component is then adjusted to reflect:

••  eversals of loss recovery component to the extent those reversals are not changes in the fulfilment cash flows
R
of the group of reinsurance contracts held.
•• Allocations of the loss recovery component against the amounts recovered from reinsurers reported in line with
the associated reinsured incurred claims or expenses.

value of money, together with the effect of financial risk and changes in financial risk of a group of insurance
contracts and a group of reinsurance contracts held.

2.52 The presentation for insurance finance income and expenses


The Group has an accounting policy choice to present all the period’s insurance finance income or expenses in
profit or loss or to split the amount between profit or loss and other comprehensive income (OCI). When considering
the choice of presentation of insurance finance income or expenses, the Group examines the assets held for that
portfolio and how they are accounted for.

Currently the Group present all the period’s insurance finance income or expenses in the profit or loss. The Group
does not write participating contracts and does need to reassess its accounting policy choice in respect of such
policies.

2.53 Transition policy


The Group shall apply IFRS 17 retrospectively using the full retrospective approach.
On transition to IFRS 17, the Group applied the full retrospective approach unless impracticable to do so in which
it applied the modified retrospective approach.

At 1 January 2022 group of risk on transition to IFRS 17 are identified and measured with the following
approaches:

Transition approach Year of issue


All groups of insurance and Reinsurance contracts - Full retrospective approach was adopted 2021 - 2022
All groups of Insurance and Reinsurance contracts for which the full retrospective approach was Prior to 2021
impracticable - modified retrospective approach was adopted

Transition approach Year of issue


All groups of insurance and Reinsurance contracts - Full retrospective approach was adopted 2021 - 2022
All groups of Insurance and Reinsurance contracts for which the full retrospective approach was impracticable -
modified retrospective approach was adopted Prior to 2021
The Group has applied the full retrospective approach on transition to all short-term insurance contracts in force
at the transition date.

To do this, at the transition date, we have identified, recognized and measured each group of insurance contracts
as if IFRS 17 had always applied; and derecognized any existing balances that would not exist had IFRS 17 always
applied; and finally recognized any resulting net difference in equity.
The modified retrospective approach entails that the group has tried its best to achieve the closest outcome to
full retrospective application possible using reasonable and supportable information available without undue cost
or effort. Accordingly, in adopting this approach, the entity has used reasonable and supportable information. The
group has maximized the use of information that would have been used to apply a fully retrospective approach, but
has only used information available to the group without undue cost or effort.
(a) Contracts existing at transition date.
On transition date, 1 January 2023, the Group:

retrospectively restated from the transition date of 1 January 2022. A restated opening statement of financial
position and statement of comprehensive income have been included to reflect the transition from IFRS 4 to IFRS

Financial impact of transition to IFRS 17


Under IFRS 17, the concepts of deferred acquisition costs (DAC) and Deferred Commission Income (DCI) are no
longer applied to produce separately recognized assets and liabilities in relation to insurance contracts, instead
they are implicitly included in the measurement of insurance contract assets and liabilities. N1,446,991,000
(1 January 2022; N1,030,753,000) DAC on non-life insurance contracts has been derecognized on transition
and presented as a reclassification to insurance contract liabilities. Also N531,568,000 (1 January 2022;
N361,710,000) DCI on non-life insurance contracts has also been derecognized and presented as a
reclassification to Reinsurance contract assets.

Under IFRS 17, the concept of Risk adjustment for non-financial risks was introduced. As a result, N476,064,000
(1 January 2022: N370,552,000) was presented as a remeasurement of insurance contract liabilities and
adjusted on retained earnings as a reduction. The reinsurance portion of the risk adjustment N291,773,000
(1 January 2022: 224,460,714) was also recognized as a remeasurement of Reinsurance contract assets and
adjusted on retained earnings as an increase.

Given these adjustments, the total impact on the company’s retained earnings as a result from the first time
adoption of IFRS 17 on 1 January 2022 was (N146,091,290) which has been adjusted in the opening balance
of the company’s retained earnings. In managements opinion, this impact is immaterial to the assessment of
the company’s financial condition or assessment of its going concern.

48.2 Valuation Methodology


We describe in this section the methods used for calculating Premium and Claim Reserve.

(a) Liability for Remaining Coverage (LRC)

i Our reserves consist of Advance Premium (AP), Unexpired Risk Reserve (URR), Deferred Acquisition Cost
(DAC) and Additional Unexpired Risk Reserve(AURR), which are all described in section 2.

ii We adopted the 365th (time apportionment) method. Each policy’s unexpired insurance period (UP) was
calculated as the exact number of days of insurance cover available after the valuation date. The UPR is
calculated as the premium *(UP)/ full policy duration.

iii Each policy’s URR= AP* Assumed Loss Ratio. Typically, the Advanced Premium is expected to cover the
unexpired risk. Where the unexpired risk exceeds the advanced premium then the portfolio is considered
onerous, and a loss component is held as described in section 2.

(b) Claims Reserves


The claim reserves comprise of:
i Outstanding Claims Reported (OCR)
ii Incurred But Not Reported (IBNR)

Reserving method
We present the methodologies that were used in calculating for the IBNR reserves:

i Inflation AdjustedBasic Chain Ladder Method (IABCL)


ii Bornhuetter-Ferguson Approach
iii Loss Ratio
iv Frequency and Severity Method

We derived our expense ratio as the average of the management expense ratio for the current year using the
information provided by NEM Insurance Plc. The Claims Ratio was estimated as the average of the projected
ultimate loss ratio over a period of 4 years for each line of business. The computed Risk adjustment margin of

49 Financial Risk Management Policy


Management of insurance and financial risk
NEM Insurance Plc issues contracts that transfer insurance risk or financial risk or both. This section summarizes
these risks and the way the Company manages them.

49.1 Insurance risk


The risk, under any insurance contract, is the possibility that the insured event occurs and the uncertainty of
the amount of the resulting claim. By the very nature of an insurance contract, this risk is random and therefore
unpredictable. The Company manages its insurance risk by means of established internal procedures that
include underwriting authority levels, pricing policy, approved reinsurers list and monitoring.

NEM is exposed to underwriting risk through the insurance contracts that are underwritten. The risks within
the underwriting risk category are associated with both the perils covered by the specific lines of insurance
including General Accident, Motor, Fire, Marine and Aviation, Oil and Gas and Miscellaneous insurance, as
well as the specific processes associated with the conduct of the insurance business. The various subsets of
underwriting risks are listed below;

i Underwriting Process Risk: risk from exposure to financial losses related to the selection and acceptance of
risks to be insured.

ii Mispricing Risk: risk that insurance premiums will be too low to cover the Company’s expenses related to
underwriting, claims, claims handling and administration.

iii Individual risk: This includes the identification of the risk inherent in an insured property (movable or unmovable),
we shall ensure surveys are performed and reviewed as at when due and that risks are adequately priced.

iv Claims Risk (for each peril): Risk that many more claims occur than expected or that some claims that occur
are much larger than expected claims resulting in unexpected losses to the Company. The underwriting risk
assessment shall also determine the likelihood of a claim arising from an insured risk by considering various
factors and probabilities, determined by information obtained from the insured party, historical information on
similar risks and available external data.

v Concentration risk (including geographical risk): This includes identification of the concentration of risks insured
by NEM. NEM utilizes data analysis, software and market knowledge to determine the concentration of its risks
by insurance class, geographic location, exposure to a client or business. The assessment of the concentration
risk is consistent with the overall risk appetite as established by the Company.

Underwriting Risk Appetite


•• The following statements amongst others shall underpin NEM’s underwriting risk appetite:
•• We do not underwrite risks which we do not understand;
•• We are cautious in underwriting unquantifiable risks;
•• We are extremely cautious in underwriting risk observed to poorly managed at proposal state e.g. those with
low safety standards, shoddy construction or businesses with excessively high risk profile;
•• We carefully evaluate businesses or opportunities that could create systemic risk exposures i.e. incidents of
multiple claims occurring from one event e.g. natural catastrophe risks, and risks dependent on the macro-
economic environment);
•• We consider all applicable regulatory guidelines while carrying out our underwriting activities;

w w w. n e m - i n s u r a n c e . c o m 227
NEM Insurance Plc
Annual Report & Accounts, 31 December, 2023

Notes To The Financial Statements Cont’d


For The Year Ended 31 December 2023

•• We established and adhere to internal standards for co-insurance, reinsurance transactions;


•• We exercise extreme caution when underwriting discrete (one-off) risks, particularly where we do not have the
requisite experience or know-how;
•• Where the broker has inadequate knowledge of the trade of the client or the class of business, we exercise
caution in taking on such risks into our books;
•• We exercise extreme prudence and caution when dealing with clients with financial difficulties or poor payment
records; and with transient clients who change insurers regularly; and
•• We ensure compliance with NAICOM’s guideline on KYC for consistency.

49.2 Underwriting Strategy


The Company has developed its insurance underwriting strategy to diversify the type of insurance risks accepted
and within each of these categories to achieve a sufficiently large population of risks to reduce the variability of
the expected outcome. Any risks exceeding the underwriting limits require Head Office approval. Factors that
aggravate insurance risk include lack of risk diversification in terms of type and amount of risk, geographical
location and type of industry covered. The Company manages these risks through its underwriting strategy,
adequate reinsurance arrangements and proactive claims handling. Underwriting limits are in place to enforce
appropriate risk selection criteria. For example, the Company has the right not to renew individual policies, it
can impose deductibles and it has the right to reject the payment of a fraudulent claim. Insurance contracts
also entitle the Company to pursue third parties for payment of some or all costs (for example, subrogation).

49.3 Products and Services


NEM Insurance Plc is presently operating as a non-life insurance company and we have a wide range of
insurance products and services that are tailored to meet the specific needs of the company’s clients.
Insurance contracts are issued on an annual contract either directly to the customer or through accredited
insurance brokers and agents. Premiums from brokers and agents are payable within 30 days, whereas from
direct customers immediately. The following is a broad spectrum of the products and services the company is
offering:

Fire/Extraneous Perils Policy


This type of policy will provide indemnity to the insured in the event of loss or damage to property covered under
it as a direct result of fire outbreak, lightning or explosion. Other extraneous perils such as social disturbances
like strike and riot, and natural disasters like storm damage, flood and earthquake can also be covered by an
extension of the standard scope of the cover. The items to be insured are usually made up of the following:

a) Buildings
b) Office Furniture, Electrical & Electronic Equipment
c) Plant and Machinery
d) Stock of Raw Materials and finished goods
e) Loss of Annual Rent for alternative accommodation.

The policy also contains various other extensions that are granted at no extra cost to the policyholder. The
replacement cost of the items to be insured will have to be supplied to us for assessment to facilitate quotation
of the premium payable.

Consequential Loss Policy


This type of policy, often referred to as “business interruption insurance” is designed to indemnify the insured
against loss of productive capacity or future earning power which may occur as a result of loss or damage to
the premises and property insured under the Fire/Extraneous Perils in 1 above. This policy is normally taken
out in conjunction with the Fire Policy so that when the latter pays for the material damage to property insured

Notes To The Financial Statements Cont’d


For The Year Ended 31 December 2023

under it, this will pick up the intangible loss that will flow from the primary loss of the Fire perils. The items usually
covered under this policy are as follows:

a)Gross Profit
b)Salary and Wages
c)Auditor’s fees

The sum insured to be indicated against the items of Gross Profit should represent the difference in turnover
and the total of standing and variable charges. The sum insured on Salary and Wages will be that which is
required to maintain some key staff pending resumption of business while the sum insured on Auditor’s Fees
will represent charges that any firm of accountants will make in preparing papers for insurance claim.

Burglary/Housebreaking Policy
This type of policy is designed to indemnify the insured against loss or damage resulting from theft or attempted
theft which is accompanied by actual forcible or violent entry into or out of the premises or any attempt theft.
The items usually covered under this policy are similar to those under the Fire/Extraneous Perils policy above
with the exception of Buildings and Loss of Rent. The replacement cost of the relative items would have to be
supplied to enable us submit our quotation.

Fidelity Guarantee Policy


This is a form of policy that protects an organization against loss of money or valuable stock as a result of
dishonesty or fraudulent activity of employees. It is possible to grant cover on named basis, positions basis or
on a blanket basis. In any of these cases, the number of persons and the limit of guarantee any one loss would
be advised as well as aggregate amount of guarantee in a given year. Once we have this information, we would
be in a position to quote for premium payable.

Public Liability Policy


This policy also covers the insured against legal liability to third party for cost and expenses incurred in respect
of accidental death, bodily injury and accidental damage to property occurring within the insured’s premises or
at work-away premises. The vicarious liability of the insured’s employee can also be covered provided it arose
in the course of carrying out his official duties. The Company usually require the insured to indicate the limit of
cover required to enable her advise the premium payable.

Money Policy
This is another type of All Risks policy which is designed to cover any fortuitous event that could result in the
loss of cash while in the course of transit either to or from the bank. The cover will also operate while the money
is on the premises of the insured and while in a securely locked safe. The policy can also be extended to cover
cash in the personal custody of selected management staff.

Goods in Transit Policy


This is also an “All Risks” policy covering goods being carried from one location to another. Any loss not
specifically excluded under the policy is covered and the insurance is suitable for any organization that is
engaged in movement of goods either by road or rail and the cover will operate when the goods are being
conveyed by the insured’s owned or hired vehicles. Losses arising from Fire and Theft are covered under this
policy.

Group Personal Accident Policy


This type of policy is designed to foster the welfare of employees as well as reduce the financial constrain that
an organization could undergo in the event of death or bodily injury to a member of staff arising as a result of any
injury sustained through accidental, violent, external and visible means. The policy provides a world-wide cover
on 24 hours basis and benefits payable in respect of Death and Permanent Disability are usually expressed as
multiple of salaries. Cover also extends to pay weekly benefit in the event of temporary total disability resulting
from bodily injury to the insured person as well as certain allowance for expenses incurred on medical treatment
as a result of accidental injury. Death or injuries from natural causes are however not covered.

Motor Insurance Policy


This class of insurance is made compulsory by Government through the legislation known as the Motor Vehicle
(Third Party) Insurance Act of 1945. Third Party Only cover which is the minimum type of insurance legislated
upon provides indemnity to policyholder against legal liability to Third Parties for death, bodily injury and property
damage.

The most popular type of cover under this policy is comprehensive insurance which, in addition to the cover
provided under the Third Party Only, will also indemnify the policyholder for loss or damage to the vehicle
resulting from road accident, fire and theft. The premium payable for the various forms of cover under this
policy is regulated by a statistical table of rate known as “tariff” which is approved by Government.

Marine Policies
CARGO: The policy issued here is to provide indemnity for loss or damage to imported goods being conveyed
by sea or air. The All Risks type of cover known as Clauses “”A”” provides indemnity to the insured in the event
of total or partial loss of the goods while the restricted cover known as Clauses “”C”” would provide indemnity
in the event of total loss only. To enable us determine the premium payable in this regard, we would require
information on the nature and value of goods being imported as well as the type of cover required.

HULL: This type of policy is issued on vessels and yachts to provide indemnity for any loss, damage or liability
that may arise from their use. The scope of cover provided is either an “all risks” or “total loss only” while the
policy usually carries a deductible of about 10% of the value of the vessel or yacht.

Aviation Policy
This policy provides comprehensive cover against loss or damage to insured aircraft while operating anywhere
in the world. Cover also extends to include the operator’s legal liability to Third Parties for death, bodily
injury and property damage. Liability to passengers is also covered up to a certain limit selected. In order to
ensure full protection for our clients, we reinsure as much as 90% of this type of risk in the London Aviation
Market through one of our overseas associates. The essence of this arrangement is to obviate the problem of
absorption in the Nigerian Market which has limited capacity for Aviation Insurance and also to afford our clients
the opportunity of having a dollar/sterling based insurance policy.

Machinery Breakdown Policy


This policy is designed to cover any damage to a plant or equipment while working or at rest, or being dismantled
for the purpose of cleaning, repairing or overhauling. In the same vein, boiler and pressure vessels can be
covered under a separate but similar policy.

Electronic Equipment Policy
This policy is designed to cover any loss or damage that could result while any computer and or equipment
insured is working or at rest. The cover under this policy also extends to include loss or damage to external data

media such as diskettes and tapes containing processed information while such are kept within the premises.
The increase in cost of working, as a result of damage to the main computer equipment, is also covered and
indemnity is provided for alternative means of carrying on operation. With payment of an additional premium,
this policy can be extended to cover the risk of theft.

Energy Risks
The policies on offer in this area have been specifically developed to take advantage of the insurance
opportunities created by the Nigerian Content Policy. The Nigerian content policy is aimed at utilizing Nigerian
human and material resources in creating values in the country through all contracts awarded in the Oil and
Gas industry and the Power sector of the economy. NEM Insurance Plc has carved a niche as the Leader in
provision of Oil & Gas and Energy Insurance in Nigeria.

•• Our focus is on the following areas:


•• Upstream Risks which includes Construction/Erection All Risks, Operators Extra Expense Insurance,
Property Insurance and General Third Party Liability Insurance.
•• Downstream Risks which include the downstream properties (Refineries and Petrochemical plants, Onshore
pipelines, Oil tank farm, Gas processing plants, Pumping and Metering stations, Gas turbines and Boilers,
Damage to Asset and other related downstream sector risks.
•• Power, Solid Mineral and Other special products.

The above products have been packaged for marketing to the public sector as well as various manufacturing,
industrial and commercial concerns. Financial institutions such as banks, mortgage and stock broking firms
are also being offered these products. Our Company is innovative in approach and we specialize in packaging
policies in line with the needs of the various segments of the economy. NEM Insurance Plc also provides
comprehensive risk management services. The Company carries out various risk surveys and make appropriate
recommendations towards risk improvement and minimization of loss impacts.

Approach to Management of Underwriting Risks


The Company’s underwriting risk shall be managed by adhering to policies, principles and guidelines spelt out
in the Annual Underwriting Plan.

Where the broker has inadequate knowledge of the trade of the client or the class of business and the client
not willing to disclose such information, the Company shall exercise caution in taking on such risks.

The Company shall exercise extreme prudence and caution when dealing with clients with financial difficulties
or poor payment records; and with transient clients who change insurers regularly; and The Company shall
ensure compliance with the National Insurance Commission’s guidelines on “Know Your Customer” (KYC)
requirement to get enough information about the transaction.

The Company carries out timely pre-loss inspection/survey exercise of risks, preferably before commencement
of cover but not later than 48 hours after commencement of risks.

We limit acceptance of risks to a more convenient value/share while spreading excess through co-insurance or
facultative basis. We ensure application/introduction/review of policy terms and conditions including clauses/
warranties that will deal with areas of concern which will at the end of the day make the risk worthy of being in
the Company’s portfolio.

Risk Acceptance Rules


The Company shall follow the provisions (terms and conditions) of the reinsurance treaties that were arranged
for the classes of insurance that any risk offered for insurance falls under in deciding whether to accept the
risk or not. This shall be the case on all cases where the sum insured of the risk is more than the Company’s
retention as contained and evidenced by the treaty cover notes.

For any risk that Reinsurance Treaty could not be arranged for, acceptance of such risks shall be limited to any
limit set by the Company for such risks at the beginning of each year and shown in the underwriting plan.

Marine Insurance Risks


No Marine insurance risk (Hull or Cargo), Marine Cargo or any other special risks of different nature but relating
to Marine Insurance e.g. Marine Cargo Insurance export, shall be accepted without clarification from the Heads
of Technical, Energy and Branch Operations Departments. The Company shall not accept Marine Cargo
business in respect of fish head risks whether as import or export. Where it must be covered for any reason,
cover shall be limited to ICC “C” and on rate of premium of a minimum of 0.20%.

Aviation Risks
No Aviation risk, Marine Hull risk, Marine Cargo export and any other special risks of different nature shall be
accepted without clarification from the Heads of Technical, Energy and Branch Operations Departments.

49.4 Approaches to Risk Mitigation


Generally, we shall apply any of the following four (4) approaches to risk mitigations:

a) Risk Termination (Avoidance)


Under the risk termination approach, we will take measures to avoid risks that are outside our risk appetite,
not aligned to our strategy or offer rewards that are unattractive when compared to the risk undertaken.
Specifically, we will discontinue activities that generate these risks, such as divesting from certain geographical
markets, product lines or businesses. Generally, we will utilise this approach for high-risk events that remain
unacceptably high even after we have applied controls.

b) Risk Treatment (Reduction)


Under the risk treatment approach, we would accept the risks inherent in our transactions, but shall take
measures, through our system of internal controls, to reduce the likelihood and/or impact of these risks. Generally,
we would utilise this approach for risks that occur frequently and have low impact. Some of the measures we
shall take under this approach may include formulating or enhancing policies, defining boundaries and authority
limits, assigning accountabilities and measuring performance, improving processes, strengthening existing
controls or implementing new controls and continuing education and training.

c) Risk Transfer (Sharing)


Under the risk transfer approach, we would accept the risks inherent in our transactions, but shall take measures
to transfer whole or portions of the risk to an independent counterparty. Specifically, we shall transfer our risks
to an independent counterparty such as co-insurance and reinsurance companies by utilising contracts and
arrangements. We will retain accountability for the outsourced risk and that outsourcing does not eliminate
risk but only changes our risk profile. The relevant business units shall be responsible for identifying and
incorporating the risks arising from such risk transfer arrangements in their risk registers. The business units
shall also be responsible for managing the resultant risks and reviewing the risk transfer arrangement to ensure
that it is still capable of mitigating the initial risk.

NEM Insurance Plc
Annual Report & Accounts, 31 December, 2023

Notes To The Financial Statements Cont’d


For The Year Ended 31 December 2023

d) Risk Tolerance (Acceptance)


Under the risk tolerance approach, we would accept the risks inherent in our transactions and would not take
any action to change the likelihood and/or impact of the risks. We shall adopt this approach where the risk is
low and the cost of further managing the risk exceeds the potential benefit should the risk crystallize.

e) Reinsurance Treaty Cover


We have arranged very adequate reinsurance treaties to enable us accommodate risks with high necessary
support in the event of large claims. Our treaties are arranged by UAIB RE and placed with a consortium of
reputable reinsurance companies.

The types of re-insurance on NEM Treaty are:


1) Quota share
2) Surplus
3) Excess of loss

1. Quota share
This is the simplest type of Re-insurance whereby a Reinsurer agrees to reinsure a fixed proportion of every risk
accepted by the ceding Company, sharing proportionately in all losses and receiving in the same proportion of
all direct net premium, less the agreed reinsurance commission.

2. Surplus
Under this arrangement the ceding Company can retain a risk up to the level of its agreed Retention amount.
The proportion of the risk which is beyond the Retention amount is then ceded into the Surplus treaty and
reinsurer receives a proportionate share of the premium, less reinsurance commission.

3. Excess of Loss
This arrangement protects the ceding Company against a loss where the ceding Company’s claims liability
exceeds its retention.

Concentration of insurance risk


The Company monitors concentrations of insurance risk by product and sector. An analysis of concentrations
of insurance risk at 31 December 2023 and 2022 for premium received is set out below:

50 Financial risk management


NEM Insurance Plc operates in a highly complex and competitive environment driven by the need to meet all
claim obligations, maximize returns to shareholders and comply with all statutory and regulatory requirements.
The Company is in the business of managing risks for public and private entities as well as individuals. In the
ordinary course of its business activities, the Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks, including
currency risk, liquidity risk, credit risk, country risk and market risk as well as operational and compliance risks.

Risk is the level of exposure to opportunity, threat and uncertainty – that should be identified, understood,
measured and effectively managed, in the course of executing the Company’s business strategies. In terms
of opportunity, we see risk in relation to returns in that the greater the risk, the greater the potential return. We
therefore manage risk by using several methods to maximize the positive aspects within the constraints of our
risk appetite and business environment.

In terms of threat, we see risk as the potential for the occurrence of negative events such as financial loss,
fraud, damage to reputation or public image and loss of competitive advantage. We therefore manage risk in
this context by introducing risk management techniques to reduce the probability of these negative events
occurring without incurring excessive costs or stifling the initiative, innovation, and entrepreneurial flair of our
staff.

In terms of uncertainty, we see risk as the distribution of all possible outcomes both positive and negative. In
this context, we manage uncertainty by seeking to reduce the variance between anticipated outcomes and
actual results.

Our risk management philosophy and culture consist of our shared beliefs, values, attitudes and practices with
respect to how we consider risk in everything we do, from strategy development and implementation to every
aspect of our day-to-day activities.

We shall underwrite all profitable transactions that we consider prudent and meets our risk appetite and profile.
We shall take calculated and informed risk while seeking to maximize returns and shareholders’ value. We shall
continuously evaluate the risk and rewards inherent in our business transactions, from strategy development
and implementation to our day-to-day activities. We believe that to achieve this objective would require a good
understanding of the risks we are taking and the effective management of these risks both at the individual and
enterprise levels.

Notes To The Financial Statements Cont’d


For The Year Ended 31 December 2023

We therefore manage and control risk by introducing new risk management techniques, enhancing existing risk
management practices and placing a greater emphasis on cooperation among departments to comprehensively
manage the Company’s full range of risks as a whole. The Company proactively formulates strategies and plans
that enable the identification and management of events/factors/occurrences that impact our ability to attain
our business and strategic objectives.

(a) Risk Management Strategy


The Company adopts the following strategy for managing risks:

i. Establish a clearly defined risk management process for identifying, measuring, controlling, monitoring and
reporting risks.
ii. Entrench and incorporate risk management principles in all functions across the Company.
iii. Comprehensive implementation and maintenance of our risk management framework.
iv. Ensure good corporate governance practices.
v. Board and senior management support to promote sound risk management.
vi. Zero tolerance for non-compliance with risk and control procedures.
vii. Avoid concentration of risk to any industry, market, sector or individual entity.
viii. Deploy a risk management systems to facilitate the effective management of risks.

(b) Market risk


The Group undertakes activities which give rise to a considerable level of market risks exposures (i.e. the risk
that the fair value of future cash flows of our trading and investment positions or other financial instrument, will
fluctuate because of changes in market prices). Market risks can arise from adverse changes in interest rates,
foreign exchange rates, equity prices, commodity prices and other relevant factors such as market volatilities.
The objective of market risk management activities is to continually manage and control market risk exposure
within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return on risks taken.

Management of market risk


The Group has an independent Risk Management unit which assesses, monitors, manages and reports on
market risk taking activities across the group. We have continued to enhance our Risk Management Framework.

The Group’s market risk objectives, policies and processes are aimed at instituting a model that objectively
identifies, measures and manages market risks in the Group and ensure that:

1. The individuals who take or manage risk clearly understand it.


2. The Group’s risk exposure is within established limits.
3. Risk taking decisions are in line with business strategy and objectives set by the Board of Directors.
4. The expected payoffs compensate for the risks taken.
5. Sufficient capital, as a buffer, is available to take risk.

(i) Interest Rate Risk


The Group is exposed to a considerable level of interest rate risk-especially on the Investment contracts (
i.e. the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
interest rates). Similar to the last financial year, interest rate was fairly volatile. These changes could have a
negative impact on the Net Interest Income, if not properly managed. The Group however, has all of its finacial
instruments in non-rate sensitive assets and liabilities. This greatly assists it in managing its exposure to interest
rate risks.

The impact on the Company’s profit before tax if interest rates on financial instruments held at amortized cost or
at fair value had increased or decreased by 100 basis points, with all other variables held constant are considered
insignificant. This is due to the short term and fixed interest nature of the majority of the financial assets measured
at amortized cost.

(ii) Foreign exchange risk


Foreign exchange risk is the exposure of the Group’s financial condition to the changes in foreign exchange
rates. The Company is exposed to exchange rate risk as a result of cash balances denominated in currencies
other than Naira.

(iii) Equity risk


The Group is exposed to equity price risk by holding investments quoted on the Stock Exchange. Equity
securities quoted on the Stock Exchange is exposed to movement based on the general movement of the all
share index and movement in prices of specific securities held by the Group.

Sensitivity analysis - equity risk


The sensitivity analysis for equity price risk illustrates how changes in the fair value of equity securities will
fluctuate because of changes in market prices, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the
individual equity issuer, or factors affecting all similar equity securities traded in the market.

Management monitors movements of financial assets and equity price risk movements by assessing the
expected changes in the different portfolios due to parallel movements of a 10% increase or decrease in the
Nigeria All share index with all other variables held constant and all the Company’s equity instruments in that
particular index moving proportionally.

As at 31 December 2023, the market value of quoted securities held by the Group is N10.5 billion (2022: N5.8
billion). If the all share index of the NGX moves by 100 basis points at 31 December 2023, the effect on profit
or loss would have been N247 million ( 2022: N 54 million).

(c) Credit Risk


The Company’s assets are exposed to credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty will be unable to pay
amounts in full when due. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is reflected in the carrying amounts
of financial assets on the statement of financial position. The main sources of the Company’s incoming cash
flows are the amounts of receivables from brokers and reinsurers. The Company manages the credit risk arising
from such sources by aging and monitoring the receivables. The Company conducts the review of current
and non-current receivables on a monthly basis and monitors the progress in the process of collection of the
premiums in accordance with the procedure stated in the Company’s internal control policy. The non-current
receivables are checked and assessed for impairment.

The overdue premiums are considered by the Company on case by case basis. If an overdue premium is
recognized by the Company as uncollectible, a notification is sent to the broker and the insurance agreement
is cancelled from the date of notification. The premium related to the period from the beginning of insurance
cover until the date of cancellation of the insurance agreement is considered a bad debt, and further steps right
up to legal actions are planned with regard to that bad debt.

Other areas where the Company is exposed to credit risk are:


•• amounts due from reinsurers for the insurance risks ceded;
•• amounts due from insurance intermediaries.
•• amounts of deposits held in banks and correspondent accounts

NEM is exposed to the following categories of credit risk;


Direct Default Risk - risk that NEM will not receive the cash flows or assets to which it is entitled because
brokers, clients and other debtors which NEM has a bilateral contract default on their obligations.

Concentration Risk – is the exposure to losses due to excessive concentration of business activities to individual
counterparties, groups of individual counterparties or related entities, counterparties in specific geographical
locations, industry sectors, specific products, etc.

Counterparty Risk - the risk that a counterparty is not able or willing to meet its financial obligations to the
Company as they fall due.

The following principles underpin the Company’s credit risk management policies:
•• Individuals who create the credit risk and those who manage the risk clearly understand the nature of the
risk;
•• The Company’s credit risk exposure is within the limits as approved by the Board;
•• Credit decisions are clear and explicit and in line with the business strategy and objectives as approved by
the Board;
•• Credit risk exposures shall be within the defined limits to ensure there is no excessive concentration and
that credit control procedures for managing large exposures and related counterparties are adhered to;
•• Appropriate classification of credit risk through periodic evaluation of the collectability of risk assets; and
•• Adequate loan loss provisioning to ensure that provisions or allowances are made to absorb anticipated
losses.
•• The expected payoffs more than compensate for the credit risks taken by the Company;
•• Credit risk taking decisions are explicit and clear;
•• There shall be clear delegated authorization limits for transactions;
•• Sufficient capital as a buffer is available to take credit risk;

The Company’s credit risk appetite shall be in line with its strategic objectives, available resources and the
provisions of NAICOM Operational Guidelines. In setting this appetite/tolerance limits, NEM takes into
consideration its corporate solvency level, risk capital and liquidity level , credit ratings, level of investments,
reinsurance and coinsurance arrangements, and nature and categories of its clients. The company’s credit risk
is subsequently analysed as follows.

(b) Financial instruments measured at fair value


IFRS 13 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques
are observable or unobservable. Observable input reflects market data obtained from independent sources;
unobservable inputs reflect the Group’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the
following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The Group considers relevant and
observable market prices in its valuations where possible.

(c) Fair valuation methods and assumptions

(i) Cash and bank balances


Cash and bank balances represent cash held with other banks. The fair value of these balances is their carrying
amounts.

For The Year Ended 31 December 2023

(ii) Equity securities


The fair values of quoted equity securities are determined by reference to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active
markets for identical assets. The fair value of the unquoted equity securities was determined on a net asset
value basis.

(iii) Debt securities


Treasury bills represent short term instruments issued by the Central bank of the jurisdiction where the Group
operates. The fair value of treasury bills and bonds at fair value are determined with reference to quoted
prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. The estimated fair value of bonds (asset or liability)
at amortised cost represents the discounted amount of estimated future cash flows expected to be received.
Expected cash flows are discounted at current market rates to determine fair value.

(iv) Other assets


Other assets represent monetary assets which usually have a short recycle period and as such the fair values
of these balances approximate their carrying amount.

51 Capital management Policy


NEM has over the years been deploying capital from earnings and additional equity funds to support growth
in business volumes while striving to meet dividend commitments to shareholders. To be able to continue to
generate and deploy capital both to grow core businesses and reward shareholders, there is need for the
Group to execute the right strategy, the right growth dynamics, the right cost structure and risk discipline as
well as the right capital management.

NEM’s capital management strategy focuses on the creation of shareholders’ value whilst meeting the crucial
and equally important objective of providing an appropriate level of capital to protect stakeholders’ interests
and satisfy regulators.

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are as follows:


•• To ensure that capital is, and will continue to be, adequate for the safety, soundness and stability of the
Group;
•• To generate sufficient capital to support the Group’s overall business strategy;
•• To ensure that the Group meets all regulatory capital ratios and the prudent buffer required by the Board;
•• To ensure that the average return on capital over a 3 -5 years performance cycle is sufficient to satisfy the
expectations of investors;
•• To maintain a strong risk rating;
•• To ensure that capital allocation decisions are optimal, considering the return on economic and regulatory
capital;
•• To determine the capital required to support each business activity based on returns generated on capital
to facilitate growth/expansion of existing businesses (i.e. capital allocation);
•• To establish the efficiency of capital utilization.

(a) Minimum Capital Requirement


The Parent complied with the minimum capital requirement of N3billion for non-life operations. This is shown

Asset and Liability Management


The Group is exposed to a range of financial risks through its financial assets, financial liabilities, reinsurance
assets and insurance liabilities.
Asset and Liability management (ALM) attempts to address financial risks the group is exposed to which
include interest rate risks, foreign currency risks, equity price risks and credit risks. The major financial risk is
that in the long term its investment proceeds are not sufficient to fund the obligations arising from its insurance
and investment contracts. ALM ensures that specific assets of the group is allocated to cover reinsurance and
liabilities of the Group.
The Group manages these positions within an ALM framework that has been developed to achieve long-term
investment returns in excess of its obligations under insurance contracts. The notes below show how the
Group has managed its financial risks.

The main objectives of the Parent when managing capital are:


to ensure that the Minimum Capital Requirement of N3 billion as required by the Insurance Act CAP I17, LFN
2004, is maintained at all times.

This is a risk based capital method of measuring the minimum amount appropriate for an insurance company
to support its overall business operations in consideration of its size and risk profile. The calculation is based on
applying capital factors to amongst others, the Parent’s assets, outstanding claims, unearned premium reserve
and assets above a certain concentration limit.
