The purpose of this course is to develop a basic understanding of the accounting function for an insurance organization with specific emphasis on captive accounting, where applicable. Students will learn how actions of an insurance organization have an effect on the books. Both the GAAP and statutory basis of accounting will be discussed. Students will be given the opportunity to gain insight into insurance accounting by hands-on activities and collaboration with peers.
The goal of this course is to provide both technical and practical insight to those hoping to learn more about the accounting function of an insurance organization.
In this course, participants will learn:
- Key terminology used in insurance accounting
