The actuary should comply with the standard except to the extent it may conflict with applicable law (statutes, regulations, and other legally binding authority) or authoritative GAAP guidance (such as Accounting Standards Codification [ASC], Staff Accounting Bulletins issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and other guidance issued by authoritative bodies). Notable changes made to the exposure draft include revising the title, purpose, and scope to encompass long-duration life, annuity, and health products; and clarifying the scope to include the review of GAAP financial statements.

In addition, the standard applies to actuaries measuring or evaluating LTC liabilities within an LTC benefit plan. The standard does not apply to actuaries providing actuarial services related to LTC benefits for Medicaid-eligible recipients unless the actuarial services are for a long-range financial projection (generally more than five years) of LTC benefit expenditures and eligible recipients under the Medicaid program.

The ASOP provides guidance to actuaries when performing actuarial services with respect to measuring obligations under a defined benefit pension plan and determining periodic costs or actuarially determined contributions for such plans. While other actuarial standards of practice address assumptions, asset valuation methods, and assessment of risk, the revised ASOP addresses broader measurement issues, including cost allocation procedures and contribution allocation procedures. The standard provides guidance for coordinating and integrating all of the elements of an actuarial valuation of a pension plan. The standard is effective for any actuarial report issued on or after Feb. 15, 2023; and if the measurement date in the actuarial report is on or after Feb. 15, 2023.The ASB also approved for exposure a revision of ASOP No. 29, now titled Expense Provisions for Future Cost Estimates for Prospective Property/Casualty Risk Transfer and Risk Retention. The ASOP applies to actuaries when developing or reviewing expense provisions for future cost estimates for prospective property/casualty risk transfer or risk retention. This includes expense provisions developed or reviewed for insurance, reinsurance, self-insurance, loss portfolio transfers, or any other mechanisms for prospective property/casualty risk transfer or risk retention. If the actuary’s actuarial services involve reviewing expense provisions developed by another party, the actuary should use the guidance in the ASOP to the extent practicable. The comment deadline is May 31, 2022.
