The Company applied to Republic of Turkey Ministry of Treasury and Finance on January 17, 2013 with letter numbered 300, so as to receive permission to calculate IBNR reserve for General Losses branch as agriculture and non agriculture sub branches separately. Republic of Turkey Ministry of Treasury and Finance has given permission the Company in order to calculate IBNR reserve for General Losses within two sub branches with the letter dated January 28, 2013 and numbered 24179134. As of December 31, 2019, the Company recognised the amount that arose due to change in calculation method for IBNR on General Losses branch. With the Circular 2017/7 announced by the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Treasury and Finance regarding “the discount of net cash flow from outstanding claim files”. Since the discount of “Land Vehicle Liability” and “General Liability” branches has become compulsory, according to the Article 1 of the circular, this is considered as a change of accounting policies and financial statements have been retrospectively restated. Companies are able to discount net cash flow from outstanding claim files according to the methods outlined by the circular.
