foreword deregulation and de-bureaucratisation measures taken by the government have given significant flexibility and opportunity to the public, including insurance companies, to develop and play a greater role in the social and economic life of this country. faced with new challenges, insurance companies need to create a system to improve the flow of their business activities, to manage and to maintain their financial condition. one such system required is a financial accounting standard for more informative, more accurate financial statements of life insurance companies. recognising this, the indonesian institute of accountants in cooperation with the indonesian insurance council and the directorate of insuranceministry of finance, has developed an accounting standard for life insurance industry. this accounting standard is set (1) in the spirit of harmonising with international financial standards, but (2) using as a reference official accounting standards of modern countries such as fasb/fas of the u.s., (3) considering the needs of public company financial statements and the global stock exchange, (4) considering rules and regulations of the insurance law, (5) considering opinions of the government, experts, practitioners and watchers during setting process and public hearing, (6) considering condition and culture of the indonesian business, (7) in the spirit and in perspective of the macro economics. this standard has been set based on the decision of the indonesian institute of accountants. this standard is expected to (1) give protection to the policy holders and the public, (2) build an insurance business which is conservative, prudent and healthy, (3) make use of globally accepted accounting technology in efforts to create a more prosperous indonesian society. accounting standard for life insurance is a new standard that requires the participation of all parties to ensure the dissemination, comprehension, application and future revisions of the standard. the indonesian institute of accountants wish to thank to: mr. drs. mar'ie muhammad mr. dr. ir. bambang subianto institutions mr. drs. sophar l. toruan, mpa drs. kartomo wiryobroto

speech from the general chairperson of indonesian insurance council on the approvement of financial accounting standard 36 on life insurance accounting we all believe that a standard financial accounting procedure is needed in every industry, including the insurance industry. the application of different accounting systems in accounting for insurance companies makes it difficult to compare companies. in addition, insurance laws and regulations require the application of a standard accounting system. for this purpose, an 'exposure draft' for financial accounting standard 36, accounting for life insurance companies, has been produced in cooperation between the indonesian institute of accountants and indonesian insurance council (formalised by an agreement dated june 1, 1995). further, the central committee of the indonesian institute of accountants has legalised that draft so that now we have the statement of financial accounting standard for life insurance companies. we hope that members of the indonesian insurance council adjust their financial accounting procedure with this financial accounting standard. we would like to thank to the central committee of the indonesian institute of accountants and its members for their assistance to the indonesian insurance council in preparing both statement of financial accounting standard which will benefit development in indonesia's insurance industry. we also hope that this cooperation will continue in the future.
