For long duration contracts, what is the required disclosure UEPR?

Explanation:
For long-duration contracts, revenue from premiums is earned over the contract term, not all at once. The amount of premium that has been collected but not yet earned needs to be disclosed as a reserve—the UEPR. This unearned premium reserve shows how much premium revenue will be recognized in future periods and signals the liability tied to future coverage as of the valuation date. It provides transparency about timing differences between premium receipts and the period over which coverage is provided, which is precisely what the required disclosure is intended to convey. Other reserve concepts describe different liabilities or features and do not fulfill this specific disclosure need.
