Accounting For Catastrophe Reserves, United States. Securities And Exchange Commission Jan 1973

Accounting For Catastrophe Reserves, United States. Securities And Exchange Commission

Federal Publications

In the past two years a number of companies in the property and casualty insurance field have adopted the accounting policy of making a provision from each period's income to cover a portion of major losses expected to occur in future periods. The reserves provided, generally called catastrophe reserves, have been justified by the companies on the grounds that periodic premiums include an amount to cover such losses which occur irregularly and the process of matching revenue and expense therefor requires accrual of a provision for such losses.

Pro Rata Stock Distributions To Shareholders, United States. Securities And Exchange Commission Jan 1972

Pro Rata Stock Distributions To Shareholders, United States. Securities And Exchange Commission

Federal Publications

Several instances have come to the attention of the Commission in which registrants have made pro rata stock distributions which were misleading. These situations arise particularly when a registrant makes distributions at a time when its retained earnings or its current earnings are substantially less than the fair value of the shares distributed. Under present generally accepted accounting rules, if the ratio of distribution is less than 25 percent of shares of the same class outstanding, the fair value of the shares issued must be transferred from retained earnings to other capital accounts. Failure to make this transfer in connection …
