Insurance [Abstract] |
Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs | 4. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs Deferred policy acquisition costs represent those costs that are incremental and directly related to the successful acquisition of new or the renewal of existing insurance policies. We defer incremental costs that result directly from, and are essential to, the acquisition or renewal of an insurance policy. We also defer a portion of employee total compensation costs directly related to time spent performing specific acquisition or renewal activities. These costs are deferred and expensed over the life of the related policies. Major categories of the Company’s deferred policy acquisition costs are summarized as follows:
