At its meeting held on June 25, 2015, the IASB continued its discussions on the accounting for insurance contracts with participation features. Specifically, the IASB took decisions on a) the variable fee approach for direct participation contracts; and b) the recognition of the contractual service margin (CSM) in profit or loss for contracts with participation features.
