Insurance & Reinsurance
It is imperative that professionals who serve the needs of the insurance and reinsurance industries be well versed in the regulatory process and governing accounting standards. That guidance, depending upon the circumstance, could include Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), Statutory Accounting Principles (SAP) set by state insurance departments, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) set by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), or other accounting standards set by jurisdictional governing bodies.
Our Insurance & Reinsurance Industries Consulting and Financial Expert Credentials
The professionals at Ocean Tomo are uniquely qualified to provide clients related to the insurance industry with financial reporting guidance, litigation consulting, and expert witness testimony. When consulting with clients, our advice comes from having been actively involved in the accounting standard-setting process by serving on committees of the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) such as the Insurance Companies Committee, Financial Reporting Executive Committee (FinREC), Accounting Standards Executive Committee (AcSEC), Insurance Experts Panel, and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants/National Association of Insurance Commissioners, (AICPA/NAIC) Task Force.
Ocean Tomo professionals have specialized expertise in accounting, financial reporting, internal controls and economic damages analysis. Team members have served as chairpersons or members of task forces, including those that have issued the authoritative guidance dealing with the audit of property and casualty insurance company loss reserves and the accounting for reinsurance arrangements that do not transfer risk.
