Experience adjustment is a difference between: (a) for premium receipts (and any related cash flows such as insurance acquisition cash flows and insurance premium taxes) - the estimate at the beginning of the period of the amounts expected in the period and the actual cash flows in the period; or (b) for insurance service expenses (excluding insurance acquisition expenses) - the estimate at the beginning of the period of the amounts expected to be incurred in the period and the actual amounts incurred in the period.

- Definition The increase (decrease) in insurance contracts liability (asset) resulting from insurance acquisition cash flows. Insurance acquisition cash flows are cash flows arising from the costs of selling, underwriting and starting a group of insurance contracts (issued or expected to be issued) that are directly attributable to the portfolio of insurance contracts to which the group belongs. Such cash flows include cash flows that are not directly attributable to individual contracts or groups of insurance contracts within the portfolio.
