Onerous contracts
Onerous contracts are identified through regular reviews of the terms and conditions of contracts as well as on the acquisition of businesses. A provision for onerous contracts is calculated as the present value of the portion which management deem to be onerous in light of the current market conditions, discounted using market-related rates. An annual expense is recognised over the life of the contracts.
Insurance liabilities
Insurance liabilities include amounts provided for under IFRS 4 and include: unearned premiums, which represent the proportion of premiums written in the current year which relate to risks that have not expired by the end of the financial year and are calculated on a time proportionate basis; deferred acquisition costs, which are recognised on a basis consistent with the related provisions for unearned premiums; claims, which are calculated on the settlement amount outstanding at year end; and, claims incurred but not reported, for claims arising from events that occurred before the close of the accounting period but which had not been reported to the Group by that date, and are calculated based on the preceding six years’ insurance premium revenue multiplied by percentages specified in the Short Term Insurance Act.
Legal claims
Legal claims include provisions raised under IAS 37 for the estimated cost of claims not covered by the Group’s insurance policies and in certain instances for the cost of claims below the Group’s inner deductibles. Legal claims have long lead times and the provision is determined using actuarial assumptions.
Other
Included in other is a provision raised for the estimated cost of honouring warranties on certain products sold where the manufacturers’ warranty is inadequate or not available, R21 million (2018: R32 million).
