(I) The change in the method of recognizing revenue due to sale of bancassurance products

Acquisition of a majority of insurance products related to credit facilities offered by the Group is voluntary, hence in previous reporting periods the Group treated such insurance products and credit products independently and the revenue due to sale of bancassurance products were accounted for on a one-off basis as commission income. If an insurance product collateralized a given credit facility, it was treated as facility-related item and the Group recognized a portion of the revenue due to sale of bancassurance products, estimated as the fair value of the agency services on a one-off basis as commission income and the remaining portion was accounted for as a an element of the effective interest rate of the facility under interest income.

With relation to the letter of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority of March 2013 addressed to the entire banking sector and concerning the method of recognizing revenue due to sale of bancassurance products, the Bank changed the method of recognizing the revenue in question in the accounting records for 2013. The change concerned bancassurance services, which were assessed as unrelated to credit facilities, and consisted in:

  • deferring a revenue portion corresponding to the fee for time spent by the Bank’s staff on post-sales support for insurance services (in accordance with the stage of completion principle);
  • recognizing provisions for potential reimbursement of the remuneration by the Bank due to early termination of insurance policies;
  • adequate recognition of cost of selling the insurance, in line with the matching principle.

Changes resulting from the implemented methodology were recognized in the accounting records as at 30 June 2013 and covered the period from January to June 2013. As the changes made did not significantly affect the Bank’s equity, the Bank did not adjust the opening balance for 2013.

In December 2013, similarly to other banks, the Bank received a letter of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority with detailed guidelines concerning the accounting treatment of the revenue due to sale of bancassurance products. The letter recommended more stringent criteria than those applied by the Group to assessing direct relation of an insurance product and a credit facility and implemented a fair value model to distribution of the agency fee for the sale of insurance. The Group applied changes to the accounting treatment of revenue due to sale of bancassurance products to sales carried out in 2013 and in previous years. Retrospective changes in the accounting principles (policy) resulted in restating the financial data in the approved financial statements for prior years, i.e. the opening balance as at 1 January 2012 and, consequently, as at 1 January 2013 and the financial performance for 2012.

Following the changes in the accounting principles (policy) the Group recognizes the revenue and expense due to sale of bancassurance products related to credit facilities in the following manner:

  • cash loans with insurance policy – from 6% to 11% of the revenue due to sale of bancassurance products related to cash loans is recognized on a one-off basis as commission income, while the remaining portion of the income is accounted for as interest income using the effective interest method during the credit financing period;
  • mortgage loans with insurance policy – from 0% to 15% of the revenue due to sale of bancassurance products related to mortgage loans is recognized on a one-off basis as commission income, while the remaining portion of the income is accounted for as interest income using the effective interest method during the credit financing period.

The costs of sale of bancassurance products are accounted for proportionally to the method of recognizing the revenue due to sale of bancassurance products related to the facility.

 

(II) Change in the method of recognizing actuarial gains and losses on measurement of post-employment defined benefit plans

The change results from the revised IAS 19, introducing the principle of recognizing actuarial gains and losses from measurement of defined post-employment benefits related to changes in actuarial assumptions in other comprehensive income instead of profit or loss, as it was the case so far. In 2013 the Group introduced a change in accounting principles (policy) related to presentation of actuarial gains and losses with relation to the measurement of provisions for retirement and pension benefits. Retrospective changes in the accounting principles (policy) resulted in restating the financial data in the approved consolidated financial statements for prior years, i.e. the opening balance as at 1 January 2012 and, consequently, as at 1 January 2013 and the consolidated financial performance for 2012. The adjustment did not affect the total equity as at 1 January 2012, 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2013.

The impact of the aforementioned changes in accounting principles (policy) on individual items of the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of other comprehensive income and consolidated statement of financial position in previous years has been presented in tables below.
