520  ‎$a‎IFRS requires that for purchase accounting purposes, insurance liabilities are measured at their fair value. Purchase accounting for insurance contracts proves to be a challenging topic for standard setters, preparers, and users, given the absence of specific guidance in IFRS for this particular case. Recent developments, in particular the 2010 IFRS Insurance Contract Exposure Draft, the 2010 Solvency II QIS 5 Technical Specifications and the 2009 Market Consistent Embedded Value (MCEV) Principles, may be seen as providing relevant techniques in this context but do not present clear guidance specifically for fair values as required for purchase accounting purposes. This paper compares fair value as required for purchase accounting within the current IFRS Phase II process, the proposed Solvency II regulations and the practical actuarial concept of MCEV. Potential investors may benefit from this as discretionary elements in M&A transaction accounting, and their implications should be taken into account early in the transaction process of insurance companies.
