ANNUAL REPORT 2016/17
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements
in accordance with the accounting policies of the company and for such internal controls as
management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are
free from material misstatements whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements management is responsible for assessing the company’s
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern
and using the going concern basis for accounting unless management either intends to liquidate
the company or to close operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the company’s financial reporting
process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as
a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an
auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but
is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

1. ESTABLISHMENT
Oromia Insurance Company S.C was established in accordance with Article 304 of the Commercial
Code of Ethiopia and the National Bank of Ethiopia Directive 746/2012 with the objective of
providing insurance services and to engage in other ancillary business activities.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Accounting policies of the
Company, the Commercial Code of Ethiopia of 1960 and the proclamation of Insurance business.
The financial statements are prepared as of and for the year ended 30 June 2017 has been
presented in Ethiopian Birr, unless otherwise stated. Due to rounding, numbers presented may
not add up precisely to the totals provided.
Recognition
Financial assets are generally recognized and derecognized on the trade date, i.e. when the
Oromia Insurance commits to purchase or sell securities or incur a liability. Financial instruments
are initially recognized at cost plus directly attributable transaction costs.
Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the balance sheet
only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an
intention to either settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
De-recognition
A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial
asset expire or the Oromia Insurance transfers the asset and substantially all of the risks and
rewards of ownership.
Cash and cash equivalents include balances with banks payable on demand, balances with
central banks, cash on hand, treasury bills to the extent they are not included in financial assets
held for trading, as well as checks and bills of exchange which are eligible for refinancing at
central banks, subject to a maximum term of six months from the date of acquisition.
INVESTMENTS
Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are debt securities with fixed or determinable payments and fixed
maturities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. These
securities are initially recognized at cost and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
nominal interest method.
REINSURANCE LIABILITIES
Liabilities related to reinsurance are reported on gross basis without being offset against balance
due from reinsurers. The amount of reserves ceded to reinsurers is estimated in a manner
consistent with the treaty entered into with the reinsurers. Oromia Insurance will also claim the
reinsurers in a manner consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured risks, i.e.,
to the extent that Oromia Insurance is reinsured for the risks, the respective reinsures shall cover
the claims.
The calculation of deferred tax assets is based on tax loss carry forwards, unused tax credits and
on deductible temporary differences between company’s depreciation/amortization expense
reported for financial reporting purpose and for tax purpose. The tax rates used for the calculation
of deferred taxes are the local rates applicable in Ethiopia. Deferred tax assets are recognized
only to the extent it is probable that sufficient future taxable income will be available for their
realization.
OTHER ASSETS
Other assets primarily consist of receivables, accrued dividends, interest and rent as well as
own-used property and equipment. Receivables are generally recorded at face value less any
payments received, net of valuation allowances. Own-used property and equipment generally is
carried at cost less accumulated depreciationand impairments. The assets are depreciated on a
straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as shown hereunder:

ANNUAL REPORT 2016/17
Insurance contracts
Insurance contracts under which Oromia Insurance accepts significant insurance risk are
accounted for under the requirements/guidance of the National Bank of Ethiopia.
Reinsurance contracts
The Oromia Insurance financial statements reflect the effects of ceded and assumed insurance
contracts. Assumed insurance refers to the acceptance of certain insurance risks by the company
that it has underwritten. Ceded insurance refers to the transfer of insurance risk, along with the
respective premiums, to one or more reinsurers who will share in the risks. Assumed reinsurance
premiums, commissions and claim settlements, as well as the reinsurance element of technical
provisions are accounted for in accordance with the conditions of the reinsurance contracts and
with consideration of the original contracts for which the reinsurance was concluded.
UNEARNED PREMIUMS
For short-duration insurance contracts, like most of the property and casualty contracts,
premiums to be earned in future years are recorded as unearned premiums. These premiums are
earned in subsequent periods in relation to the insurance coverage provided.
RESERVES FOR LOSS AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES
Reserves are established for the payment of losses and loss adjustment expenses (LAE) on claims
which have occurred but are not yet settled. Reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses fall
into two categories: case reserves for reported claims and reserves for incurred
but not reported losses (IBNR). Case reserves for reported claims are based on estimates of
future payments that will be made with respect to claims, including LAE relating to such claims.
The estimates reflect the informed judgment of claims personnel based on general insurance
reserving practices and knowledge of the nature and value of a specific type of claim. These
case reserves are regularly re-evaluated in the ordinary course of the settlement process and
adjustments are made as new information becomes available.
IBNR reserves are established to recognize the estimated cost of losses that have occurred but
where Oromia Insurance has not yet been notified. IBNR reserves, similar to case reserves for
reported claims, are established to recognize the estimated costs, including expenses, necessary
to bring claims to final settlement. Oromia Insurance relies on its past experience, adjusted for
current trends and any other relevant factors to estimate IBNR reserves. IBNR reserves are estimates
based on actuarial and statistical projections of the expected cost of the ultimate settlement
and administration of claims. The analyses are based on facts and circumstances known at the
time, predictions of future events, estimates of future inflation and other societal and economic
factors. Trends in claim frequency, severity and time lag in reporting are examples of factors used
ANNUAL REPORT 2016/17
in projecting the IBNR reserves. IBNR reserves are reviewed and revised periodically as additional
information becomes available and actual claims are reported. The minimum IBNR reserve,
however, is 10% of the net premium earned as per the National Bank of Ethiopia requirement.
In general, reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses are not discounted, except when
payment amounts are fixed and timing is reasonably determinable.

are calculated separately for each individual policy to cover the unexpired portion of written
premiums. Premiums ceded for reinsurance are deducted from premiums net of reinsurance
commission earned.
