- Definition

The increase (decrease) in insurance contracts liability (asset) resulting from the effects of groups of onerous contracts initially recognised in the period. An insurance contract is onerous at the date of initial recognition if the fulfilment cash flows allocated to the contract, any previously recognised acquisition cash flows and any cash flows arising from the contract at the date of initial recognition in total are a net outflow.
