Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Nature of Operations | NOTE 1· Nature of Operations Brown & Brown, Inc., a Florida corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Brown & Brown” or the “Company”) is a diversified insurance agency, wholesale brokerage, insurance programs and services organization that markets and sells to its customers insurance products and services, primarily in the property and casualty area. Brown & Brown’s business is divided into four reportable segments: the Retail Segment, which provides a broad range of insurance products and services to commercial, public entity, professional and individual customers; the National Programs Segment, acting as a managing general agent (“MGA”), provides professional liability and related package products for certain professionals, flood coverage, targeted products and services designated for specific industries, trade groups, governmental entities and market niches all of which are delivered through nationwide networks of independent agents, and markets; the Wholesale Brokerage Segment, which markets and sells excess and surplus commercial insurance and reinsurance, primarily through independent agents and brokers; and the Services Segment, which provides insurance-related services, including third-party claims administration and comprehensive medical utilization management services in both the workers’ compensation and all-lines liability arenas, as well as Medicare set-aside services, Social Security disability and Medicare benefits advocacy services, and catastrophe claims adjusting services. In addition, as the result of our acquisition of the stock of The Wright Insurance Group, LLC (“Wright”), in May 2014, we own a flood insurance carrier, Wright National Flood Insurance Company (“WNFIC”), that is a Wright subsidiary. This carrier’s business consists of policies written pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Program (“NFIP”), the program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) and several excess flood insurance policies which are fully reinsured. |

Condensed Financial Information of Parent Company Only Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Basis of Financial Reporting | NOTE 2· Basis of Financial Reporting The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We continually evaluate our estimates, which are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for our judgments about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities, which values are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance on disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This guidance addresses management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect to early adopt this guidance and it believes the adoption of this guidance will not have material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company beginning November 1, 2017 and, at that time the Company may adopt the new standard under the full retrospective approach or the modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Financial Reporting Related to Insurance Company Operations Reinsurance The Company protects itself from claims related losses by reinsuring all claims related risk exposure. The only line of insurance the Company writes is flood insurance associated with the Wright acquisition, with all exposure reinsured with FEMA for basic admitted policies conforming to the National Flood Insurance Program. For excess flood insurance policies, all exposure is reinsured with a reinsurance carrier. Reinsurance does not legally discharge the ceding insurer from the primary liability for the full amount due under the reinsured policies. Reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursement and related reserves related to ceded business are accounted for on a basis consistent with the accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of reinsurance contracts. Premiums earned and losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred are reported net of reinsurance amounts. Other underwriting expenses are shown net of earned ceding commission income. The liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses and unearned premiums are reported gross of ceded reinsurance recoverable. Balances due from reinsurers on unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, including an estimate of such recoverables related to reserves for incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) losses, are reported as assets and are included in reinsurance recoverable even though amounts due on unpaid loss and loss adjustment expense are not recoverable from the reinsurer until such losses are paid. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any material credit risk through its reinsurance as the reinsurer is FEMA for basic admitted flood policies and a national reinsurance carrier for excess flood policies, which is rated A+ from AM Best. Historically, no amounts due from reinsurance carriers have been written off as uncollectible. Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expense Unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses include amounts determined on individual claims and other estimates based on the past experience of WNFIC and the policyholders for incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims, less anticipated salvage and subrogation recoverable. The methods of making such estimates and for establishing the resulting reserves are continually reviewed and updated, and any adjustments resulting therefrom are reflected in operations currently. WNFIC engages the services of outside actuarial consulting firms (the “Actuaries”) to assist on an annual basis to render an opinion on the sufficiency of the Company’s estimates for unpaid losses and related loss adjustment expenses. The Actuaries utilize both industry experience and the Company’s own experience to develop estimates of those amounts as of year-end. These estimated liabilities are subject to the impact of future changes in claim severity, frequency and other factors. In spite of the variability inherent in such estimates, management believes that the liabilities for unpaid losses and related loss adjustment expenses are adequate. Premiums Premiums are recognized as income over the coverage period of the related policies. Unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums written that relate to the unexpired terms of the policies in force and are determined on a daily pro rata basis. |

Business Combinations | NOTE 4· Business Combinations During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Brown & Brown acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of five insurance intermediaries, all of the stock of one insurance intermediary that owns an insurance carrier and several books of business (customer accounts). Additionally, miscellaneous adjustments were recorded to the purchase price allocation of certain prior acquisitions completed within the last twelve months as permitted by ASC Topic 805 — Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). All of these acquisitions were acquired primarily to expand Brown & Brown’s core business and to attract and hire high-quality individuals. The recorded purchase price for all acquisitions consummated after January 1, 2009 included an estimation of the fair value of liabilities associated with any potential earn-out provisions. Subsequent changes in the fair value of earn-out obligations will be recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income when incurred. The fair value of earn-out obligations is based on the present value of the expected future payments to be made to the sellers of the acquired businesses in accordance with the provisions outlined in the respective purchase agreements. In determining fair value, the acquired business’s future performance is estimated using financial projections developed by management for the acquired business and reflects market participant assumptions regarding revenue growth and/or profitability. The expected future payments are estimated on the basis of the earn-out formula and performance targets specified in each purchase agreement compared to the associated financial projections. These payments are then discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted rate that takes into consideration the likelihood that the forecasted earn-out payments will be made. Based on the acquisition date and the complexity of the underlying valuation work, certain amounts included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may be provisional and thus subject to further adjustments within the permitted measurement period, as defined in ASC 805. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, several adjustments were made within the permitted measurement period that resulted in a decrease in the aggregate purchase price of the affected acquisitions of $93,000 relating to the assumption of certain liabilities. Cash paid for acquisitions were $720.1 million and $379.7 million in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We completed 6 acquisitions in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014. We completed 4 acquisitions (excluding books of business purchases) in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, with the largest being Beecher Carlson Holdings, Inc. which was effective July 1, 2013 and cash paid totaled to $364.2 million.
The following table summarizes the aggregate purchase price allocations made as of the date of the acquisitions for the current-year acquisitions and adjustments made during the measurement period for prior-year acquisitions:
The following table summarizes the adjustments made to the estimated fair values along with the aggregate assets and liabilities acquired as of the date of each acquisition:
The weighted average useful lives for the amortizable intangible assets acquired in the current year are as follows: purchased customer accounts, 15.0 years; and non-compete agreements, 3.3 years. Goodwill of $506,335,000 was allocated to the Retail, National Programs, Wholesale Brokerage and Services Segments in the amounts of $71,449,000, $427,802,000, $7,323,000 and ($239,000), respectively. Of the total goodwill of $506,335,000, $141,757,000 is currently deductible for income tax purposes and $351,641,000 is non-deductible. The remaining $12,937,000 relates to the recorded earn-out payables and will not be deductible until it is earned and paid. The results of operations for the acquisitions completed during 2014 have been combined with those of the Company since the acquisition date. The total revenues and income before income taxes from the acquisitions completed through September 30, 2014, included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, were $77,064,000 and $5,166,000, respectively. If the acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of the respective periods, the Company’s results of operations would be as shown in the following table. These unaudited pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations that would have occurred had the acquisitions actually been made at the beginning of the respective periods.
As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, the fair values of the estimated acquisition earn-out payables were re-evaluated and measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3). The resulting additions, payments, and net changes, as well as the interest expense accretion on the estimated acquisition earn-out payables, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, were as follows:
Of the $52,326,000 estimated acquisition earn-out payables as of September 30, 2014, $19,751,000 was recorded as accounts payable and $32,575,000 was recorded as other non-current liabilities. |

On September 15, 2011, the $100.0 million of Series A Notes were redeemed on their normal maturity date through use of funds from the Master Agreement (defined below). As of July 15, 2014 Series B notes were redeemed at maturity using proceeds from the Credit Facility (defined below). On January 9, 2012, the Company entered into: (1) an amended and restated revolving and term loan credit agreement (the “SunTrust Agreement”) with SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust”) that provided for (a) a $100.0 million term loan (the “SunTrust Term Loan”) and (b) a $50.0 million revolving line of credit (the “SunTrust Revolver”) and (2) a $50.0 million promissory note. The maturity date for the SunTrust Term Loan and the SunTrust Revolver was December 31, 2016, at which time all outstanding principal and unpaid interest would have been due. On May 20, 2014, in connection with closing the Wright acquisition and funding of the Credit Facility (as defined below), the SunTrust Term Loan was paid in full using proceeds from the Credit Facility and the SunTrust Revolver was also terminated at that time. On January 26, 2012, the Company entered into a term loan agreement (the “JPM Agreement”) with JPMorgan that provided for a $100.0 million term loan (the “JPM Term Loan”). The JPM Term Loan was fully funded on January 26, 2012, and provided the financing to fully repay (1) the JPM Bridge Facility and (2) the SunTrust Revolver. As a result of the January 26, 2012 financing and repayments, the JPM Bridge Facility was terminated and the SunTrust Revolver’s amount outstanding was reduced to zero. The maturity date for the JPM Term Loan was December 31, 2016, at which time all outstanding principal and unpaid interest would have been due. On May 20, 2014, in connection with closing the Wright acquisition and funding of the Credit Facility (as defined below), the JPM Term Loan was paid in full and terminated using proceeds from the Credit Facility. On July 1, 2013, in conjunction with the acquisition of Beecher Carlson Holdings, Inc., the Company entered into: (1) a revolving loan agreement (the “Wells Fargo Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. that provided for a $50.0 million revolving line of credit (the “Wells Fargo Revolver”) and (2) a term loan agreement (the “Bank of America Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”) that provided for a $30.0 million term loan (the “Bank of America Term Loan”). The maturity date for the Wells Fargo Revolver is December 31, 2016, at which time all outstanding principal and unpaid interest will be due. The Wells Fargo Revolver may be increased by up to $50.0 million (bringing the total amount available to $100.0 million). The calculation of interest and fees for the Wells Fargo Agreement is generally based on the Company’s funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio. Interest is charged at a rate equal to 1.00% to 1.40% above LIBOR or 1.00% below the Base Rate, each as more fully described in the Wells Fargo Agreement. Fees include an up-front fee, an availability fee of 0.175% to 0.25%, and a letter of credit margin fee of 1.00% to 1.40%. The obligations under the Wells Fargo Revolver are unsecured and the Wells Fargo Agreement includes various covenants, limitations and events of default that are customary for similar facilities for similar borrowers. As of April 16, 2014, in connection with the signing of the Credit Facility an amendment to the agreement was established to reduce the total revolving loan commitment from $50.0 million to $25.0 million. There were no borrowings against the Wells Fargo Revolver as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The maturity date for the Bank of America Term Loan was December 31, 2016, at which time all outstanding principal and unpaid interest would have been due. The Bank of America Term Loan was funded in the amount of $30.0 million on July 1, 2013. On May 20, 2014, in connection with closing the Wright acquisition and funding of the Credit Facility, the term loan was paid in full using proceeds from the Credit Facility (as defined below). The 30-day Adjusted LIBOR Rate as of September 30, 2014 was 0.19%.
On April 17, 2014, the Company entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and certain other banks as co-syndication agents and co-documentation agents (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement in the amount of $1,350.0 million provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) in the initial amount of $800.0 million and unsecured term loans in the initial amount of $550.0 million, either or both of which may, subject to lenders’ discretion, potentially be increased by up to $500.0 million. The Credit Facility was funded on May 20, 2014 in conjunction with the closing of the Wright acquisition, with the $550.0 million term loan being funded as well as a drawdown of $375.0 million on the revolving loan facility. Use of these proceeds were to retire existing term loan debt including the JPM Term Loan Agreement, SunTrust Term Loan Agreement and Bank of America Term Loan Agreement in total of $230.0 million (as described above) and to facilitate the closing of the Wright acquisition as well as other acquisitions. The Credit Facility terminates on May 20, 2019, but either or both of the revolving credit facility and the term loans may be extended for two additional one-year periods at the Company’s request and at the discretion of the respective lenders. Interest and facility fees in respect to the Credit Facility are based on the better of the Company’s net debt leverage ratio or a non-credit enhanced senior unsecured long-term debt rating. Based on the Company’s net debt leverage ratio, the rates of interest for the first two quarters charged on the term loan and revolving loan is 1.375% and 1.175% respectively and above the adjusted LIBOR rate for outstanding amounts drawn. There are fees included in the facility which include a facility fee based on the revolving credit commitments of the lenders (whether used or unused) at a rate of 0.20% and letter of credit fees based on the amounts of outstanding secured or unsecured letters of credit. The Credit Facility includes various covenants, limitations and events of default customary for similar facilities for similarly rated borrowers. As of September 30, 2014, there was an outstanding debt balance issued under the provisions of the Credit Facility in total of $550.0 million with no proceeds outstanding relative to the revolving loan. On September 18, 2014 the Company issued $500.0 million of 4.200% unsecured senior notes due 2024. The senior notes were given investment grade ratings of BBB-/Baa3 with a stable outlook. The notes are subject to certain covenant restrictions and regulations which are customary for credit rated obligations. At the time of funding, the proceeds were offered at a discount of the original note amount which also excluded an underwriting fee discount. The net proceeds received from the issuance were used to repay the outstanding balance of $475.0 million on the revolving Credit Facility and other general corporate purposes. The Notes, the Master Agreement and the Credit Agreement all require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with certain other covenants. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Legal and Regulatory Proceedings | NOTE 9· Legal and Regulatory Proceedings The Company is involved in numerous pending or threatened proceedings by or against Brown & Brown, Inc. or one or more of its subsidiaries that arise in the ordinary course of business. The damages that may be claimed against the Company in these various proceedings are in some cases substantial, including in many instances claims for punitive or extraordinary damages. Some of these claims and lawsuits have been resolved, others are in the process of being resolved and others are still in the investigation or discovery phase. The Company will continue to respond appropriately to these claims and lawsuits and to vigorously protect its interests.
Although the ultimate outcome of such matters cannot be ascertained and liabilities in indeterminate amounts may be imposed on Brown & Brown, Inc. or its subsidiaries, on the basis of present information, availability of insurance and legal advice, it is the opinion of management that the disposition or ultimate determination of such claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position. However, as (i) one or more of the Company’s insurance companies could take the position that portions of these claims are not covered by the Company’s insurance, (ii) to the extent that payments are made to resolve claims and lawsuits, applicable insurance policy limits are eroded, and (iii) the claims and lawsuits relating to these matters are continuing to develop, it is possible that future results of operations or cash flows for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by unfavorable resolutions of these matters. |

Investments | NOTE 11· Investments At September 30, 2014, the Company’s amortized cost and fair values of fixed maturity securities related to our insurance company operations are summarized as follows:
The following table shows the investments’ gross unrealized loss and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2014.
The unrealized losses in the Company’s investments in U.S. Treasury Securities and obligations of U.S. Government Agencies and bonds from corporate issuers were caused by interest rate increases. At September 30, 2014, the Company had 38 securities in an unrealized loss position. The contractual cash flows of the U.S. Treasury Securities and obligations of the U.S. Government agencies investments are either guaranteed by the U.S. Government or an agency of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. The corporate securities are highly rated securities with no indicators of potential impairment. Based on the ability and intent of the Company to hold these investments until recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the bonds were not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2014. The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the fixed maturity securities at September 30, 2014 by contractual maturity are set forth below:
The expected maturities in the foregoing table may differ from the contractual maturities because certain borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalty.
Proceeds from sales of the Company’s investment in fixed maturity securities were $0.2 million including maturities from the period May 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014. There were no gains and losses realized on those sales for the period from May 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014. Realized gains and losses are reported on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, with the cost of securities sold determined on a specific identification basis. |

Reinsurance and Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses | NOTE 12· Reinsurance and Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses The Company reinsures hundred percent of its insurance coverage with reinsurers to limit the amount of loss on individual claims. Although the reinsurers are liable to the Company for amounts reinsured, the Company remains primarily liable to its policyholders for the full amount of the policies written whether or not the reinsurers meet their obligations to the Company when they become due. The effects of reinsurance on premiums written and earned are as follows:
All premiums written by WNFIC under the National Flood Insurance Program are 100% ceded to FEMA, for which the Company receives a 30.7% expense allowance. For the period from May 1, 2014 through September 30, 2014, the Company ceded $315.1 million of written premiums. Effective April 1, 2014, WNFIC is also a party to a quota share agreement whereby it cedes 100% of its gross excess flood premiums which excludes fees to Arch Reinsurance Company and receives a 30.5% commission. WNFIC ceded $0.5 million for the period from May 1 through September 30, 2014. No loss data exists on this agreement. The Company also ceded 100% of the Homeowners and Private Passenger Auto Liability to Stillwater Insurance Company formerly known as Fidelity National Insurance Company. This business is in runoff. Therefore, only loss data still exists on this business. As of September 30, 2014, ceded unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses for Homeowners and Private Passenger Auto Liability was $0.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The incurred but not reported was $0.2 million for Homeowners and $0.2 million for Private Passenger Auto Liability. The reinsurance recoverable balance as of September 30, 2014 was $23.2 million and is comprised of recoverables on unpaid losses and loss expenses. There was no net activity in the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expense during the period May 1, 2014 through September 30, 2014, as the Company’s direct premiums written were hundred percent ceded to three reinsurers. The balance of the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expense, excluding related reinsurance recoverables, as of September 30, 2014 was $23.2 million. |

Shareholders' Equity | NOTE 15· Shareholders’ Equity On July 21, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of its shares of common stock. This is in addition to the $25.0 million that was authorized in the first quarter and executed in the second quarter of 2014. On September 2, 2014, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR”) with an investment bank to repurchase an aggregate $50.0 million of the Company’s common stock. As part of the ASR, the Company received an initial delivery of 1,293,760 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair market value of approximately $42.5 million, which is included in treasury stock in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2014.

The remaining $7.5 million of the aggregate repurchase amount was included in additional paid-in capital in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2014. The total number of shares repurchased under the ASR of 1,539,760 was determined upon settlement on October 8, 2014 and was based on the Company’s volume weighted average price per its common share over the ASR period less a discount. |

Condensed Financial Information of Parent Company Only Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Nature of Operations | Brown & Brown, Inc., a Florida corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Brown & Brown” or the “Company”) is a diversified insurance agency, wholesale brokerage, insurance programs and services organization that markets and sells to its customers insurance products and services, primarily in the property and casualty area. Brown & Brown’s business is divided into four reportable segments: the Retail Division, which provides a broad range of insurance products and services to commercial, public entity, professional and individual customers; the National Programs Division, acting as a managing general agent (“MGA”), provides professional liability and related package products for certain professionals, flood coverage, targeted products and services designated for specific industries, trade groups, governmental entities and market niches all of which are delivered through nationwide networks of independent agents, and markets; the Wholesale Brokerage Division, which markets and sells excess and surplus commercial insurance and reinsurance, primarily through independent agents and brokers; and the Services Division, which provides insurance-related services, including third-party claims administration and comprehensive medical utilization management services in both the workers’ compensation and all-lines liability arenas, as well as Medicare set-aside services, Social Security disability and Medicare benefits advocacy services, and catastrophe claims adjusting services. In addition, as the result of our acquisition of the stock of The Wright Insurance Group, LLC (“Wright”), in May 2014, we own a flood insurance carrier that is a Wright subsidiary. This carrier’s business consists of policies written pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Program (“NFIP”), the program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) and several excess flood insurance policies which are fully reinsured. |
Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expense | Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expense Unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses include amounts determined on individual claims and other estimates based on the past experience of WNFIC and the policyholders for incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims, less anticipated salvage and subrogation recoverable. The methods of making such estimates and for establishing the resulting reserves are continually reviewed and updated, and any adjustments resulting therefrom are reflected in operations currently. WNFIC engages the services of outside actuarial consulting firms (the “Actuaries”) to assist on an annual basis to render an opinion on the sufficiency of the Company’s estimates for unpaid losses and related loss adjustment expenses. The Actuaries utilize both industry experience and the Company’s own experience to develop estimates of those amounts as of year-end. These estimated liabilities are subject to the impact of future changes in claim severity, frequency and other factors. In spite of the variability inherent in such estimates, management believes that the liabilities for unpaid losses and related loss adjustment expenses are adequate. |
Reinsurance | Reinsurance The Company protects itself from claims related losses by reinsuring all claims related risk exposure. The only line of insurance the Company writes is flood insurance associated with the Wright acquisition, with all exposure reinsured with FEMA for basic admitted policies conforming to the National Flood Insurance Program. For excess flood insurance policies, all exposure is reinsured with a reinsurance carrier. Reinsurance does not legally discharge the ceding insurer from the primary liability for the full amount due under the reinsured policies. Reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursement and related reserves related to ceded business are accounted for on a basis consistent with the accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of reinsurance contracts. Premiums earned and losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred are reported net of reinsurance amounts. Other underwriting expenses are shown net of earned ceding commission income. The liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses and unearned premiums are reported gross of ceded reinsurance recoverable. Balances due from reinsurers on unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, including an estimate of such recoverables related to reserves for incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) losses, are reported as assets and are included in reinsurance recoverable even though amounts due on unpaid loss and loss adjustment expense are not recoverable from the reinsurer until such losses are paid. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any material credit risk through its reinsurance as the reinsurer is FEMA for basic admitted flood policies and a national reinsurance carrier for excess flood policies, which is rated A+ from AM Best. Historically, no amounts due from reinsurance carries have been written off as uncollectible. |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance on disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This guidance addresses management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect to early adopt this guidance and it believes the adoption of this guidance will not have material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company beginning November 1, 2017 and, at that time the Company may adopt the new standard under the full retrospective approach or the modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. |
