Accounting for the lawsuit is complicated at this stage because the company and/or the lawyer would be unwilling to admit in print (i.e., in the financial statements) that they would settle the lawsuit, and at what amount. This might provide too much information to the plaintiff that hurt company interests. Note disclosure of the lawsuit, in general terms, is the likely outcome, although an accrual for $150,000 would be made if the company were to share this information with its accountants. This is the ethically appropriate outcome. When the accrual is made, separate disclosure would be minimal so its treatment would not be obvious to the plaintiff.

PBG’s required their adjusting staff to adjust reserves within two business days from receipt of any documentation that may impact the value (indemnity or medical) of their claim. Through Protective’s quality control and supervisor diary reviews, Protective determine the two business day turn around time was not a realistic goal for the technical staff to achieve nor was it advantages to management of their claim files. Therefore, Protective revamped there BPG’s, extending the reserve adjustment time frame to 10 day business days from first receipt of a claim changing document. Protective’s has since found, the 10 business day turn around time to be more beneficial to their reserve process and management of the claim. The extended time frame provides their adjusters with the opportunity to evaluate their claims in greater detail while being more accurate in their reserve postings.
