      • The Institute recently sent two issues papers on diverse accounting matters relating
        to life insurance to the Financial Accounting Standards Board for consideration.

        • The first, Accounting for Key-Person Life Insurance, discusses various proposed
          methods of accounting by policyholders for the cost of key-person life insurance. It also discusses a proposed method of accounting for such insurance purchased to fund deferred compensation or other postemployment benefits. Because of the current diversity in practice, the accounting standards executive committee
          recommends that the FASB consider this matter.
        • The second paper, Accounting by Stock Life Insurance Companies for Annuities, Universal Life Insurance and Related Products and Accounting for Nonguaranteed-Premium Contracts, discusses accounting by stock life insurance
          companies for various relatively new forms of long-duration life insurance
          contracts.
