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.

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.
•• 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.
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.

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

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.

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.

Independent Auditor’s Report Cont’d
From the matters communicated with the Audit and Compliance Committee, we determine those matters that were
of most significance in the audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements of the current period and are
therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes
public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not
be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication..
Penalties
The Company paid penalties in respect of contravention of the requirements of the National Insurance Commission
Guidelines and Circulars during the year ended 31 December 2023. Details of penalties paid are disclosed in Note
36(e) to the consolidated and separate financial statements.
Compliance with FRC Guidance on Assurance Engagement Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In accordance with the requirements of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria, we performed a limited assurance
engagement and reported on management’s assessment of the Group’s internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2023. The work performed was done in accordance with ISAE 3000 (Revised) Assurance
Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information and the FRC Guidance on Assurance
Engagement Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. We have issued an unmodified conclusion in our
report dated 29 May 2024.

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.
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:
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.

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.
1.4.4 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.
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.

modified retrospective approach was adopted. This involves making assumptions about future claim payments,

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:
IFRS 17 Insurance contracts. This establishes the principles for the rec- 1 June 2020 1 January 2023
ognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance
contracts within the scope of the standard.
IAS 1 Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS 12 February 2021 1 January 2023

IAS 12 Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a single 7 May 2021 1 January 2023
Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12)
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.
2.1 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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:

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

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:
(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.

(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.

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax
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.
(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

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.
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.

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

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.
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.

(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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
•• 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.
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.

2.51 Insurance finance income and expenses
Insurance finance income or expenses present the effect of the time value of money and the change in the time
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.
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.
At 1 January 2022 group of risk on transition to IFRS 17 are identified and measured with the following
approaches:
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:

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.

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

Annual Report & Accounts, 31 December, 2023
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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

our business and strategic objectives.
i. Establish a clearly defined risk management process for identifying, measuring, controlling, monitoring and
reporting risks.

insignificant. This is due to the short term and fixed interest nature of the majority of the financial assets measured
at amortized cost.

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).
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.
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.

Credit Risk Principles
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.
