  • How governmental investors using GASB GAAP handle captive investments, including the nuances of component units, investments, and joint venture accounting.
  • Statutory accounting methods employed by insurance companies for captive interests, such as market valuation and the equity method, and the factors that determine their use.
  • The importance of proper financial reporting for captives and alternative risk vehicles, and how business decisions directly influence accounting treatments.
