this section and the guidance provided in Australian Securities and Investments Commission Regulatory Guide 230 'Disclosing non-
IFRS financial information' ('RG 230') has been followed when presenting the management reported results. Non-IFRS financial
information has not been audited by the external auditor, but has been sourced from the financial reports. IAG’s statutory and
management reported profit before income tax from continuing operations are the same.
IAG's results for the current period contain:
(cid:4)
the impact from a release in the provision for business interruption related claims related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Following the appeal judgment in the second business interruption test case handed down on 21 February 2022, which is
currently subject to applications for special leave to appeal to the High Court of Australia, the following factors have been
considered in determining the appropriate level of release from the business interruption provision at 30 June 2022:
– the number and nature of the claims received since the second test case;
– analysis of the scope of the judgment and its application; and
the impact from an increase in the provisions for annual leave and long service leave. As part of the retrospective compliance
review across a number of IAG’s payroll related procedures, during the current financial year, it has been identified that the
provisions recognised for annual leave and long service leave for some employees was not capturing the full extent of
entitlements.
(cid:4)
These provisions are not expected to be a feature of the Group’s future sustainable earnings profile. As a result, and to ensure
consistency of the reporting of key insurance measures and metrics, these items have been shown in the ‘Net corporate expense’
line in the management reported view of the current period’s results. This view is consistent with the approach adopted in IAG’s
Investor Report.

The $12 million (2021: $71 million expense) was recognised within the 'Fee-based, corporate and other expenses' line in the statement of comprehensive income.
The adjustments summarised above reflect the impact on pre-tax earnings for each respective year. Analysis and commentary on
the insurance profit and margin in the operating and financial review section of this report excludes the two reconciling items listed
above.
8 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2022
The gross reduction during the current period in the provision for business interruption related claims was $296 million (2021:
increase of $1,704 million) and after recognition of a $96 million (2021: increase of $554 million) reduction in recoveries from
IAG's whole-of-account quota share arrangements, the full year net pre-tax earnings impact is a gain of $200 million (2021: pre-tax
loss $1,150 million). After tax, the net gain of this provision release to IAG is $140 million (2021: net loss of $805 million).
The gross provision recognised in the current financial year resulting from the payroll compliance review was $16 million (2021:
$71 million) and after recognition of a $4 million (2021: $15 million) recovery from IAG’s whole-of-account quota share
arrangements, the full year net pre-tax earnings impact is $12 million (2021: $51 million). After tax, and outside equity interests,
the net cost of this provision to IAG is $8 million (2021: $32 million).

Reported insurance profit is the insurance profit on a management results basis. Based on the statutory results, the equivalent statutory insurance profit for the current
year is $774 million (FY21: $432 million loss).
Net profit/(loss) after tax is the Group's profit/(loss) after tax for the year after adjusting for non-controlling interests.
Reported insurance margin is the insurance profit as a percentage of NEP, both on a management results basis. Based on the statutory results, the equivalent statutory
insurance margin for the current year is 9.8% (FY21: negative 5.8%).
IAG defines its underlying insurance margin as the reported insurance margin adjusted for net natural perils claims costs less the related allowance, reserve releases or
strengthening and credit spread movements.
The Group's profit after tax for the year was $424 million (FY21: loss after tax of $277 million). After adjusting for non-controlling
interests in the Group result, net profit attributable to the shareholders of the Company was $347 million (FY21: loss after tax of
$427 million). This result included:
(cid:4)
a $421 million decrease in pre-tax insurance profit to $586 million (FY21: pre-tax insurance profit of $1,007 million), driven by
a marginally lower underlying margin, higher net natural perils claims costs, a net strengthening of prior year reserves and a
negative impact from the increasing credit spreads;
a $200 million pre-tax release from the provision for business interruption claims associated with COVID-19 in the current year
recorded under net corporate expense, compared to a pre-tax net corporate expense of $1,510 million recorded in the prior
financial year; and
a $411 million pre-tax reduction in net investment income on shareholders’ funds to a $105 million loss (FY21: pre-tax income
of $306 million).
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
Reported GWP of $13,317 million increased by 5.7% over the prior financial year (FY21: $12,602 million). Growth was
predominantly driven by higher premium rates, with around 1% volume growth, across personal short-tail classes in Direct
Insurance Australia (DIA), premium rate increases that averaged 9% over the current financial year in Intermediated Insurance
Australia (IIA), and by premium rate increases, combined with relatively stable retention and new business levels, in New Zealand.
IAG’s FY22 underlying insurance margin of 14.6% (FY21: 14.7%) was impacted by positive benefits from COVID-19 impacts on
motor claims frequency, of broadly a similar amount to the prior financial year, and a negative timing impact from increasing risk-
free interest rates.
The reported insurance profit of $586 million was lower than the prior financial year (FY21: $1,007 million) and equates to a
reported insurance margin of 7.4% (FY21: 13.5%). In addition to the underlying margin influences outlined above, the current year
reported insurance profit included an unfavourable net natural perils experience of $354 million, a net strengthening of prior year
reserves of $172 million and a negative impact from the increasing credit spreads of $45 million.

Premiums
Reported FY22 GWP of $13,317 million (FY21: $12,602 million) increased by 5.7% over FY21. This encompassed:
(cid:4)
growth of 4.6% to $6,036 million was achieved in DIA and comprised:
– increased GWP momentum in 2H22 with growth of 5.8%, building on 3.3% growth in 1H22. Growth was primarily rate
driven with approximately 1% volume growth in personal short-tail classes.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
growth of 6.0% to $4,289 million was achieved in IIA and comprised:
– rate increases across IIA’s portfolios averaged 9% during FY22 driven by deliberate portfolio management; and
– the planned exit of the $140 million IAL personal lines business had a 3.5% impact on GWP growth.
growth of 7.7% in New Zealand to $2,991 million, up 7.0% in local currency terms:
– both Business and Direct delivered strong growth, 11% and 4.7% respectively in local currency. This was driven
predominantly by premium rate increases with relatively stable retention and new business levels.
Insurance margin
The underlying insurance margin is the reported insurance margin adjusted for prior year reserve releases or strengthening, natural
perils claim costs above or below related allowances and credit spread gains or losses.

Reported insurance profit is the insurance profit on a management results basis. Based on the statutory results, the equivalent statutory insurance profit for the current
year is $774 million (FY21: $432 million loss).
Reported insurance margin is the insurance profit as a percentage of NEP, both on a management results basis. Based on the statutory results, the equivalent statutory
insurance margin for the current year is 9.8% (FY21: negative 5.8%).
IAG’s FY22 underlying insurance margin was 14.6%, marginally lower than the 14.7% in FY21 due to a discount rate timing impact.
Features of the net movement in FY22 compared to FY21 were:
(cid:4)
a full year net benefit of approximately $60 million from COVID-19 effects experienced in 1H22, compared to $60 million to
$70 million in 1H21; and
the full year impact from higher risk-free discount rates that resulted in investment market losses which was not fully matched
as a result of the undiscounted component of liabilities was $42 million.
(cid:4)
Excluding the impact of these two items, the FY22 underlying margin was 14.4% (FY21: 13.8%).
IAG’s 2H22 underlying insurance margin was 14.1%, lower than 15.1% in 1H22. Key influences on 2H22 compared to 1H22
included:
(cid:4)
COVID-19 provided an approximately $60 million benefit in 1H22 with no impact in 2H22; and
a discount rate timing impact of $14 million in 1H22 and $28 million in 2H22 which reflects the impact of higher risk-free
rates on technical reserve assets which are not matched by discounted liabilities.
(cid:4)
Adjusting for these two items, the 2H22 underlying margin of 14.8% exceeds the 1H22 margin of 14.0%, primarily driven by higher
underlying investment returns and lower expense ratios.
The reported insurance profit of $586 million in FY22 was lower than the prior financial year (FY21: $1,007 million) and equates to
a reported margin of 7.4% (FY21: 13.5%). In addition to the underlying margin influences outlined above, this included:
(cid:4)
unfavourable net natural perils of $354 million in FY22 (FY21: $84 million);
a $172 million impact from strengthening of prior year reserves (FY21 $81 million); and
a negative impact from widening of credit spreads of $45 million (FY21: positive $77 million).

Insurance margin is on a management results basis. Based on the statutory results, the equivalent statutory insurance margin for the current year is 12.5% (2021: 19.1%) for
DIA, 4.1% (2021: negative 59.4%) for IIA and 12.8% (2021: 18.9%) for New Zealand.
Detailed commentary on the insurance margin performance is provided in the divisional sections of the Investor Report. A short
summary is provided below.
(cid:4)
DIA’s underlying margin of 20.5% in FY22 was marginally lower than the prior year (FY21: 21.4%):
– DIA’s reported insurance margin of 13.0% in FY22 was impacted by the significantly higher natural perils and negative
investment market impacts.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
IIA reported an insurance loss of $103 million in FY22 (FY21: $10 million loss). The reported insurance margin reduced to
negative 4.0% due to:
– reserve strengthening of $151 million;
– negative impact of credit spreads of $22 million; and
– natural perils being $60 million above allowance.
New Zealand’s reported insurance margin of 12.8% in FY22, which was significantly lower than the 19% in FY21 due to:
– a $79 million increase in natural peril costs; offset by
– a $34 million reduction in reserve releases.
Reinsurance expense
The total reinsurance expense includes the cost of all covers purchased, including catastrophe, casualty, facultative and
proportional protection.
The FY22 reinsurance expense of $5,063 million compares to $4,872 million in FY21, an increase of approximately 3.9%.
REINSURANCE EXPENSE
Quota share-related reinsurance expense increased 4.5%, slightly lower than the increase in gross earned premium due to the
lower growth in CTP. Non-quota share reinsurance expenses were relatively flat (FY22: $659 million, FY21: $657 million).
Claims
IAG’s immunised underlying loss ratio, which reflects trends in underlying or working claims, was 53.3% in FY22 broadly similar to
53.7% in FY21. This ratio excludes all prior year reserve releases or strengthening, natural perils costs and discount rate
adjustments.

Immunised underlying net claims expense and loss ratio adjust the reported equivalent to exclude all prior year reserve releases or strengthening, natural perils costs
and discount rate adjustments.
Reported net claims expense is the net claims expense on a management results basis. Based on the statutory results, the equivalent statutory net claims expense for
the current year is $5,015 million (2021: $5,957 million).
Reported loss ratio is net claims expense as a percentage of net earned premium. Based on the statutory results, the equivalent statutory loss ratio for the current year
is 63.4% (2021: 80.3%).
Underlying claims trends
At a Group level, net COVID-19 claims benefits were approximately $80 million in FY22 and $75 million in FY21, driven largely by
lower motor claims frequency. Excluding the net COVID-19 impact, the underlying loss ratio fell from 54.7% to 54.3% during FY22.
This was a function of offsetting positive and negative factors.
(cid:4)
on the positive side, the ratio benefited from:
– the earned impact of higher premium rates;
– lower frequency in home and motor claims;
– an improvement in IIA claims experience in most portfolios including WFI Rural, professional risk and workers
compensation, reflecting continued remediation and active portfolio management.
(cid:4)
these improvements were offset by:
– a deterioration in commercial liability reflecting elevated average claim size;
– an increase in motor claims costs of mid-to-high single digits resulting from the inflationary impact of supply chain
constraints and increased total losses, partly offset by increased utilisation of IAG’s motor repair model;
– an increase in home claims costs driven by substantial increase in materials and labour costs offset by operational
improvements; and
– an increase in New Zealand commercial property large loss claims.
The increase in the underlying loss ratio from 52.0% in 1H22 to 54.5% in 2H22 is largely due to COVID-19 claims benefits in 1H22.
Reserve releases/strengthening
Prior period reserve strengthening of $172 million occurred in FY22 (FY21: $81 million). This outcome reflected late reported
medium to large claims, notably worker injury claims in the 2017 and 2018 accident years and a higher level of claims inflation in
the commercial liability portfolio. Around $45 million of the commercial liability $168 million strengthening relates to silicosis
exposures. The recent adverse experience from the 2017 and 2018 accident years has been assumed to continue into later
accident years.
IAG has taken significant steps to refine its pricing and underwriting decisions to mitigate future impacts for a range of issues
including silicosis and worker injury.
Other classes’ claims experience has been broadly in line with expectations with modest releases in the second half of FY22.
Natural perils
Net natural perils claim costs in FY22 were $1,119 million, well above the original allowance of $765 million and broadly consistent
with the $1.1 billion forecast following the March flooding events. (FY21: $742 million, $84 million above allowance).

The 1H22 result included net natural peril costs of $681 million, which was $299 million above allowance reflecting major weather
events across Australia and New Zealand. During the second half of the year, further storms and flooding resulted in net natural
peril costs of $438 million.
The net cost of the February 2022 Queensland/NSW flooding event ($73 million) and the March 2022 East Coast Low ($34 million)
were reduced by the financial protection provided by the Group’s main catastrophe and aggregate reinsurance covers.
Expenses
Gross operating costs (excluding commissions, pre-quota share) were $2,531 million in FY22, consistent with the Group’s target of
holding costs at the $2.5 billion level (FY21: $2,503 million).

The “Expenses” table later in this section illustrates how “Gross underwriting expense ex-levies” reconciles to “Net underwriting expense” on the “Consolidated
Statement Of Comprehensive Income” on page 56 of this report.
The 1.1% increase in FY22 was a function of:
(cid:4)
increased technology and system spending across IAG’s Enterprise Platform as part of an ongoing investment program to
transform IAG’s capacity to meet the needs of customers and drive operational excellence. This includes investments in
automation and artificial intelligence to unlock efficiencies central to reducing expenses;
some additional COVID-19 related expenses of approximately $30 million (pre-quota share) largely due to increased annual
leave provisions and other costs associated with disruption from lockdowns in 1H22; partly offset by
a reduction in fee-based expenses due to the cessation of IAG’s role as an agent under the Victorian workers’ compensation
scheme.

Total net expenses are presented on a management results basis. Based on the statutory results, the equivalent statutory total net expense for the current year is
$1,882 million (FY21: $2,034 million).
A focus on operational efficiency resulted in the expense ratio falling to 23.7% from 24.1% in FY21. This comprised:
(cid:4)
the administration ratio reducing slightly to 14.9% (FY21: 15.0%); and
the commission ratio reducing to 8.8% (FY21: 9.1%).
(cid:4)
Net investment income/loss on assets backing insurance liabilities
Net investment loss on assets backing insurance liabilities (technical reserve assets) for FY22 was $238 million (FY21: income
$139 million). This outcome includes:
(cid:4)
a material increase in risk-free rates during FY22. This caused mark-to-market losses of around $331 million on technical
reserve assets, with $289 million of this offset by a positive impact on discounted claims liabilities.
an increase in the underlying yield from the portfolio to 1.8% in FY22 (1H22: 1.1%, 2H22: 2.4%); and
a negative impact of $45 million from the widening of credit spreads (FY21: positive $77 million).
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
The portfolio is aligned with the average weighted duration of IAG’s claims liability of around two years.
COVID-19 impacts on FY22 performance
The predominant impact from the COVID-19 pandemic occurred in 1H22 where it is estimated to have had a modestly negative
effect on IAG’s GWP and a net positive impact on its insurance profit. No material overall impact was experienced in 2H22. The
key impacts included:
(cid:4)
an estimated GWP reduction of $40 million compared to FY21 predominantly from lower new business opportunities in
Australian personal lines during the lockdowns in New South Wales and Victoria and reduced travel insurance premiums.
Business retention has held at high levels in most core portfolios. COVID-19 had a negligible impact on New Zealand GWP
during the year; and
an estimated net positive impact on the FY22 underlying insurance profit of approximately $60 million post-quota share (FY21:
$60 million to $70 million) from lower motor claims frequency offset by some inflation pressures on motor and home claims
costs and elevated additional expenses. A net impact of $60 million represents an approximately 0.7% benefit to the
insurance margin (FY21: approximately 0.9%). All underwriting profit impacts are expressed on a post-quota share basis.
(cid:4)
Additional matters
Provision for potential business interruption claims
The total pre-tax provision for net outstanding claims in relation to potential business interruption exposure within IAG’s Australian
business was $975 million at 30 June 2022 (30 June 2021: $1,236 million). The reduction since 30 June 2021 includes a $200
million pre-tax release in the net corporate expense line in the current financial year and a reduction of $61 million based on yield
curve movements included in the claims line (and offset by an equivalent investment income mark-to-market loss).
Extensive scenario testing of the adequacy of the provision has been undertaken during FY22. A substantial part of the provision
continues to include a risk margin reflecting the uncertainty of the potential legal outcomes and subsequent claims that may arise.
On 18 November 2020, the Supreme Court of New South Wales Court of Appeal (NSWCA) delivered its judgment on the first
business interruption insurance test case, which determined pandemic exclusions that refer to the Quarantine Act and subsequent
amendments only, rather than the Biosecurity Act, are not effective to exclude cover for losses associated with COVID-19. On 25
June 2021, the High Court of Australia (HCA) dismissed the insurers' application for special leave to appeal the decision of the
NSWCA.
During the current financial year, a number of developments have emerged. IAG’s exposure in respect of policy exclusions which
reference the Quarantine Act without specific reference to the Biosecurity Act is limited to historical policies only as all new and
renewing policies now include the Biosecurity Act or a broader exclusion.
Even while the first business interruption insurance test case, noted above, was in progress, preparations were underway for a
second business interruption insurance test case. The second business interruption insurance test case was heard by the Federal
Court of Australia in September 2021. On 8 October 2021, the Federal Court of Australia delivered its judgment in the second test
case and found in favour of insurers on a significant number of policy wording questions and for policyholders on other questions.
14 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2022
In November 2021, the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia heard appeals in 5 of the 10 cases in the second test case
(including the 2 IAG cases) and the Full Court delivered its appeal judgment on 21 February 2022. The judgment was mostly
favourable to insurers and upheld many aspects of the Federal Court of Australia’s original decision. The judgment did reverse two
elements of the judgment in one of the IAG cases relating to the treatment of Jobkeeper payments and the calculation of interest.
Special leave applications have been filed in the HCA in 3 of the 5 test cases that were appealed to the Full Court of the Federal
Court of Australia (including the 2 IAG cases). The HCA has now informed the parties that it will conduct an oral hearing to
determine the special leave applications in each of these proceedings and that the oral hearing will not be listed before October
2022 (although the precise date is yet to be confirmed).
IAG is defending a representative class action that has been filed in the Federal Court of Australia relating to policyholders with
business interruption policies. The representative class action has been adjourned pending conclusion of the test cases.
On 1 August 2022, IAG was notified of a shareholder representative proceeding filed in the Supreme Court of Victoria on behalf of
persons who acquired shares in IAG during the period 11 March 2020 and 20 November 2020 (inclusive), in relation to IAG’s
disclosure of the potential impact of COVID-19 related business interruption claims. IAG intends to defend the proceeding.
BCC Trade Credit and Greensill
As previously advised, IAG maintains that, through the protections it has put in place, it has no net insurance exposure to trade
credit policies sold through BCC Trade Credit Pty Ltd (BCC).
The complex issues around trade credit claims continue to be managed and defended by Insurance Australia Limited (IAL),
including the litigation arising out of the purported underwriting of Greensill policies by BCC. Claims and litigation by the
administrators of Greensill or other claimants seeking confirmation of policy coverage and/or validity of claims was and is
anticipated and IAG will defend these litigated claims. During the current financial year, four separate proceedings relating to
claims in respect of policies relating to Greensill entities were commenced against IAL in the Federal Court of Australia. The
commencement of litigated claims was an expected risk and IAG anticipates that it will take a number of years to bring these
matters to resolution.
BCC is an underwriting agency that was authorised to underwrite trade credit insurance on IAG’s behalf, in accordance with specific
underwriting guidelines, through IAL, one of IAG’s two licensed insurance subsidiaries in Australia. Trade credit insurance is
designed to protect insured businesses who provide credit terms to their customers. The policies are designed to indemnify for
losses arising from a failure to pay genuine debts owed by customers by covering an agreed percentage of defaults on the payment
of the business’ accounts receivable.
IAL’s 50% interest in BCC was sold to Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co. Ltd (Tokio Marine) with effect from 9 April 2019.
As part of the transaction arrangements put in place to ensure IAG had no net insurance exposure to trade credit policies, BCC
continued to underwrite risks on behalf of IAL to 30 June 2019 with Tokio Marine retaining the ultimate liability for these polices,
and earlier written policies, net of reinsurance. In addition to reinsurance in place in respect of these policies, IAG entered into
agreements with Tokio Marine for it to hold any remaining exposure to trade credit insurance written by BCC on behalf of IAL before
30 June 2019 and is the licensee responsible for BCC’s conduct from 1 July 2019.
IAL ceased underwriting trade credit on 30 June 2019. The IAL trade credit portfolio is in run-off with IAL managing existing and
future claims. The existing claims include both claims relating to Greensill entities and claims related to the remainder of the BCC
trade credit portfolio. IAG has revised the outstanding claims liability to $477 million at 30 June 2022 (2021: $437 million) mainly
due to recognition of claims handling expenses, with the majority relating to expected legal costs associated with claims notified,
along with an assessment of existing claims following the receipt of additional claim information and an assessment of a number of
new claims lodged during the year relating to the BCC portfolio. This has been determined in accordance with IAG's usual claims
reserving practices, which takes into account an assessment of the validity of claims. IAG has also recognised $477 million (2021:
$437 million) of related reinsurance recoveries and indemnities in respect of trade credit related claims although a reinsurer may
challenge its obligations with respect to any claim exposures.
Other profit and loss drivers
Net corporate expense
Net corporate expense in FY22 comprised the pre-tax gain of $200 million, from the release of the Business Interruption provision
(FY21: pre-tax loss $1,510 million).
There were a number of other smaller provision movements across previously recognised Asian business sale, payroll compliance
and customer refund which netted off to a neutral impact.
115
Fee-based business
Fee-based business contributed a loss of $34 million in FY22 (FY21: $29 million loss). This period’s result comprised:
(cid:4)
a $3 million profit (FY21: $7 million profit) from IAG’s role as agent under the Victorian workers’ compensation scheme;
a loss of approximately $6 million from Motorserve’s car servicing activities, which were acquired during FY20 (FY21: $5
million loss); and
an approximately $31 million loss (FY21: $30 million loss) reflecting investment in new businesses aligned with IAG’s strategy
and focusing on advanced technologies, data asset capabilities, innovation and mobility initiatives, including:
– net costs of $12 million from the Ambiata specialist data activation business and the innovation hubs run by Firemark
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
Labs in Singapore;
– $11 million from the ongoing development of the Carbar digital car-trading platform business;
– $4 million for the Customer Loyalty Platform, which is leveraging data and analytics to unify brands, products and services,
and deliver better customer experiences with rewards for risk mitigating behaviours and loyalty; and
– $1 million for costs associated with the Safer Journeys crash detection and response service.
Asian interests
IAG announced on 19 July 2021 that AmGeneral Holdings Berhad, the Malaysian business in which it held a 49% interest, had
signed an Implementation Agreement for the proposed sale of its wholly-owned insurance business AmGeneral Insurance Berhad
(AmGeneral) to Liberty Insurance Berhad and expected to incur a loss. This investment was classified as ‘Held for Sale’ and an
impairment of approximately $90 million was recognised in FY21.
Regulatory approval was received on 28 June 2022 with final completion following Malaysian High Court approval of the capital
reduction and distribution to IAG of its share of the sale proceeds in July 2022.
IAG’s remaining Asian investment is a 13.93% interest in Bohai Property Insurance Company Ltd (Bohai) in China, included in the
shareholders’ funds investments.
The combined contribution from associates was a profit of $17 million (FY21: $35 million), largely derived from AmGeneral.
Net investment income on shareholders' funds
Net investment income on shareholders’ funds was a loss of $105 million (FY21: $306 million gain). This included:
(cid:4) mark-to-market impacts in fixed interest portfolios from increased rates and credit spreads resulting in a negative return of
$68 million;
a negative return of $23 million from Australian and International equities although IAG outperformed the relevant indexes;
a small loss of $7 million from the alternative asset classes, primarily from global convertible bonds; and
an $11 million negative fair value adjustment in the Firemark Ventures portfolio.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
At 30 June 2022, the weighting to defensive assets (fixed interest and cash) within shareholders’ funds was approximately 68%,
compared to approximately 70% at the end of FY21.
Tax expense
IAG reported tax expense of $140 million in FY22 (FY21: $125 million credit), reflecting an effective tax rate of approximately 25%
on pre-tax earnings.
Contributory elements reconciling the FY22 effective tax rate to the Australian corporate rate of 30% were:
(cid:4)
differences in tax rates applicable to IAG’s foreign operations, principally in New Zealand and Singapore;
completion of the sale process of the Malaysian business; and
franking credits generated from IAG’s investment portfolio.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
Non-controlling interests
Profit after tax attributable to non-controlling interests was $77 million (FY21: $150 million).
Non-controlling interests are principally represented by RACV’s 30% interest in Insurance Manufacturers of Australia Pty Limited
(IMA), whose short-tail business lines in NSW, Victoria and the ACT form part of DIA. IMA posted a much lower profit in FY22 owing
to the high level of natural peril events in NSW during the year.
Acquired intangible amortisation and impairment
The current year acquired intangible amortisation and impairment of $7 million (FY21: $111 million), was significantly lower than
$111 million in FY21 which included an impairment of $89 million recognition on the sale of AmGeneral and write-down of
intangibles associated with IAG’s exit from the Victorian Workers Compensation Scheme (approximately $15 million).
Net profit/(loss) after tax
A net profit after tax and outside equity interests of $347 million (FY21: net loss $427 million) reflected the aforementioned items.
116 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2022
REVIEW OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
A. FINANCIAL POSITION
The total assets of the Group as at 30 June 2022 were $34,083 million compared to $33,449 million as at 30 June 2021.
Movements within the overall net increase of $634 million include:
(cid:4)
an increase of $614 million in reinsurance and other recoveries on outstanding claims primarily associated with the increase
in natural perils claim costs during the financial year, partially offset by the effect of the upward movement in the yield curve,
particularly on long-tail reserves;
an increase of $233 million in deferred insurance expenses associated with the whole-of-account quota share arrangements
driven by GWP growth, particularly in the second half of the financial year, and from the 2023 financial year catastrophe
reinsurance cover renewals;
an increase of $226 million in trade and other receivables predominantly relating to increase in premiums receivable reflecting
growth in GWP across Australia and New Zealand; and
an increase of $191 million in goodwill and intangible assets mainly from capitalisation of costs associated with the
development and implementation of various systems; partially offset by
a decrease in investments of $604 million associated with negative returns delivered from the investment portfolio and funds
outflow for the payments of the 2021 final dividend, the 2022 interim dividend and the costs associated with the development
and implementation of various systems, partially offset by the operating earnings for the year.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
The total liabilities of the Group as at 30 June 2022 were $27,583 million compared to $26,893 million as at 30 June 2021.
Movements within the overall net increase of $690 million include:
(cid:4)
a $652 million increase in outstanding claims liability primarily representing the combined impact of higher reserves for
natural perils events, increased short-tail attritional reserves mainly due to claim experience slowly returning to a pre-
pandemic level, strengthening across commercial long-tail reserves, partially offset by the release in business interruption
provision and reduction in reserves associated with yield curve impacts; and
a $304 million increase in unearned premium liabilities, reflecting the GWP growth, particularly in the latter half of the
financial year; partially offset by
a $195 million decrease in provisions mainly due to the continued settlements made associated with customer refunds and
payroll compliance matters, and a reduction across other employee benefits provisions; and
a $111 million decrease in current tax liability mainly attributable to the final tax settlement for Insurance Manufacturers of
Australia Pty Limited (a 70% owned subsidiary of the Company) and the Australian consolidated tax group in respect of the
2021 assessment year.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
IAG shareholders’ equity (excluding non-controlling interests) decreased from $6,246 million as at 30 June 2021 to $6,163 million
as at 30 June 2022, reflecting the combined impact of:
(cid:4)
current year net profit attributable to shareholders of $347 million; and
$468 million payments in respect of the 2021 final dividend and 2022 interim dividend.
(cid:4)
B. CASH FROM OPERATIONS
The net cash inflows from operating activities for the year ended 30 June 2022 were $899 million compared to net cash inflows of
$1,610 million for the prior year. The movement is mainly attributable to the net effect of:
(cid:4)
a $407 million increase in claims costs paid largely attributable to the increase in natural peril events compared with the prior
year and higher attritional claim payments as claim experience slowly return to a pre-pandemic level;
a $337 million decrease in reinsurance and other recoveries received primarily due to the significant recoveries that were
received in the prior year relating to natural peril events that occurred in the 2020 financial year;
a $301 million increase in income tax paid predominantly due to the absence of the refund from the ATO in respect of the
2020 assessment year received in the prior year, the franking deficit tax paid by the Australian tax consolidated group in the
current year and the higher final income tax paid by Insurance Manufacturers of Australia Pty Limited in the current year in
respect of the 2021 assessment year;
a $267 million increase in other operating payments, driven by the payment of employee short-term incentives in the current
year, and settlement of provisions associated with customer refunds and payroll compliance matters; and
a $214 million increase in outwards reinsurance premium expense paid primarily driven by the increased amount ceded to
whole-of-account quota share partners in line with GWP growth, partially offset by
a $638 million increase in premiums received, largely reflecting the year-on-year premium growth; and
$146 million increase in other operating receipts mainly attributable to higher reinsurance commission receipts on whole-of-
account quota share arrangements.

(cid:4)
C. INVESTMENTS
The Group’s investments totalled $11,813 million as at 30 June 2022 compared to $12,417 million at 30 June 2021. The
reduction reflecting the combined effect of:
(cid:4)
the increase in discount rates and risk-free rates that reduce both balance sheet asset and liabilities;
lower equity returns impacting shareholder funds; and
operational and earnings changes in the period.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
IAG’s overall investment allocation is defensively positioned, with nearly 90% of total investments in fixed interest and cash as at
30 June 2022. IAG applies distinct investment strategies to its two pools of investment assets:
(cid:4)
technical reserves, which back insurance liabilities, are wholly invested in fixed interest and cash; and
a more diversified approach is taken to shareholders’ funds, comprising a mix of fixed interest and cash and growth assets
(equities and alternatives).
(cid:4)
117
IAG’s allocation to growth assets (equities and alternatives) was around 32% of shareholders’ funds at 30 June 2022,
approximately 2% higher than the level at 30 June 2021.
D. INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES
IAG’s interest bearing liabilities stood at $2,055 million at 30 June 2022, compared to $1,987 million at 30 June 2021, with the
small increase in the year reflecting the issue of NZ$400 million of subordinated debt and the redemption of NZ$350 million of
subordinated debt.
E. CAPITAL MIX
Currently IAG measures its capital mix on a net tangible equity basis, i.e. after deduction of goodwill and intangibles.
IAG’s debt to total tangible capitalisation ratio at 30 June 2022 was 39.9% towards the top of the previous 30-40% range. Going
forward, IAG will no longer target a specific debt to total tangible capital ratio. As IAG’s borrowings are substantially in the form of
Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 regulatory capital securities, IAG’s capital mix is defined by regulatory capital targets which will remain
the focus. Subject to market conditions, during FY23 IAG may consider a new issue of Capital Notes intended to qualify as
Additional Tier 1 regulatory capital. IAG’s intent remains to manage regulatory capital to its 1.6 to 1.8 times PCA benchmark over
the longer term.
F. CAPITAL POSITION
Under the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority’s (APRA) Prudential Standards, IAG's Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital was
$2,364 million (2021: $2,635 million) and regulatory capital of $4,380 million (2021: $4,615 million) at 30 June 2022. IAG has
set the following related targeted benchmarks:
(cid:4)
a CET1 target range of 0.9 to 1.1 times the Prescribed Capital Amount (PCA), compared to a regulatory requirement of a
minimum of 0.6 times; and
a total capital position equivalent to 1.6 to 1.8 times the PCA, compared to a regulatory requirement of a minimum of 1.0
times.
(cid:4)
At 30 June 2022, IAG had a CET1 multiple of 0.97 (2021: 1.06) and a PCA multiple of 1.80 (2021: 1.86).
Further capital management details are set out in Note 3.1 within the financial statements.
STRATEGY AND RISK MANAGEMENT
A. STRATEGY
Helping customers manage risk has been IAG's business for over 160 years, forming the heart of IAG's purpose, to make your world
a safer place.
During FY22, IAG’s purpose has never been more relevant. IAG has managed through the COVID-19 disruption to local markets and
global supply chains and responded to almost 150,000 natural peril claims as our customers have been impacted by multiple
weather events across Australia and New Zealand. In responding to these challenges, IAG has remained purpose-led, customer
focused and commercially disciplined.
IAG's trusted brands, established supply chain, deep data assets and financial strength are key attributes, providing competitive
advantage.
IAG's long-term objective remains: the delivery of top quartile Total Shareholder Return, with a sustainable growth profile. To realise
this, IAG has reset its strategy to ‘create a stronger, more resilient IAG’. IAG is driving focus, adapting its business model and
playing to its strengths to capitalise on trends shaping the operating environment.
Four strategic pillars provide focus, inform IAG's operating model and underpin IAG's three to five year strategy:
Grow with our customers
(cid:4)
IAG will grow as Australians and New Zealanders grow by delivering outstanding personalised service when customers need it
most;
IAG will focus the strength of its brands to meet the evolving needs of consumers and enable the next wave of growth in small
businesses across Australia and New Zealand; and
IAG will increase its customer reach to make the world safer for more Australians and New Zealanders.
Build better businesses
(cid:4)
IAG will help Australian and New Zealand businesses by continuing to focus on underwriting expertise, active portfolio
management and pricing excellence; and
IAG will evolve by investing in its core competencies, delivering consistent high-quality returns to shareholders and enhancing
its competitive advantage.
Create value through digital
(cid:4)
IAG will be digital to the core by creating connected customer experiences that seamlessly assist and reward customers as
they unlock the value of IAG's network; and
IAG will transform customer experience while modernising core platforms and using intelligent automation to capture value.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
118 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Manage our risks
(cid:4)
IAG will manage the risks in its own business so that it can continue to manage the risks in its customers' lives, by building a
strong, active risk culture and meeting its obligations to the communities it serves;
IAG will invest in process, capability, infrastructure and operational excellence to create a stable, scalable and efficient
business; and
IAG will continue to have a strong capital platform, ensuring its customers are appropriately supported by its financial strength.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
IAG's strategy balances strengthening the fundamentals of insurance while evolving to be a digital leader. It will ensure IAG is a
stronger, more resilient organisation with increased customer reach.
119
B. BUSINESS RISK AND RISK MANAGEMENT
IAG acknowledges that it has to take risk in an informed manner in pursuit of its strategic objectives and to meet expectations of its
stakeholders, including customers, industry and regulators. IAG clearly articulates the levels, boundaries and nature of risk it is
willing to accept, actively manage or avoid in pursuit of the Group’s strategic objectives.
IAG uses an enterprise-wide approach to risk management and its Risk Management Framework (RMF) is a core part of the
governance structure, which includes internal policies, key management processes and culture. The Group Risk Management
Strategy (RMS) articulates the strategy to manage risks at IAG and describes the key elements of the RMF to implement this
strategy. The RMS is reviewed annually, or more frequently as required, by the Risk Committee before being recommended for
approval by the Board. IAG’s Group Risk function provides regular reports to the Risk Committee on the operation of, and any
changes to, IAG’s RMF, the status of material risks, the control environment, risk and compliance events and issues, risk trends
and IAG's risk profile. IAG’s Group Internal Audit function provides reports to the Audit Committee on significant audit findings and
other audit related matters.
Roles and responsibilities of the Board and its standing committees, the Risk Committee, the Audit Committee, the People and
Remuneration Committee and the Nomination Committee, are set out in the Corporate Governance section of the IAG website.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
IAG is exposed to multiple risks relating to its businesses and pursuit of its strategic objectives. The risks noted below are not
exhaustive, but outline the material risks faced by the Group as identified in the RMS:
(cid:4)
strategic risk – risk that internal or external factors disrupt the assumptions underpinning IAG's strategy or compromise its
ability to set and execute an appropriate strategy. This includes environment and social governance risk which encompasses
climate risk considerations;
organisational conduct and customer risk – risk of behaviour or action taken by entities and employees associated with IAG
that may have negative outcomes for IAG's customers, staff, communities, and markets in which IAG operates. It includes the
risk that products are designed, priced, distributed and managed in a way that does not meet the reasonable needs and
objectives of customers;
insurance risk – risk of unintended financial loss as a result of:
– inadequate or inappropriate underwriting;
– inadequate or inappropriate product design and pricing;
– unforeseen, unknown or unintended liabilities that may eventuate;
– inadequate or inappropriate claims management including reserving; and
– insurance concentration risk (i.e. by locality, segment factor, or distribution);
reinsurance risk – risk of financial loss as a result of:
– lack of capacity in the reinsurance market;
– insufficient or inappropriate reinsurance coverage;
– inadequate underwriting and/or pricing of reinsurance exposures retained by IAG’s reinsurance captives;
– inadequate or inappropriate reinsurance recovery management;
– reinsurance arrangements not legally binding; and
– reinsurance concentration risk;
(cid:4) market risk – risk of adverse movements in market prices (equities, derivatives, interest rates, foreign exchange, etc) or
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
inappropriate concentration within the investment funds;
credit risk – risk arising from a counterparty’s failure to meet its obligations in accordance with the agreed terms. This
includes investment and derivative counterparties, reinsurers and premium debtors;
liquidity risk – risk of inadequate funds and/or illiquid asset portfolios to meet liabilities as they fall due;
capital risk – risk that capital is:
– insufficient or excessive given the nature, strategies and objectives of the Group; or
– comprised of a mix of equity, debt, reinsurance, including IAG’s 32.5% whole-of-account quota share arrangements, or
other expiring sources of capital that is unsuitable or unsustainable due to its cost, structure, flexibility, or IAG's ability to
renew or replace on acceptable terms;
operational risk – the failure to achieve objectives due to inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from
external events; and
regulatory and compliance risk – risk of legal or regulatory impacts or reputational loss arising from failure to manage
compliance obligations or failure to anticipate and prepare for changes in the regulatory environment.
In addition to the above risks, as the global economy recovers from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, IAG is experiencing the
effects of increasing interest rates and the emergence of higher inflation. This is expected to impact claims and operating costs,
investment returns and premiums charged to customers, and is being monitored closely.
IAG aims to have a disciplined approach to risk management and believes this approach provides the greatest long-term likelihood
of being able to meet the objectives of all stakeholders.
Detail of IAG's overall RMF, which is outlined in the RMS, is set out in Note 3.1 within the financial statements and in the Corporate
Governance Statement, which is available at www.iag.com.au/about-us/corporate-governance.
220 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2022
C. CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE RISK
As Australia and New Zealand’s largest general insurer, IAG’s core business and value chain are exposed to a broad range of
interconnected environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks. IAG insures individuals, households, and businesses against
the impacts that climate-related hazards can have on their assets, playing a critical role in the economy to help build stronger,
more resilient communities. To ensure IAG can continue to act in this role and deliver for its customers, climate change and ESG
risk management are deeply embedded in IAG’s strategy.
The structure and content of the following summary disclosure (under the subheadings of Governance, Strategy, Risk management,
Metrics and targets) is aligned to the guidance of Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and considers the
International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) exposure drafts for General Sustainability and Climate.
A detailed review of IAG’s progress in managing climate-related risks and opportunities can be found in the Climate-related
disclosure. Further details on IAG’s broader Sustainability initiatives can be found in the FY22 Annual Review and Sustainability
Report. Both reports are available at www.iag.com.au/safer-communities.

partners like the State Emergency Services in New South Wales and South Australia to improve community preparedness for
floods, storms, and other climate-related hazards. IAG also prioritises broader ESG considerations impacting our business,
including a focus on diversity, inclusion and belonging through activities targeted at increasing women in senior leadership and
increasing Aboriginal and Torres Strait employment, as well as protecting the safety and wellbeing of employees by reducing lost-
time injury frequency rates.

Integrating climate change and ESG into IAG’s strategy
Climate impacts for IAG
IAG understands that physical impacts in Australia present the most material short, medium, and long-term climate risk to IAG’s
business. Under future climate scenarios, the increasing severity and frequency of natural perils could lead to higher pricing and
insurance premiums for property assets, which may drive increased affordability issues. There is potential for material financial
impact from climate change in the long-term without further action by governments, businesses, and communities. While IAG
acknowledges climate and financial risk modelling is inherently uncertain, the assessments across various climate scenarios can
help inform where disaster risk reduction and resilience should be prioritised to ensure the safety of communities and ongoing
viability of insurance in high-risk areas.
IAG continues to evolve its work to develop deeper analysis of physical and transition impacts for both Australia and New Zealand.
Further details of IAG’s scenario modelling are included in the Climate-related disclosure.
Climate & Disaster Resilience Action Plan
IAG’s Climate & Disaster Resilience Action Plan (Action Plan) sets out the framework, commitments, and activity for IAG to mitigate
and adapt to the impacts of climate change and deliver on its strategy. This Action Plan responds to material short, medium, and
long-term risks and opportunities across three focus areas:
(cid:4)
keeping people insured by enabling customers and IAG to manage risks and opportunities more effectively in a changing
climate;
building community climate and disaster resilience by delivering and collaborating on preparedness initiatives, research,
adaptation, and policy; and
reducing IAG’s emissions footprint and achieving net zero by 2050 to limit climate change.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
The Action Plan has two high-level targets that contribute to IAG’s broader strategic priorities:
(cid:4)
net zero emissions by 2050, with a 50% emissions reduction by 2030. We continue to make progress against our scope 1 and
2 target and are currently ahead of our 2025 target. We are committed to the ambition of net zero but acknowledge that there
is additional work to do to set the plan to achieve this; and
one million Australians and New Zealanders have taken action to reduce their risk from natural hazards by 2025.
(cid:4)
222 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Collaboration
IAG is a signatory to several voluntary principles-based frameworks which guide the integration of ESG considerations into its
business practices. These include the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative’s Principles for Sustainable
Insurance (PSI) and the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). In July 2022, IAG became a member of the Net-Zero Insurance
Alliance (NZIA). As an NZIA member, IAG is working with other insurers to develop the methodologies to assess emissions in its
underwriting portfolio and work towards a net zero future. Further details can be found in the ‘Our initiatives and community
partners’ section of the IAG website at www.iag.com.au.
Risk management
IAG's exposure to climate change and ESG risks is identified and assessed as part of its enterprise-wide risk management
framework. Through risk profiling, ongoing trend analysis, and an annual materiality process, information on these risks is
collected and reported to the Group Leadership Team and Board and used to update IAG's strategy at appropriate intervals.
The Enterprise Risk Profile (ERP) guides divisional implementation of IAG’s strategy and decision making, consistent with IAG’s Risk
Management Strategy and Risk Appetite Statement. The 2022 financial year ERP process revalidated an ‘Inadequate Climate
Change Response’ as a critical enterprise risk. This is consistent with previous years and the findings from IAG’s materiality
process, reflecting the systemic impact climate change has on IAG. This year ‘Affordability and Availability’ was also recognised as
a standalone enterprise risk. This will help to embed a shared understanding and agreement on the challenges presented by these
interconnected risks.
IAG’s response to climate change risks and opportunities is managed through the Climate & Disaster Resilience Action Plan.
Risk management activities
An outline of key climate and ESG activities is provided below. More detail can be found at www.iag.com.au, including the 2022
Annual Review and Sustainability report, and the Climate-related disclosure.
KEY ACTIVITIES - CLIMATE AND DISASTER RESILIENCE
Rethinking risk
Embedding climate change into insurance pricing: IAG is integrating climate risk management into its portfolio choices,
underwriting, product, and pricing approach. Signalling climate risk exposure supports decision-making in high-risk peril areas
where insurance affordability and availability are exacerbated.
Managing Capital: Using in-house understanding of natural perils, IAG pursues a comprehensive and diverse range of reinsurance
protection. IAG is also aligning its investment approach to support its capital position and resilience to climate risks.
Supporting customers and communities
Customer Carbon Offset Program: IAG launched the NRMA Insurance Carbon Offset Program in May 2022 to enable motor
customers to offset their yearly driving emissions, while contributing to NRMA insurance customer growth targets and IAG's net
zero target.
Rebuilding resilience: Household resilient design projects are informing opportunities to scale solutions to help customers adapt
to climate change including partnering with the Bushfire Building Council of Australia on the FORTIS House project to help build
sustainable houses resilient to natural perils.
Community and customer preparedness: IAG’s disaster resilience programs and partnerships, including the Wild Weather
Trackers in Australia and New Zealand, help customers and communities become better prepared and more resilient to climate-
related perils. This reduces the social and financial costs of disaster response and recovery to the community and business.
Influencing policy, standards, and codes
Leading by example: IAG shares its climate and disaster insights and reduces its own emissions to influence broader climate
action across systems. This includes publishing scientific natural perils research to drive behavioural change across the
insurance industry and its value chain. In New Zealand, the IAG Climate Change Survey is entering its fifth year, with results
shared with the broader business community to upskill on climate change adaptation.
Advocating for improved land planning, building codes and construction: IAG’s experience assessing risk and responding to claims
provides valuable information and resources to influence policy changes for land planning and the built environment. This
includes working with various levels of government and standards and code setting bodies to improve standards for new builds,
and to improve risk reduction options for legacy building stock.
23
Reducing our emissions
Net zero target: IAG is committed to net zero emissions by 2050, with 50% emissions reduction by 2030. IAG is updating its Net
Zero Roadmap to detail the activities needed to achieve scope 1 and 2 science-based emissions reduction targets as well as
activities to identify, manage, and reduce the most material scope 3 emissions across IAG’s value chain.
Scope 1 and 2 emissions: IAG is focused on introducing more renewable energy into its Australian energy mix over the next three
years and transitioning its New Zealand fleet to electric and hybrid vehicles.
Scope 3 emissions: IAG is committed to achieving its existing underwriting target and continues to make progress with exposure to
fossil fuels currently <0.01% of GWP.
IAG has also reduced the normalised carbon footprint and carbon intensity of its equity portfolios, exceeding its reduction targets
set until 2025. Refer to the Metrics and targets section for further detail.
There is more work needed to improve understanding of IAG's emissions footprint across its supply chain and underwriting
portfolios to support further emissions reduction activities. IAG is committed to developing a plan to achieve this goal. A key
focus is participating in Net-Zero Insurance Alliance activities to develop an industry-appropriate methodology to assess and
manage insured emissions.
KEY ACTIVITIES - ESG
Customer Equity Program – minimising obstacles for people to access our services and enabling improved customer experiences:
IAG continues to execute its Group Customer Equity Framework, incorporating the key initiatives of the newly developed Customer
Equity Principles and Maturity Model. This includes delivering web-based vulnerability training for front line staff and upskilling
select employees to perform the role of Customer Equity Champion within their business unit. We are also uplifting how we
measure and report progress against our customer equity initiatives.
IAG is also on track to implement the initiatives of its public Financial Inclusion Action Plan, responding to customer needs and
supporting social inclusion, with vulnerability training now embedded into IAG’s onboarding program.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and M(cid:261)ori – creating opportunity in Australia and New Zealand:
IAG launched its fourth Reconciliation Action Plan in June 2022, with a focus on supporting climate and disaster resilience risk
reduction and reducing incarceration and reoffending rates. This includes working with disaster resilience partners, enabling
economic opportunity through climate change mitigation initiatives, and working with Just Reinvest NSW to address incarceration.
In New Zealand, the He Rautaki M(cid:235)ori (M(cid:235)ori Engagement Strategy) continues to target four outcomes to help lift M(cid:235)ori prosperity
and wellbeing: embracing Te Ao M(cid:235)ori, fostering M(cid:235)ori leadership; supporting M(cid:235)ori business, and becoming a leading supplier to
M(cid:235)ori.
Human Rights and Modern Slavery – managing risk across IAG’s value chain:
Respect for human rights underpins IAG’s purpose and conduct. IAG's approach is informed by standards, including the United
Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the International Bill of Human Rights, and the International Labour
Organisation Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.
In December 2021, IAG published its second Modern Slavery Statement, which detailed the actions IAG has undertaken to
identify, assess and remediate Modern Slavery risks in its operations, supply chains and investments. Activity over the past two
years has been focused on getting the foundations right, including rolling out IAG’s Supplier Code of Conduct. IAG is now shifting
attention to practical implementation and collaboration, aiming to continually improve and refine its approach.
Responsible Investment – managing risks in our capital allocations:
IAG held $217 million in green bonds financing energy efficiency, clean energy, adaptation to climate change and climate resilient
infrastructure as at 30 June 2022.
Responsible Underwriting – reducing ESG exposures and finding new underwriting opportunities:
IAG is progressing work to incorporate ESG in underwriting by developing a responsible underwriting approach, including a focus
on reducing insured emissions.
Sustainable Procurement – managing supply chain risks:
100% of managed suppliers have received IAG's Supplier Code of Conduct and >50% of high/material risk suppliers have
completed supplier risk assessment questionnaires.
Metrics and targets
Details of IAG’s Sustainability performance, and progress against its ESG commitments, can be found in the 2022 Annual Review
and Sustainability Report. A full overview of IAG’s reported climate-related metrics can be found in the Climate-related disclosure,
and all reported ESG metrics are included in the FY22 ESG Data Summary. These disclosures are available at www.iag.com.au.
IAG is committed to developing a plan to meet its net zero ambitions. Reducing emissions to reach net zero is complex. Good
progress is being made, but there will be yearly fluctuations as methodologies for capturing and measuring emissions evolve. IAG
will respond and adapt to these developments accordingly.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
IAG believes good governance is essential to delivering its purpose and strategy, including delivering world-leading customer
experiences. At IAG, good governance is the culmination of a number of elements, including ethics, culture, leadership (including
Board and senior management), and policies and procedures (including remuneration and risk management frameworks).
Aiming for the highest standards across all elements of corporate governance enables IAG to focus more effectively on delivering
superior customer outcomes and supporting communities.
For the financial year ended 30 June 2022, IAG complied with the ASX Corporate Governance Council Corporate Governance
Principles and Recommendations (4th edition). Details of this compliance are set out in IAG’s 2022 Corporate Governance
Statement and in the Appendix 4G. This Corporate Governance Statement is current as at 12 August 2022 and has been approved
by the Board.
IAG’s 2022 Corporate Governance Statement is available at www.iag.com.au/about-us/corporate-governance.
FY23 GUIDANCE AND OUTLOOK
IAG’s confidence in its strong underlying business is reflected in upgraded guidance for FY23 which includes:
(cid:4)
GWP of ‘mid-to-high single digit’ growth. This will be primarily rate driven to cover claims inflation, higher reinsurance costs
and an increased natural peril allowance. Modest volume growth and an increase in customer numbers are expected.
reported insurance margin guidance of 14% to 16% which assumes:
– continued momentum in the underlying performance of IAG’s businesses, supported by increased investment yields;
– an increase in the natural peril allowance to $909 million, an increase of $144 million or nearly approximately 19% on the
(cid:4)
FY22 allowance;
– no material prior period reserve releases or strengthening; and
– no material movement in macro-economic conditions including foreign exchange rates or investment markets.
This guidance aligns to IAG’s aspirational goals to achieve a 15% to 17% insurance margin and a reported ROE of 12% to 13% over
the medium term. These goals are based on delivery of IAG’s ambitions of:
(cid:4)
an increase in the customer base of 1 million to 9.5 million by FY26;
an IIA insurance profit of at least $250 million by FY24;
$400 million in value from DIA claims and supply chain cost reductions on a run-rate basis from FY26;
greater than 80% of customer interactions across digital channels; and
further simplification and efficiencies to maintain the Group’s cost base at $2.5 billion.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
These goals are subject to assumptions and dependencies, including that there are no material adverse developments in macro-
economic conditions and disruptions or events beyond IAG’s control (for example, natural perils events in excess of IAG’s
allowances).

Cash earnings used for targeted ROE and dividend payout policy purposes are defined as net profit/(loss) attributable to IAG shareholders plus amortisation and
impairment of acquired identifiable intangibles, excluding any non-cash earnings items. Cash earnings will not be used for FY22 dividend payout purposes. Cash
earnings represent non-IFRS financial information.
26 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2022
The Board has determined to pay a final dividend of 5.0 cents per share, franked to 70% (2021 final dividend: 13.0 cents per share,
unfranked). The final dividend is payable on 22 September 2022 to shareholders registered as at 5pm Australian Eastern Standard
Time (AEST) on 19 August 2022.
This brings the full year dividend to 11.0 cents per share, which equates to a payout ratio of approximately 78% of reported net
profit after tax (NPAT). IAG’s dividend policy in future years will be to distribute 60-80% of NPAT excluding any after-tax earnings
impact from any future release from the business interruption provision.
As at 30 June 2022, and prior to allowance for payment of the final dividend, IAG had a $293 million franking balance on a
consolidated basis and the holding company had $42 million franking balance.
The dividend reinvestment plan (DRP) will operate for the final dividend for shareholders registered for the DRP as at 5pm AEST
on 22 August 2022. The issue price per share will be the Average Market Price as defined in the DRP terms with no discount for
participants. Shares allocated under the DRP are likely to be purchased on-market. Information about IAG’s DRP is available at
http://www.iag.com.au/shareholder centre/dividends/reinvestment.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS
During the financial year, the following changes became effective:
(cid:4)
On 19 July 2021, IAG announced that AmGeneral Holdings Berhad (AmGeneral), the Malaysian business in which it held a 49%
interest, had signed an Implementation Agreement for the proposed sale of its insurance business to Liberty Insurance Berhad
(Liberty). Regulatory approval for the sale was received on 28 June 2022 with final completion of the transaction (including
distribution of sale proceeds to IAG through a Court-approved capital reduction) occurring in July 2022.
On 5 April 2022, the Company issued NZ$400 million of subordinated term notes. After allowance for a reinvestment offer
applicable to the NZD subordinated convertible term notes issued in 2016, the Company raised a net amount of NZ$212
million. The subordinated term notes qualify as Tier 2 Capital under APRA’s Prudential Framework for General Insurers and
were quoted on the NZX Debt Market on 6 April 2022.
On 15 June 2022, the Company redeemed the remaining NZD subordinated convertible term notes, issued in 2016.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
Details of matters subsequent to the end of the financial year are set out below and in Note 7.2 within the financial statements.
These include:
(cid:4)
On 12 August 2022, the Board determined to pay 70% franked final dividend of 5.0 cents per share. The dividend will be paid
on 22 September 2022. The DRP will operate likely by acquiring shares on-market for participants with no discount applied.
On 1 August 2022, IAG announced that it has been served with a shareholder representative proceeding filed in the Supreme
Court of Victoria on behalf of persons who acquired shares in IAG during the period 11 March 2020 and 20 November 2020
(inclusive), in relation to IAG’s disclosure of the potential impact of COVID-19 related business interruption claims. IAG intends
to defend the proceeding. Refer to Note 7.1 for further details on contingent liabilities.
On 28 July 2022, IAG completed the sale of AmGeneral Insurance Berhad (AmGeneral), the Malaysian business in which it held
a 49% interest, to Liberty Insurance Berhad (announced on 19 July 2021). IAG’s share of the sale proceeds was approximately
$344 million, received in cash and subject to post-close adjustments. Completion of the sale has contributed an improvement
in IAG’s regulatory capital position of around $150 million.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
NON-AUDIT SERVICES
During the financial year, KPMG performed certain other services for IAG in addition to its statutory duties.
The Directors have considered the non-audit services provided during the financial year by KPMG and, in accordance with written
advice provided by resolution of the Audit Committee, are satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services by IAG’s auditor is
compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following
reasons:
(cid:4)
all non-audit assignments were approved in accordance with the process set out in the IAG framework for engaging auditors
for non-audit services; and
the non-audit services provided did not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES
110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants of the Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand and CPA Australia,
as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for
the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards.
(cid:4)
The level of fees for total non-audit services amounted to approximately $1,110,000 (refer to Note 8.3 for further details of costs
incurred on individual non-audit assignments).
227
INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Company’s constitution contains an indemnity in favour of every person who is or has been:
(cid:4)
a Director of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company; or
a Secretary of the Company or of a subsidiary of the Company; or
a person making or participating in making decisions that affect the whole or a substantial part of the business of the
Company or of a subsidiary of the Company; or
a person having the capacity to affect significantly the financial standing of the Company or of a subsidiary of the Company.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
The indemnity applies to every liability incurred by the person in the relevant capacity (except a liability for legal costs). In respect
of legal costs, the indemnity applies to all legal costs incurred in defending or resisting (or otherwise in connection with) certain
legal proceedings in which the person becomes involved because of that capacity.
The indemnity does not apply where the Company is forbidden by statute to indemnify the person against the liability or legal costs
or, if given, would be made void by statute.
In addition, the Company has entered into deeds of indemnity (in the form of individual deeds or an indemnity deed poll) to certain
current and former Directors and Secretaries and members of senior management of the Company and its subsidiaries (together,
Officers). Under these deeds, the Company:
(cid:4)
indemnifies, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Officers against liabilities incurred by the person in the relevant
capacity; and
is also required to maintain and pay the premiums on a contract of insurance covering the Officers against liabilities incurred
in respect of the relevant office to the maximum extent permitted by law. The insurance is maintained until the seventh
anniversary after the date when the relevant person ceases to hold office (or until proceedings commenced before that date
are finally resolved).
(cid:4)
The Company has purchased Directors’ and Officers’ liability insurance, which insures against certain liabilities (subject to
exclusions) in respect of Officers. Under the contract of insurance all reasonable steps must be taken by the insured and the
Company not to disclose the insurance premium and the nature of liabilities covered by such insurance.
LEAD AUDITOR'S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION UNDER SECTION 307C OF THE CORPORATIONS ACT

228 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2022
REMUNERATION REPORT
LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE PEOPLE AND REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the People and Remuneration Committee (PARC) and the Board, I am pleased to present the 2022 Remuneration
Report.
Responding to your feedback
The Board and PARC are determined to ensure that Executive remuneration continues to be aligned with IAG’s business strategy,
the market and most importantly, shareholder outcomes.
The first ‘strike’ against our Remuneration Report last year sent us strong and clear feedback on Executive remuneration
outcomes, and the principles that guided our decision making. As a Board, we reflected deeply on this feedback, and we have
made changes to ensure Executive remuneration outcomes are more closely aligned with shareholder outcomes.
The changes reflect the work of the external review of IAG’s remuneration framework that we flagged last year. They were further
guided by a PARC led working group that considered underlying structural issues and proposed changes. These are intended to:
(cid:4)
ensure greater alignment between shareholder outcomes and Executive remuneration outcomes;
introduce a simpler approach to performance measurement and some aspects of remuneration; and
be more transparent around the process, including how we make remuneration decisions.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
While the changes to our remuneration framework will be fully implemented for FY23 onwards, we applied a number of the key new
shareholder alignment performance measures for FY22. These include replacing cash earnings with net profit after tax (NPAT)
before amortisation of acquired intangibles (NPAT before amortisation) as the measure to determine short-term incentive (STI) pool
funding.
The elements of the Group Balanced Scorecard (Group BSC) were set at the commencement of the performance year prior to the
AGM and as result are unchanged for FY22 but have been replaced by a more strategically-focused BSC for FY23.
At the same time, we are conscious of the need to appropriately reward our employees, particularly given the challenges they have
had to address this year as a result of the number and degree of weather events, and the ongoing challenge of COVID-19.
What is changing?
Greater alignment
As an overarching principle, all one-off unusual items, or financial statement adjustments during the performance period will be
included when we determine outcomes for STI or long-term incentive (LTI) return on equity (ROE) hurdles.
We have established earnings calculation principles the Board uses when it considers whether adjustments to incentive outcomes
are required to help ensure any discretion exercised is also aligned with shareholder outcomes, and considers market, community,
and regulator expectations. The principles support transparent disclosure of the rationale in cases where discretion has been
applied.
A simplified approach
We have simplified the Group BSC we will use to determine the STI for FY23. We use the Group BSC to align the organisation to
delivering the outcomes outlined in our 5-year strategy and ambition. To make it more effective, the weighting on financial
measures in the Group BSC will increase from 50% to 60%, and we will have two financial measures, being underlying insurance
profit to reflect the quality of earnings, and NPAT, because this is a true and unadjusted representation of statutory profit / earnings
in the period and more closely aligns to the shareholder experience.
We have also reduced the total number of measures in the Group BSC from eight to six, and each measure has a direct link to one
of the four strategy pillars. Non-financial measures will support customer growth above market growth; digital transformation; risk
management; and performance underpinned by employee engagement. Details are set out in Section D. I. We will continue to
review the Group BSC measures to ensure they support the execution of our strategy.
The Board has committed to introduce ESG metrics into Executive incentive arrangements for FY24 and is working through the
approach.
Transparency
To improve the transparency of our STI financial targets and outcomes, we have begun to disclose these in the 2022 Remuneration
Report. We have also disclosed additional detail on the determination of the STI pool, the earnings calculation and Board decision-
making processes.
Alignment of remuneration outcomes with business results
The business delivered strong gross written premium growth of 5.7% and improved its underlying business performance despite the
challenging external environment which included an unprecedented level of natural perils claims and volatile investment markets.

NPAT was $347 million, compared to a $427 million loss in FY21. The result incorporates strengthening of prior period reserves, a
high number of natural peril events, volatile investment markets, and a higher inflationary environment. NPAT also included a
$200 million pre-tax release from the business interruption provision, and strong momentum in the underlying business
performance.
On a management results basis, our reported insurance profit of $586 million represented a reported insurance margin of 7.4%,
compared to 13.5% in FY21 after net natural peril costs of $1,119 million ($354 million above our original allowance); prior period
reserve strengthening of $172 million; and negative credit spread impacts of $45 million.
FY22 short-term incentives (STI) outcomes
The Board determined it was appropriate to establish an Executive STI pool for FY22 at 20% of maximum, representing 33% of
target payout. In making this decision, the Board recognised the strength of the overall balanced scorecard outcome. However,
the Board used the NPAT before amortisation result as the key factor in determining the size of the STI pool to closely align
Executive remuneration outcomes with shareholder outcomes.
The NPAT before amortisation result used to determine STI outcomes excluded the $200 million pre-tax benefit associated with the
reversal of a portion of the Business Interruption provision. The adjusted FY22 NPAT before amortisation result of $214 million
(which was 33% of target) was significantly affected by the high level of natural peril claims, volatile investment markets and
strengthening of prior period reserves.
Each Executive’s share of the STI pool was determined based on an assessment of their performance against Group and Divisional
scorecards. In line with the size of the Executive STI pool, the Group CEO STI outcome was 20% of maximum, with the outcome for
other Executives ranging from 17% to 22%.
LTI relating to performance periods ending in FY22
The FY18 LTI award with a relative total shareholder return (TSR) performance hurdle was measured during the year ended 30 June
2022 following the conclusion of the performance period on 30 September 2021. The FY19 LTI awards with cash ROE and relative
TSR performance hurdles were measured at the end of the 30 June 2022 performance period.
Both the FY18 TSR LTI award and the FY19 TSR LTI awards did not meet the performance threshold and as a result there has been
nil vesting of these awards.
We included all FY21 and FY22 one-off items in the cash ROE calculation for the FY19 LTI award with a performance period ending
30 June 2022; this resulted in nil vesting for that tranche.
We will replace cash ROE with reported ROE for the LTI to be granted in November 2022 (FY23 award), using a simple and
transparent reported ROE measurement approach that is explained in detail in Section E. III.
As in past years, the Managing Director and CEO’s LTI grant will be subject to shareholder approval at the AGM.
Risk-based adjustments to performance pay
In response to risk matters that emerged during FY22, the Board applied downward adjustments to reduce the FY22 STI awards of
three employees and the accountable Executive.
Changes to Executive pay and Non-Executive Director fees
There were no increases to Executive pay recommended for FY23 as part of the August 2022 review. Likewise, the Board has left
Board and Committee fees unchanged for the year ending 30 June 2023; these have now been unchanged since the year ended
30 June 2017.
Executive remuneration review during FY23
It is important that we continue to attract, motivate, and reward Executives for their work, and we acknowledge the improved
underlying performance of the business, which is reflected in the improved outlook that management has provided for FY23.
From FY23, we will more closely link STI outcomes to progress in the four strategic ambitions to ensure Executives are motivated to
drive IAG’s long-term aspirational goals.
We will maintain our focus on aligning Executive and shareholder outcomes. At the same time, we will ensure our remuneration
framework is fit-for-purpose and complies with regulatory changes such as APRA Prudential Standard CPS 511 as they become
effective.
Thank you for taking the time to read the Remuneration Report and we welcome your feedback.

B. SHAREHOLDER FEEDBACK AND IAG'S RESPONSE
At the 2021 Annual General Meeting, IAG’s shareholders expressed concerns regarding aspects of our remuneration framework
and FY21 Executive remuneration outcomes, resulting in a ‘strike’ against the 2021 Remuneration Report (57.25% vote against).
Since the strike, the Board and PARC have spent time engaging with and listening to the concerns of our shareholders, investors,
and proxy advisors. We value the feedback received, including that there needs to be greater alignment between shareholder
outcomes and Executive remuneration outcomes, a simpler approach to performance measurement and greater transparency
including on how remuneration decisions are made. After careful consideration, the Board has taken the following actions to
address the concerns raised.

IAG’S RESPONSE
(cid:4)
As an overarching principle, one-off items will be included in the
earnings calculations for the on-foot ROE hurdled LTI incentive
awards and the STI pool for Executive KMP. Adjustments to
earnings for one-off items will only be made in limited
circumstances where calculation principles will be used to guide
decision making. Refer to Section G for further information.
On-foot LTI: All FY21 and FY22 one-off items were included in the
ROE calculation for the FY19 LTI award with a performance period
ending 30 June 2022.
FY22 STI: NPAT before amortisation has replaced cash earnings as
the FY22 STI pool funding measure. The Board determined to
exclude the reversal of the business interruption provision
ensuring that Executive KMP do not receive a benefit from this
reversal.
FY23 STI: NPAT has replaced the cash ROE measure as one of the
financial measures in the FY23 Group BSC to better reflect overall
performance and more closely align to the shareholder
experience.
FY23 LTI grant: Reported ROE has replaced the cash ROE LTI
measure for the FY23 LTI grant to be made in November 2022.
NPAT is used in the calculation of Reported ROE as it represents
the true representation of statutory profit/earnings. Its use more
closely aligns Executive remuneration outcomes to the
shareholder experience. The measurement approach will also be
simplified and more transparent. In addition, vesting of the TSR
grant will not occur unless performance above the 50.1th
percentile is achieved. Refer Section E. III. for further details.
Strengthened earnings calculation principles: were introduced to
support decisions about whether to adjust the earnings measures
used to determine the STI pool funding and LTI ROE calculation.
The principles are simple, clear and will be applied consistently.
The principles will help ensure any adjustments are aligned with
shareholder outcomes, and consider market, community, and
regulator expectations. Refer to Section G for further information.
IAG will continue to benchmark Executive remuneration to ensure
Fixed Pay is market competitive, reflects role responsibilities, and
is sufficient to attract and retain talent. Further detail on our
benchmarking approach is provided in Section E.
Number of STI measures: The number of Group BSC measures will
be reduced from eight to six, and more closely aligned to IAG’s
strategy pillars for FY23, with two of these measures being
financial (underlying insurance profit and NPAT).
(cid:4) Weighting of STI measures: The weighting on financial measures
will be increased from 50% to 60% for the FY23 Group BSC.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
The ROE/WACC LTI measure will be replaced by the simpler
reported ROE for the FY23 LTI awards.
Reported ROE targets will be set in line with the business strategy,
and LTI awards will only vest when stretching reported ROE targets
have been achieved. Further detail on reported ROE targets is
provided in Section E.III.
The Board has committed to introduce appropriate ESG metrics
into IAG’s remuneration framework for FY24. The specific form
and application of these measures is still to be worked through.
Clearer, more transparent disclosures regarding FY22 Group BSC
financial measures, targets and outcomes are provided in Section
D of this report.
Disclosure of the Board’s remuneration decision making
processes, including the factors considered when making
decisions, has been enhanced.

C. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION STRUCTURE AND OVERVIEW OF FY22 OUTCOMES
I. Alignment of Executive reward to IAG’s purpose and strategy in FY22
The diagram below provides an overview of the FY22 Executive remuneration framework.
334 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2022
II. Maximum remuneration mix
The following graph illustrates the FY22 remuneration mix for Executive KMP across the elements of Fixed Pay, STI and LTI,
assuming STI and LTI are paid at maximum.
III. Overview of FY22 remuneration outcomes
The following diagram presents the outcomes of the August 2022 remuneration review. Further detail regarding these outcomes is
available in Section D.
The following graph illustrates the average FY22 actual remuneration mix across the elements of Fixed Pay, STI and LTI based on
the actual STI and LTI paid or vested for Executive KMP in relation to FY22.
Due to below target FY22 short-term incentive outcomes and 0% vesting of LTIs during the year, Fixed Pay comprises the majority of
FY22 actual remuneration.
D. LINKING IAG'S PERFORMANCE AND REWARD
I. FY22 STI Pool and Group BSC results - linking IAG's short-term performance and short-term reward
From FY22, NPAT before amortisation replaced cash earnings as the measure used to determine the size of the Executive STI pool.
The new STI pool funding measure is more closely aligned to shareholder outcomes.
The Executive STI Pool is the total amount of money available to reward executives. The Executive STI pool is allocated to
Executives based on an assessment of each Executive’s performance. The Group CEO’s performance is assessed against the
Group BSC. Performance for all other Executive KMP is measured against the Group BSC and Divisional Scorecards.
335
Group BSC objectives reflect a balance of financial and non-financial performance, are approved by the Board, and designed to
focus Executives on delivering superior performance outcomes against IAG’s strategy pillars. The financial objectives present a
holistic view of earnings and underlying profitability and reflect how effectively IAG uses its capital. Non-financial objectives assess
performance relating to customer, people and risk.
The table below summarises the STI Pool outcome and IAG’s Group BSC objectives and outcomes for FY22. Following feedback
from shareholders (refer to Section B), clearer, more transparent disclosures regarding STI financial measures, targets and
outcomes have been provided.

Changes to Group BSC for FY23
In response to feedback received from shareholders, the weight of financial measures within the Group BSC has increased
to 60% for FY23, the number of measures has reduced to six for FY23 and cash ROE has been replaced with NPAT as one
of the financial measures for FY23. The targets for all BSC measures will be calibrated to support delivery of IAG’s 5-year
ambition and measures have been streamlined and realigned to reflect the strategic pillars.

III. FY22 LTI outcomes - Linking IAG's long-term performance and long-term reward
During FY22, TSR performance hurdle for the FY18 LTI award reached the end of its four-year performance period on 30 September
2021. IAG’s TSR was ranked at the 19th percentile of its peer group resulting in 0% vesting of this component of the FY18 LTI
award.
At 30 June 2022, the FY19 LTI awards with ROE and TSR performance hurdles reached the end of their four-year performance
period and were also subject to testing. The following section summarises the LTI testing and vesting outcomes for these awards.
The following table presents the returns IAG delivered to shareholders for the last five financial years on a range of measures.
Reported ROE has been included in the table for reference given it will replace cash ROE for future LTI awards.

Fixed Pay includes amounts paid in cash, superannuation contributions plus the portion of IAG’s superannuation contribution that is paid as cash instead of being paid
into superannuation. Fixed Pay also includes salary sacrifice items such as cars and parking as determined in accordance with AASB 119 Employee Benefits. In
September 2021, Nick Hawkins, Michelle McPherson, Christine Stasi and David Watts received increases to their Fixed Pay following external benchmarking of their
roles as referenced in the 2021 Remuneration Report. Amounts paid to Nick Hawkins in 2021 reflect remuneration in his role as Deputy Chief Executive Officer from 8
April 2020 to 1 November 2020 and remuneration as the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer role from 2 November 2020.
Further details are provided in Section H.
Cash STI earned within the year ended 30 June 2022, to be paid in September 2022 (representing 50% of the award made for the financial year).
Deferred STI vesting on 13 August 2021 was valued using the five-day VWAP of $5.28. The deferred STI vesting on 11 August 2020 was valued using the five-day VWAP
of $5.06.
LTI in FY22 includes FY18 TSR hurdled tranche of LTI that reached the end of its performance period in September 2021 (nil vesting) as well as the FY19 LTI which
reached the end of its performance period on 30 June 2022 (nil vesting). This allows for consistent reporting of all STI and LTI awards that had a performance period
ending 30 June 2022. The FY19 award which will vest on 16 August 2022 has been valued using the five-day VWAP of $4.38 on 30 June 2022 (11 August 2020: $5.06)
(nil vesting). The FY21 prior year comparatives have been restated to be consistent with the current year presentation. Only Nick Hawkins and Julie Batch had amounts
included in the LTI vested column in 2021 and the amounts disclosed were $469,000 and $274,000 respectively. Should the treatment in 2022 have remained
consistent with prior year, the current year would have shown a $0 balance for all KMP who held FY19 LTI awards.
Remuneration reflects part year service for Jarrod Hill (from 13 September 2021), Tim Plant (from 15 November 2021) and Peter Taylor (from 18 May 2022).
Prior year remuneration amounts are not shown for Peter Horton as he became Executive KMP from 1 July 2021.
Amounts paid in 2021 for Neil Morgan and Amanda Whiting reflect part year remuneration for time in Executive KMP roles during FY21.
Remuneration for Amanda Whiting was determined in New Zealand dollars (NZD) and reported in Australian dollars (AUD) using the average exchange rate for the year
ended 30 June 2022 which was 1 NZD = 0.93752 AUD.
(10) David Watts ceased as Executive KMP on 11 February 2022. Remuneration reflects part year service.

V. Group CEO FY22 actual remuneration received
Based on the information shown in Section D. V. (Actual Remuneration Received by Executive KMP), the diagram below illustrates
the components of FY22 actual remuneration received by the Group CEO, including at risk remuneration from prior years vesting
based on performance. Vested LTI is not shown in the below diagram as all LTI awards tested during the period lapsed as
performance was below the vesting thresholds.
E. OVERVIEW OF REMUNERATION ELEMENTS
I. Fixed Pay
Overview
Fixed Pay comprises cash salary and superannuation (KiwiSaver for the Chief Executive, New
Zealand).
Benchmarking approach
Fixed Pay is set with reference to the median pay for comparable roles in the external market, the
size and complexity of the role, and the skills and experience of the individual, and to ensure it is
sufficient to attract and retain talent.
For Executive KMP, the FY22 benchmarking included financial services (i.e., Banking and Insurance)
companies in the S&P/ASX 100 Index and the 10 companies above and below IAG’s market
capitalisation.
II. STI
The table below outlines key features of the FY22 STI plan for Executive KMP.

Participants
STI maximum

Gateways
To be eligible for an STI, Executive KMP must meet compliance and conduct gateways. These
gateways assess adherence to IAG’s Code of Ethics and Conduct and individual conduct in
managing the business and completion of mandatory training.

DESIGN FEATURE
Funding
APPROACH
The Board considers the Group’s NPAT before amortisation performance against plan when
determining the overall STI funding for the year.
In response to shareholder feedback, the FY22 STI pool funding was determined based on NPAT
before amortisation to better align Executive remuneration with shareholder outcomes. The
Board also established STI earnings calculation principles (refer to Section G). The Board
considers the NPAT before amortisation measure appropriate as it includes one-off items and
aligns more closely with IAG’s reported financial performance.
Performance measures &
assessment
Performance is measured against the Group BSC for the Group CEO, and Group BSC and
Divisional Scorecards for all other Executive KMP. Performance measures comprise financial and
non-financial objectives aligned to our strategy pillars. Further information regarding the FY22
Group BSC is set out in Section D of this report.
The Board assesses the risk management performance and conduct of each Executive and may
apply discretion to individual STI outcomes to ensure outcomes appropriately reflect performance
(including any events from prior years that have come to light in the current year).
Delivery
Half the STI award is paid in cash in the September following the end of the financial year for
which performance is assessed. The other half is deferred for up to two years based on
continued service.
Deferred STI is typically paid in the form of DARs. DARs are rights that entitle participants to
receive one IAG share, granted at no cost to the Executive. No dividend is paid on any unvested,
or vested and unexercised DARs. The number of DARs issued is calculated based on the VWAP of
the Company's ordinary shares over the 30 days up to and including 30 June before the grant
date.
Forfeiture
Unvested DARs will generally lapse if an Executive resigns prior to the vesting date, except in
special circumstances (redundancy, retirement, death, or total and permanent disablement).
When an Executive ceases employment in special circumstances, any unvested DARs may be
retained, subject to Board discretion. Any DARs retained will remain subject to the existing terms
and conditions of the award, including the vesting date.
In cases where an Executive ceases employment for serious misconduct, all DARs will lapse
whether exercisable or not.
Executives who participate in the STI plan become eligible to receive one ordinary share of the
Company per DAR by paying an exercise price of $1 per tranche of DARs exercised.
DARs expire seven years from the grant date, or on any other date determined by the Board
(Expiry Date). DARs that are not exercised before the Expiry Date will lapse.

Changes to STI for FY23
In response to feedback received from shareholders and to simplify the STI plan, the number of Group BSC measures will be
reduced from eight to six, the weighting on financial measures will be increased to 60% increasing the focus on delivering
sustainable outcomes for our shareholders, and cash ROE will be replaced by NPAT as a measure in the Group BSC. Further detail
on these changes will be provided in the 2023 Remuneration Report.

DESIGN FEATURE
APPROACH
All current Executives, other than the Chief Risk Officer, received FY22 LTI awards. These awards
were based on the percentages in the table above and the Executive’s Fixed Pay at the time of
the award. The FY22 LTI award will reach the end of its performance period on 30 June 2026.
For details of the number of rights granted to each Executive KMP refer Section H. IV. Movement
in Equity Plans within the Financial Year.
Instrument
LTI awards are determined annually by the Board and granted in the form of EPRs. EPRs are
rights that entitle participants to receive one IAG share (or cash equivalent where determined by
the Board), subject to achieving performance hurdles.
Allocation methodology
The number of EPRs issued is calculated by dividing the Executive’s LTI opportunity by the share
price (30-day VWAP up to 30 June).
Dividend entitlements
No dividend is paid or payable on any unvested, or vested and unexercised, EPRs.
Performance period
Four years.
Performance hurdles
Description
Definition
Testing
ROE (50% weighting)
Relative TSR (50% weighting)
Relative TSR provides a
measure of the return IAG
delivers to shareholders
relative to a peer group.
Relative TSR is measured
against the TSR of the top 50
industrial companies in the
S&P/ASX 100 Index. Industrial
companies include all
companies excluding those in
the energy sector and the
metals & mining industry.
TSR measures the return a
shareholder would obtain from
holding a company’s share over
a period, taking into account
factors such as changes in the
market value of shares and
dividends paid over that period.
Relative TSR performance is
measured between 30 June of
the base year and 30 June of
the test year.
The opening and closing share
price for the TSR calculation for
IAG and peer group companies
uses a three-month VWAP.
Cash ROE focuses on the
return delivered on
shareholders’ funds and is a
direct reflection of IAG’s
performance, without being
impacted by the performance
of other companies.
Cash ROE is calculated by
dividing the cash earnings of
IAG by the average total
shareholders' equity. The
resulting figure is then
expressed as a multiple of
IAG’s WACC.
Cash earnings is defined as
NPAT attributable to owners of
the Company adjusted for the
post-tax effect of any unusual
items and the amortisation and
impairment of acquired
identifiable intangibles. The
Board will use the LTI earnings
calculation principles
developed in FY22 (refer
Section G) to determine
whether earnings need to be
adjusted for unusual items
after tax (non-recurring in
nature).
The ROE vesting outcome is
based on the average adjusted
cash ROE across the
performance period (the eight
half-year periods) divided by the
average WACC over the same
timeframe.
In determining vesting
outcomes, the Board considers
the overall quality of earnings
over the performance period,
including using the LTI earnings
calculation principles to guide
decision making on differences
between the statutory profit
and cash earnings, as well as
consideration of movements in
the cost of capital.

Unvested rights will generally lapse if an Executive resigns before the performance hurdles are
tested, except in special circumstances (redundancy, retirement, death or total and permanent
disablement).
When an Executive ceases employment in special circumstances, any unvested rights may be
retained, subject to Board discretion. Any rights retained will remain subject to the original
performance conditions.
In cases where an Executive ceases employment for serious misconduct, all EPRs will lapse
whether exercisable or not.
Expiry date
EPRs expire seven years from the grant date, or on an Expiry Date determined by the Board.
EPRs that are not exercised before the Expiry Date will lapse.
Changes to LTI for FY23
For the FY23 LTI grant to be made in November 2022 (subject to shareholder approval for the Managing Director and Chief
Executive Officer), the existing ROE LTI measure will be replaced by reported ROE. Reported ROE will be calculated by dividing NPAT
by average total shareholder equity. This measure is simpler and better aligns the LTI to shareholder outcomes over the longer
term. The reported ROE targets will be as follows:
ROE performance
Below 10%
At 10%
Between 10% and below 14%
At or above 14%
% of LTI vesting
0%
20%
Straight-line vesting
100%
Straight-line vesting will occur between 10% and 14% ROE performance.
For the FY23 LTI grant to be made in November 2022, the point at which vesting commences for the relative TSR hurdle will
increase from the 50th percentile of the peer group to the 50.1th percentile. The revised relative TSR vesting schedule will be as
follows:
Relative TSR percentile ranking
Below the 50.1th percentile

Above the 50.1th and below the 75th
percentiles
At or above the 75th percentile

0%
50%
Straight-line vesting

This change ensures that TSR performance must exceed the median level of performance before vesting will occur. Straight-line
vesting will occur between the 50.1th and 75th percentile of the peer group.

F. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ARRANGEMENTS
I. Remuneration policy
The principles that underpin IAG’s approach to fees for Non-Executive Directors are that fees should:
be sufficiently competitive to attract and retain a high calibre of Non-Executive Director; and
(cid:4)
create alignment between the interests of Non-Executive Directors and shareholders through the mandatory shareholding
requirement.
(cid:4)
II. Fee structure
Non-Executive Director remuneration comprises:
(cid:4)
Company Board fees (paid as cash, superannuation and Non-Executive Director Award Rights);
Committee fees; and
Subsidiary board fees.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
Directors can elect the portion of fees contributed into their nominated superannuation fund, provided minimum legislated
contribution levels are met.
The aggregate limit of Company Board fees (as approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in October 2013) is
$3,500,000 per annum.
III. Board and Committee fees

IV. Changes to Non-Executive Director fees
No changes were made to the Board and/or Committee fees for the Board in FY22. There have been no changes to fees since
FY17.
V. Mandatory shareholding requirement for Non-Executive Directors
Non-Executive Directors are required to accumulate and hold ordinary shares of the Company with a value equal to their annual
Board fee. The Non-Executive Directors have three years from the date of their appointment to the Board to meet their required
holding.
The mandatory shareholding requirement for Non-Executive Directors is based on either the value of shares at acquisition or the
market value at the testing date, whichever is higher. This allows Non-Executive Directors to build a long-term shareholding in IAG
without being impacted by short-term share price volatility. Compliance with this requirement is assessed at the end of each
financial year, using the 30-day VWAP leading up to and including 30 June, the value of shares at acquisition, and the Non-
Executive Director’s base Board fee from the start of the accumulation period.
All Non-Executive Directors with a testing date of 30 June 2022 have met the applicable mandatory shareholding requirement.
VI. Non-Executive Director Award Rights Plan (NARS Plan)
Non-Executive Directors may elect to receive some of their fees in rights over IAG shares (NARs). Structuring Non-Executive
Director fees in this manner supports Non-Executive Directors to build their shareholdings in IAG. This enhances the alignment of
interest between Non-Executive Directors and shareholders as well as facilitating the achievement of mandatory shareholding
requirements.
45
DESIGN FEATURE
Participation
Vesting conditions
APPROACH
Each Non-Executive Director may agree with IAG to have a proportion of their base Board fee
provided as NARs. Participation in the NARs Plan is voluntary.
A service condition is attached to the vesting of the NARs. NARs are divided into twelve equal
tranches. Vesting of each tranche is subject to minimum continuous engagement as a Director from
the allocation date until the applicable vesting for that tranche. The full annual allocation of
unvested NARs is issued at the grant date, with tranches vesting each month to align the vesting of
NARs with the payment of Non-Executive Director fees.
There are no performance conditions attached to the NARs plan.
Instrument
Grants under the NARs Plan are in the form of rights over the Company’s ordinary shares. Each NAR
entitles the Non-Executive Director to acquire one ordinary share in IAG for nil consideration.
Allocation methodology
The number of NARs offered during the 2022 financial year was determined by dividing the amount
of the base Board fee nominated by the five-day VWAP over the five trading days from 8 November
2021, rounded up to the nearest NAR.
Voting rights
Expiry date
Forfeiture conditions
NARs do not carry voting rights until they are exercised and the Non-Executive Director holds shares
in IAG.
NARs expire 15 years from the grant date, or on any other Expiry Date determined by the Board.
NARs that are not exercised before the Expiry Date will lapse.
In the event a Non-Executive Director ceases service with the Board, any vested NARs may be
exercised for shares in IAG in the subsequent trading window. Any unvested NARs will lapse.
Under certain circumstances (e.g. change of control), the Board also has sole and absolute
discretion to deal with the NARs, including waiving any applicable vesting conditions and/or exercise
conditions by giving notice or allowing a Non-Executive Director affected by the relevant event to
transfer their NARs.
G. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE
I. IAG's approach to remuneration governance
A robust governance framework is in place to carefully manage remuneration and any associated risks. The diagram below
illustrates the key stakeholders involved in supporting our remuneration governance framework. The PARC’s responsibilities are
set out in the Board People and Remuneration Committee Charter.

calculation
principles –
Introduced from
FY22
Variable pay reinforces behaviours and supports outcomes aligned to IAG’s purpose and strategy pillars. It
encourages both prudent risk taking and risk mitigation that protects the long-term sustainability, financial
soundness, and reputation of the Group and aligned with shareholders. The Board retains overriding
discretion to adjust variable pay (upwards, downwards and to zero) including:
(cid:4)
where a person or group of persons has been found to have engaged in misconduct or exposed IAG to
risk beyond its risk appetite or controls;
where it is necessary to protect the Group’s long-term financial soundness;
to take into account the outcomes of business activities;
where it is required by law or APRA Prudential Standards; or
any other circumstances the Board determines are relevant.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
The Board has the discretion to adjust upwards and downwards:
(cid:4)
the size of the Group STI pool under the STI plan, and to award different STI allocations to different
segments of employees; and
LTI vesting outcomes to ensure the performance of the Group and individual are aligned to shareholder
outcomes and expectations.
(cid:4)
As an overarching principle, all one-off, unusual items, or financial statement adjustments during the
financial year will be included when measuring financial performance. Performance adjustments may be
made in limited circumstances for items that meet the Group materiality threshold individually or collectively
during the performance period.
Following feedback from shareholders (refer to Section B), when considering whether an adjustment is to be
made, the following earnings calculation principles will be used to guide decision making to ensure
stakeholder interests are fairly balanced and support consistent application of Board discretion year-on-year.
Any adjustment decisions will consider:
(cid:4)
alignment with shareholder, market, regulator and community expectations;
shareholder outcomes;
the impact on IAG’s reputation;
the purpose and integrity of the STI or LTI plan;
the circumstances surrounding the item;
whether the item was within the Executive team’s control or influence;
whether the item resulted from conduct contrary to the Company’s risk appetite;
actions taken (or not taken) by management to mitigate risk or reduce the impact of the item;
the extent to which the matter has been reflected in outcomes for other incentive schemes and/or risk
adjustment decisions;
whether the performance assessment and/or outcomes reflect the impact of unforeseen events on the
business and shareholder value; and
the level of performance expected when the original targets were set.

Risk adjustment
Where possible, adjustments to LTI will be made at the time of vesting.
In order to support the Board in making a risk adjustment, the Chief Risk Officer and the Executive General
Manager, Group Internal Audit conduct an annual risk review to identify any material risk matters that may
have emerged during the year (relating to either the current or prior financial years). The Board’s
assessment of identified risk matters and determination of risk related adjustments to variable pay is
outlined below.
1. Assessment of risk matters
2. Determination of adjustment
3. Application of adjustment
The Risk Committee assesses the
severity of the impact of a matter
before then considering the
individuals involved.
The PARC supports the Board in
determining the quantum of
adjustments with reference to the
Risk Committee’s assessment and
applying judgment to ensure the
adjustment is appropriate and
reasonable.
The Board approved adjustments
may be applied using the following
levers:
a. Reductions to in-year STI
b.
awards; and/or
Adjustments to unvested LTI
awards and/or deferred STI.
In response to risk matters that emerged during FY22, or where further information came to light in relation
to prior year matters, the Board determined to make a number of downward risk-related adjustments to STI
awards for FY22. In total, risk adjustments were made to four employees and ranged from 10% to 20% of
their FY22 STI.
Malus
The Board retains the discretion to adjust downwards the unvested portion of any deferred STI or LTI
awards, including to zero.
47
Hedging
Executives may not enter into transactions or arrangements that operate to limit the economic risk of
unvested entitlements to IAG securities.
Mandatory
shareholding
requirement for
Executive KMP
The mandatory shareholding requirement allows Executives to build a long-term shareholding in IAG.
Compliance with this requirement is assessed at the end of each financial year. The mandatory
shareholding requirement for Executives is based on either the value of shares at acquisition or the market
value at the testing date, whichever is higher. This allows Executives to build a long-term shareholding in
IAG without being impacted by short-term share price volatility. Compliance with this requirement is
assessed at the end of each financial year, using the 30-day VWAP leading up to and including 30 June, the
value of shares at acquisition, and the Executive’s base pay from the start of the accumulation period.
All Executives with a testing date of 30 June 2022 have met the applicable mandatory shareholding
requirement.

III. Use of remuneration advisors
During the year PwC was engaged to provide Non-Executive Director and Executive remuneration benchmarking. The remuneration
data provided was used as an input to the remuneration decisions by the Board only. The Board considered the data provided,
together with other factors, in setting Executive’s remuneration. EY was engaged by the PARC to conduct a review of IAG’s
remuneration framework and provide market insights to support the company’s response to the 2021 Remuneration Report strike.
No remuneration recommendations, as defined in the Corporations Act 2001, were provided by the remuneration advisors.

Base pay includes amounts paid in cash plus the portion of IAG’s superannuation contribution that is paid as cash instead of being paid into superannuation, and salary
sacrifice items such as cars and parking, as determined in accordance with AASB 119 Employee Benefits. In September 2021, Nick Hawkins, Michelle McPherson,
Christine Stasi and David Watts received increases to their Fixed Pay following external benchmarking of their roles as referenced in the 2021 Remuneration Report.
Amounts paid to Nick Hawkins in 2021 reflect remuneration in his role as Deputy Chief Executive Officer from 8 April 2020 to 1 November 2020 and remuneration as the
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer role from 2 November 2020.
Cash STI earned within the year ended 30 June and to be paid in the following September (representing 50% of the award made for the financial year).
This column includes annual and mid-service leave accruals and other short-term employment benefits as agreed and provided under specific conditions.
Superannuation represents the employer’s contributions.
Long service leave accruals as determined in accordance with AASB 119.
Payment in lieu of notice which incorporates statutory notice and severance entitlements.
The deferred STI is granted as DARs and is valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. An allocated portion of unvested rights is included in the total remuneration
disclosure above. DARs are equity settled. The deferred STI for the year ended 30 June 2022 will be granted in the next financial year, so no value was included in the
current financial year’s total remuneration. For Jarrod Hill and Tim Plant, amounts in this column relate to DARs granted as compensation for incentives forgone from their
previous employers. See footnote (11) and (14) for further details.
This value represents the allocated portion of unvested EPRs (unvested LTI). The reported amounts are an accounting valuation and do not reflect what the Executive
actually received during the year, or what they will receive in future years. To determine the value of EPRs, a Monte Carlo simulation (for the relative TSR performance
hurdle) and Black-Scholes valuation (for the cash ROE performance hurdle) have been applied. The valuations take into account the exercise price of the EPRs, the life of
the EPRs, the price of ordinary shares in the Company as at the grant date, expected volatility in the Company's share price, expected dividends, the risk-free interest rate,
performance of shares in IAG's peer group of companies, early exercise and non-transferability and turnover which is assumed to be zero for an individual's remuneration
calculation. EPRs are considered a hybrid share-based payment as the Board determines whether they are settled in equity or cash.
At-risk remuneration is dependent on a combination of the financial performance of IAG, the Executives' performance against individual measures (financial and non-
financial) and continuing employment. At-risk remuneration typically includes STI (cash and deferred remuneration) and LTI.
(10) Remuneration reflects part year service for Jarrod Hill (from 13 September 2021), Tim Plant (from 15 November 2021) and Peter Taylor (from 18 May 2022).

Opening number of rights on issue represents the balance as at the date of appointment to a KMP role or 1 July 2021.
The value of the DARs granted during the year is the fair value at grant date calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The value of the DARs granted on 4
November 2021 in respect of deferred STI was $4.40 per right. This amount is allocated to remuneration over the years ending 30 June 2022 to 30 June 2024. The
value of the cash ROE portion of the EPRs granted on 4 November 2021 and 9 June 2022 is the fair value at grant date, calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation
model, which was $4.12 and $3.76 respectively. The value of the relative TSR portion of the EPRs granted on 4 November 2021 and 9 June 2022 is the fair value at
grant date, calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation, which was $2.19 and $1.75 respectively. The cash ROE and relative TSR portions of the EPRs are first
exercisable after the performance period concludes on 30 June 2025. The amount is allocated to remuneration over the years ending 30 June 2022 to 30 June 2025.
The value of the NARs granted during the year is the fair value at grant date calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The value of the annual NARs granted
on 19 November 2021 was $4.49 or $4.52 depending on the nominated vesting period. This amount was allocated to remuneration over the year ended 30 June
2022.
Rights exercised and lapsed during the financial year. The value of the rights exercised and lapsed is based on the annual VWAP for the year ended 30 June 2022,
which was $4.67.
Jarrod Hill received 135,500 DARs on 4 November 2021 as compensation for incentives forgone on leaving his previous employer. The value of these DARs was $4.38
per right. Mr Hill also received 221,300 EPRs on 4 November 2021.
Opening balances on EPRs for Neil Morgan and Amanda Whiting have been restated to reflect EPRs that lapsed in August 2020 prior to them becoming Executive KMP.
For Neil Morgan, the opening balance reported in the 2021 report was 336,358 but should have been 325,588. For Amanda Whiting the opening balance was 65,048
but should have been 63,027.
Tim Plant received 308,800 DARs on 9 June 2022 as compensation for incentives forgone on leaving his previous employer. DARs per tranche were 123,211, 108,697
and 76,892 at values of $4.26, $4.08 and $3.90 respectively. Mr Plant also received 209,000 EPRs on 9 June 2022.
The rights on issue at 30 June for former KMP represent the rights held at the date each ceased to hold a KMP role. Total rights held at 30 June reflects retained
unvested LTI and deferred STI awards that will continue to vest according to the standard schedule and required Board approvals.

Terms and conditions for LTI plans from FY18 to FY22 relating to relative TSR and cash ROE are the same apart from the change to the vesting range for the ROE
tranches. For ROE tranches granted prior to FY20, vesting commenced when ROE was 1.2 times WACC, with maximum vesting when ROE was 1.6 times WACC or
greater. For tranches from FY20 (inclusive), vesting commences when ROE is 1.4 times WACC with maximum vesting when ROE is 1.9 times WACC or greater.
The performance hurdles for the FY19 TSR and ROE LTI tranches were not achieved. Accordingly, 100% of the FY19 LTI rights will lapse.

Net movement of shares relates to acquisition and disposal transactions by the KMP and their related parties during the year.
This represents the relevant interest of each Director in ordinary shares issued by the Company, as notified by the Directors to the ASX in accordance with section

NOTE 1.2 ABOUT THIS REPORT
A. CORPORATE INFORMATION
Insurance Australia Group Limited (Company or Parent), the ultimate parent entity in the Group, is a for-profit company,
incorporated and domiciled in Australia and limited by shares publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Its
registered office and principal place of business is Level 13, Tower Two, Darling Park, 201 Sussex Street, Sydney, NSW 2000,
Australia. This financial report covers the consolidated financial statements for the Company and its subsidiaries (IAG or Group) for
the year ended 30 June 2022.
A description of the nature of IAG's operations and its principal activities is included in the Directors' Report.
B. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
This general purpose financial report was authorised by the Board of Directors for issue on 12 August 2022 and complies with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), the Corporations
Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB), other
authoritative pronouncements of the AASB and the ASX Listing Rules.
The current IFRS standard for insurance contracts does not include a comprehensive set of recognition and measurement criteria.
On 10 July 2020, the IASB published the final IFRS 17 standard (IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts – adopted as AASB 17 Insurance
Contracts in an Australian context) that does include such criteria, with an effective date for IAG of 1 July 2023. Until this standard
takes effect, the financial reports of insurers in different jurisdictions that comply with IFRS may not be comparable in terms of the
recognition and measurement of insurance contracts.
C. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost principles, as modified by certain exceptions noted in
the financial report, with the principal exceptions being the measurement of all investments and derivatives at fair value and the
measurement of the outstanding claims liability and related reinsurance and other recoveries at present value. All values are
rounded to the nearest million dollars, unless otherwise stated, in accordance with ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/191.
The balance sheet is prepared with the assets and liabilities presented broadly in order of liquidity. The assets and liabilities
comprise both current amounts (expected to be recovered or settled within 12 months after the reporting date) and non-current
amounts (expected to be recovered or settled more than 12 months after the reporting date).
I. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by the Company as at 30 June
2022. A list of significant controlled entities is set out in Note 6.3. IAG controls an investee if it has (i) power over the investee; (ii)
exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (iii) the ability to use its power over the investee
to affect the amount of those returns. Where an entity either began or ceased to be controlled during a financial year, the results
are included from the date control commenced or up to the date control ceased. The financial information of all subsidiaries is
prepared for consolidation for the same reporting year as the Parent. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-
company balances and transactions, including income, expenses, and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions,
have been eliminated.
Where a subsidiary is less than wholly-owned, the non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown
separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated balance sheet and statement of changes in
equity. The Group recognises non-controlling interests in an acquired entity at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of
the acquired entity’s net assets. A change in ownership of a controlled entity that results in no gain or loss of control is accounted
for as an equity transaction.
II. Presentation and foreign currency
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company. Foreign currency
transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at reporting date are translated to Australian dollars using reporting date
exchange rates. Resulting exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss.
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars using reporting date exchange rates while equity
items are translated using historical rates. The consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated cash flow
statement are translated using annual average rates for the reporting year. Exchange rate differences arising on translation are
recorded directly in equity in the foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR). On the disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative
amount of exchange differences deferred in the FCTR relating to that foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss.
III. Reclassification of comparatives
Certain items have been reclassified from IAG's prior year financial report to conform to the current year's presentation basis. The
reclassifications are:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
reclassification of investment income (refer to Note 2.3 for further details);
reclassification of trade and other payables (refer to Note 2.7 for further details); and
reclassification of remuneration of auditors (refer to Note 8.3 for further details).
662 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2022
D. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ADOPTED
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report have been applied consistently by all entities in IAG and
are the same as those applied for the previous reporting year, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements of entities
operating outside Australia that maintain accounting records in accordance with overseas accounting principles are adjusted where
necessary to comply with the significant accounting policies of IAG. The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation
of this financial report are set out within the relevant note.
I. Changes in accounting policies
There were no new Australian Accounting Standards applicable for the current reporting year.
II. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the process of applying the significant accounting policies, certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions are applied
and judgements are made by management, the results of which affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The
estimates and related assumptions are based on experience and other factors that are considered to be reasonable, and are
reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which they are revised, and future
periods if relevant. Details of the material estimates and judgements are set out within the relevant note, as outlined below:
AREAS OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Claims and reinsurance and other recoveries on outstanding claims
Liability adequacy test
Intangible assets and goodwill impairment testing, initial measurement and useful life
Income tax and related assets and liabilities
Customer refunds provision

Note 5.3
III. Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and other economic factors
As the economy emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, together with the occurrence of other global events, there are various
factors that are impacting the operating environment. This includes effects that IAG is experiencing such as increasing interest
rates and the emergence of higher inflation, which is increasing the estimation uncertainty in the preparation of these financial
statements. The Group has developed various accounting estimates in these financial statements based on forecasts of economic
conditions which reflect expectations and assumptions as at 30 June 2022 about future events that the Directors believe are
reasonable in the circumstances. There is a considerable degree of judgement involved in preparing these forecasts. The
underlying assumptions are also subject to uncertainties which are often outside the control of the Group. Accordingly, actual
economic conditions may be different from those forecast since anticipated events may not occur as expected, and the effect of
those differences may significantly impact accounting estimates included in these financial statements.
The significant accounting estimates particularly impacted by these associated uncertainties are predominantly related to the
valuation of the outstanding claims liability, recoverable amount assessments of non-financial assets, and fair value measurement
of investments.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic together with the effects of other economic factors, on each of these accounting estimates
is discussed further below. Readers should carefully consider these disclosures in light of the inherent uncertainty described
above.
Outstanding claims liability
(cid:4)
IAG’s insurance portfolio continues to experience impacts as a result of COVID-19 and other economic factors. There is a risk that
the associated economic factors could be more severe than estimated and, as a result, the development of the claims over time
could result in the ultimate cost of those claims being higher than the current outstanding claims liability established. The impacts
on claims experience is expected to materially differ between classes of business and, for certain classes, potentially impact across
more than one accident year.
During the current year, the motor portfolio has continued to be impacted through favourable claim frequency as a result of a
sequence of mobility restrictions introduced to slow the spread of COVID-19, particularly the extended lockdowns in Victoria and
New South Wales over July to October 2021. Offsetting this, IAG observed elevated inflationary pressure on claims costs in motor
and home portfolios due to supply chain and labour market disruption, along with deterioration in long-tail portfolios, particularly in
commercial liability reflecting elevated average claim size.
The total pre-tax provision for business interruption claims associated with COVID-19 was $975 million at 30 June 2022 (2021:
$1,236 million). The reduction includes a $200 million release and a $61 million reduction based on the increase in the yield
curve. Following the Full Court of the Federal Court’s appeal judgment delivered on 21 February 2022 (noted below), the following
factors have been considered in determining the appropriate level of release from the business interruption provision at 30 June
2022:
!
!
the number and nature of the claims received since the second test case; and
analysis of the scope of the judgment and its application.
Extensive scenario testing of the adequacy of the provision has been undertaken during the 2022 financial year. A substantial part
of the provision continues to include a risk margin reflecting the uncertainty of the potential legal outcomes and subsequent claims
that may arise.
63
On 18 November 2020, the Supreme Court of New South Wales Court of Appeal (NSWCA) delivered its judgment on the first
business interruption insurance test case, which determined pandemic exclusions that refer to the Quarantine Act and subsequent
amendments only, rather than the Biosecurity Act, are not effective to exclude cover for losses associated with COVID-19. On 25
June 2021, the High Court of Australia (HCA) dismissed the insurers' application for special leave to appeal the decision of the
NSWCA.
During the current financial year, a number of developments have emerged. IAG’s exposure in respect of policy exclusions which
reference the Quarantine Act without specific reference to the Biosecurity Act is limited to historical policies only as all new and
renewing policies now include the Biosecurity Act or a broader exclusion.
Even while the first business interruption insurance test case, noted above, was in progress, preparations were underway for a
second business interruption insurance test case. The second business interruption insurance test case was heard by the Federal
Court of Australia in September 2021. On 8 October 2021, the Federal Court of Australia delivered its judgment in the second test
case and found in favour of insurers on a significant number of policy wording questions and for policyholders on other questions.
In November 2021, the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia heard appeals in 5 of the 10 cases in the second test case
(including the 2 IAG cases) and the Full Court delivered its appeal judgment on 21 February 2022. The judgment was mostly
favourable to insurers and upheld many aspects of the Federal Court of Australia’s original decision. The judgment did reverse two
elements of the judgment in one of the IAG cases relating to the treatment of Jobkeeper payments and the calculation of interest.
Special leave applications have been filed in the HCA in 3 of the 5 test cases that were appealed to the Full Court of the Federal
Court of Australia (including the 2 IAG cases). The HCA has now informed the parties that it will conduct an oral hearing to
determine the special leave applications in each of these proceedings and that the oral hearing will not be listed before October
2022 (although the precise date is yet to be confirmed).
IAG is defending a representative class action that has been filed in the Federal Court of Australia relating to policyholders with
business interruption policies. The representative class action has been adjourned pending conclusion of the test cases.
Goodwill and intangible assets impairment
(cid:4)
The assumptions underpinning the value-in-use calculations used to evaluate the supportability of goodwill and intangible assets
reflect reasonable estimates of the impact of COVID-19 and other economic factors and the increased risks associated with the
estimated cash flows. Whilst there is no impairment in relation to any of the cash-generating units at 30 June 2022, there is a
heightened level of uncertainty around key assumptions in the current environment. This has the potential to materially impact the
value-in-use assessment moving forward and potentially the carrying value of the respective intangible assets and goodwill. Refer
to Note 5.1 for further details on goodwill and intangible assets.
Fair value measurement of investments
(cid:4)
IAG’s investments are designated at fair value through profit and loss, and for the vast majority of the investments, the fair value is
determined based on observable market data. This measurement basis has not changed as a result of COVID-19 and other
economic factors.
Where readily available market data is not available to determine fair value, then a mark-to-model approach is adopted. Judgement
is required in both the selection of the model and inputs used. The investments which are subject to valuation using unobservable
inputs are disclosed in the Group’s fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 2.3 for further details on investments.
NOTE 1.3 SEGMENT REPORTING
IAG has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Group Chief Executive
Officer (being the chief operating decision maker) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
A. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
IAG has general insurance operations in Australia and New Zealand, with the reportable segments for the period ended 30 June
2022 comprising the following business divisions:
I. Direct Insurance Australia
This segment predominantly provides personal lines, and some commercial lines, general insurance products sold directly to
customers primarily under the NRMA Insurance, SGIO and SGIC brands, the RACV brand in Victoria (via a distribution and
underwriting relationship with RACV), as well as the CGU and ROLLiN' brands.
II. Intermediated Insurance Australia
This segment predominantly provides commercial lines, and some personal lines, general insurance products sold to
customers through intermediaries including brokers, authorised representatives and distribution partners primarily under the
CGU and WFI brands, as well as the Coles Insurance brand via a distribution agreement with Coles.
664 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2022
III. New Zealand
This segment provides general insurance products underwritten in New Zealand. Insurance products are sold directly to
customers predominantly under the State and AMI brands, and through intermediaries (insurance brokers and authorised
representatives) primarily using the NZI and Lumley Insurance brands. General insurance products are also distributed by
corporate partners, such as large financial institutions, using third party brands.
IV. Corporate and other
This segment comprises other activities, including corporate services, capital management activity, shareholders’ funds
investment activities, inward reinsurance from associates, investment in associates, and other businesses that offer products
and services that are adjacent to IAG's insurance business. IAG’s captive reinsurance operation (captive) is a corporate
function that acts as the interface between the external providers of reinsurance capital and the operating business divisions.
IAG does not manage, or view, the captive as a separate business. Consequently, the operating results of the captive are
systematically allocated to the operating business segments.

2. INSURANCE DISCLOSURES
SECTION INTRODUCTION
This section provides an overview of IAG's general insurance operations, which are the main driver of IAG's overall financial
performance and financial position.
IAG collects premium and recognises revenue for the insurance policies it underwrites. From this, IAG pays amounts to customers
on settlement of insurance claims, with the claims expense representing the largest cost to IAG, as well as operating costs, which
include the costs associated with obtaining and recording insurance contracts.
To mitigate IAG's overall risk and optimise its return profile, IAG passes some of its underwriting exposure to third parties (primarily
reinsurance companies). The premiums paid to reinsurers are an expense to IAG, whereas recoveries under the reinsurance
contracts are recognised as revenue. These recoveries can either be in relation to operating costs (reinsurance commission) or
underwriting risk (reinsurance recoveries).
Investment activities are an integral part of the insurance business. The funds received from the collection of premium are
invested as a key source of return for IAG under a sound investment philosophy. IAG starts investing insurance premiums as soon
as they are collected and continues to generate returns until claims or other expenses are paid out.
The underwriting result measures the profit (or loss) generated from underwriting activities in a given period. The insurance
result, which is a key performance metric, adds the net investment return to the underwriting result to derive the overall pre-tax
profit (or loss) from insurance operations.

B. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
I. Premium revenue
Premiums written are earned through the profit or loss in line with the incidence of the pattern of risk. The majority of premium is
earned according to the passage of time (e.g. for a one-year policy, 1/365th of premium written will be earned each day).
II. Reinsurance and other recoveries
The recognition and measurement criteria for reinsurance and other recoveries revenue is referred to in Note 2.2.
III. Reinsurance commission revenue
Reinsurance commission revenue includes reimbursements by reinsurers to cover a share of IAG’s operating costs and, where
applicable, fee income which reinsurers pay for accessing IAG's franchise. These income items are recognised broadly in line with
the reference premium over the term of the reinsurance agreements. Where applicable, the reinsurance commission revenue also
includes income which is based on the expected profitability of the covered business ceded to the reinsurer. The final value of the
variable commission revenue recognised is subject to the achievement of a specified underlying profitability hurdle rate over time.
This variable revenue is recognised over the term of the reinsurance contract on a straight-line, or other systematic basis, in
accordance with the terms of the contract, and is reassessed at each reporting date.

The gross outstanding claims liability includes $7,082 million (2021: $7,123 million) which is expected to be settled more than 12
months from the reporting date.
The carrying value of reinsurance and other recoveries includes $3,963 million (2021: $3,943 million) which is expected to be
settled more than 12 months from the reporting date.
a. BUSINESS INTERRUPTION
The total pre-tax provision for business interruption claims associated with COVID-19 was $975 million at 30 June 2022 (2021:
$1,236 million). The reduction includes a $200 million release and a $61 million reduction based on the increase in the yield
curve. Following the Full Court of the Federal Court’s appeal judgment delivered on 21 February 2022 (noted below), the following
factors have been considered in determining the appropriate level of release from the business interruption provision at 30 June
2022:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
the number and nature of the claims received since the second test case; and
analysis of the scope of the judgment and its application.
Extensive scenario testing of the adequacy of the provision has been undertaken during the 2022 financial year. A substantial part
of the provision continues to include a risk margin reflecting the uncertainty of the potential legal outcomes and subsequent claims
that may arise.
On 18 November 2020, the Supreme Court of New South Wales Court of Appeal (NSWCA) delivered its judgment on the first
business interruption insurance test case, which determined pandemic exclusions that refer to the Quarantine Act and subsequent
amendments only, rather than the Biosecurity Act, are not effective to exclude cover for losses associated with COVID-19. On 25
June 2021, the High Court of Australia (HCA) dismissed the insurers' application for special leave to appeal the decision of the
NSWCA.
During the current financial year, a number of developments have emerged. IAG’s exposure in respect of policy exclusions which
reference the Quarantine Act without specific reference to the Biosecurity Act is limited to historical policies only as all new and
renewing policies now include the Biosecurity Act or a broader exclusion.
Even while the first business interruption insurance test case, noted above, was in progress, preparations were underway for a
second business interruption insurance test case. The second business interruption insurance test case was heard by the Federal
Court of Australia in September 2021. On 8 October 2021, the Federal Court of Australia delivered its judgment in the second test
case and found in favour of insurers on a significant number of policy wording questions and for policyholders on other questions.
In November 2021, the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia heard appeals in 5 of the 10 cases in the second test case
(including the 2 IAG cases) and the Full Court delivered its appeal judgment on 21 February 2022. The judgment was mostly
favourable to insurers and upheld many aspects of the Federal Court of Australia’s original decision. The judgment did reverse two
elements of the judgment in one of the IAG cases relating to the treatment of Jobkeeper payments and the calculation of interest.
Special leave applications have been filed in the HCA in 3 of the 5 test cases that were appealed to the Full Court of the Federal
Court of Australia (including the 2 IAG cases). The HCA has now informed the parties that it will conduct an oral hearing to
determine the special leave applications in each of these proceedings and that the oral hearing will not be listed before October
2022 (although the precise date is yet to be confirmed).
IAG is defending a representative class action that has been filed in the Federal Court of Australia relating to policyholders with
business interruption policies. The representative class action has been adjourned pending conclusion of the test cases.

b. TRADE CREDIT INSURANCE
As previously advised, IAG maintains that, through the protections it has put in place, it has no net insurance exposure to trade
credit policies sold through BCC Trade Credit Pty Ltd (BCC).
The complex issues around trade credit claims continue to be managed and defended by Insurance Australia Limited (IAL),
including the litigation arising out of the purported underwriting of Greensill policies by BCC. Claims and litigation by the
administrators of Greensill or other claimants seeking confirmation of policy coverage and/or validity of claims was and is
anticipated and IAG will defend these litigated claims. During the current financial year, four separate proceedings relating to
claims in respect of policies relating to Greensill entities were commenced against IAL in the Federal Court of Australia. The
commencement of litigated claims was an expected risk and IAG anticipates that it will take a number of years to bring these
matters to resolution.
BCC is an underwriting agency that was authorised to underwrite trade credit insurance on IAG’s behalf, in accordance with specific
underwriting guidelines, through IAL, one of IAG’s two licensed insurance subsidiaries in Australia. Trade credit insurance is
designed to protect insured businesses who provide credit terms to their customers. The policies are designed to indemnify for
losses arising from a failure to pay genuine debts owed by customers by covering an agreed percentage of defaults on the payment
of the business’ accounts receivable.
IAL’s 50% interest in BCC was sold to Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co. Ltd (Tokio Marine) with effect from 9 April 2019.
As part of the transaction arrangements put in place to ensure IAG had no net insurance exposure to trade credit policies, BCC
continued to underwrite risks on behalf of IAL to 30 June 2019 with Tokio Marine retaining the ultimate liability for these polices,
and earlier written policies, net of reinsurance. In addition to reinsurance in place in respect of these policies, IAG entered into
agreements with Tokio Marine for it to hold any remaining exposure to trade credit insurance written by BCC on behalf of IAL before
30 June 2019 and is the licensee responsible for BCC’s conduct from 1 July 2019.
IAL ceased underwriting trade credit on 30 June 2019. The IAL trade credit portfolio is in run off with IAL managing existing and
future claims. The existing claims include both claims relating to Greensill entities and claims related to the remainder of the BCC
trade credit portfolio. IAG has revised the outstanding claims liability to $477 million at 30 June 2022 (2021: $437 million) mainly
due to recognition of claims handling expenses, with the majority relating to expected legal costs associated with claims notified,
along with an assessment of existing claims following the receipt of additional claim information and an assessment of a number of
new claims lodged during the year relating to the BCC portfolio. This has been determined in accordance with IAG's usual claims
reserving practices, which takes into account an assessment of the validity of claims. IAG has also recognised $477 million (2021:
$437 million) of related reinsurance recoveries and indemnities in respect of trade credit related claims although a reinsurer may
challenge its obligations with respect to any claim exposures.

III. Maturity analysis
Refer to Note 3.1 for details of the maturity profile of the estimated net discounted outstanding claims liability based on the
remaining term to payment at the reporting date.
IV. Development table
Claims will often take a number of years to be settled from the date the original loss occurred. The following table shows the
development of the net undiscounted ultimate claims estimate for the ten most recent accident years and a reconciliation to the
net discounted outstanding claims liability. This table provides the user with an overview of how IAG's estimates of total claim
amounts payable in relation to a given year have evolved over time. If the estimate of ultimate claims in relation to a given
accident year declines over time, this suggests claims have developed more favourably than was anticipated at the time the original
reserving assumptions were set.
Where an entity or business that includes an outstanding claims liability has been acquired, the claims for the acquired businesses
are included in the claims development table from and including the year of acquisition. The outstanding claims liability includes
international operations. For ease of comparison within the claims development table, all payments not denominated in Australian
dollars have been converted to Australian dollars using the applicable exchange rates at the reporting dates. Therefore, the claims
development table disclosed each reporting year cannot be reconciled directly to the equivalent tables presented in previous years'
financial statements.

C. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
I. Outstanding claims liability and claims expense
Claims expense represents the sum of claim payments and the movement in the closing outstanding claims liability from one
financial period to the next. Current year claims relate to loss events that occurred during the current financial year. Prior year
claims represent the movement on the estimates held for claims that occurred in all previous financial periods.
The outstanding claims liability is determined based on three building blocks:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
a central estimate of the future cash flows;
discounting for the effect of the time value of money; and
adding a risk margin for uncertainty.
a. CENTRAL ESTIMATE OF THE FUTURE CASH FLOWS
The outstanding claims liability is measured as the central estimate of the expected future payments relating to claims incurred
prior to the reporting date including direct and indirect claims handling costs. The liability is measured based on the advice and/or
valuations performed by, or under the direction of, the Appointed Actuary, and is intended to contain no deliberate or conscious
bias toward over or under-estimation. Given the uncertainty in establishing the liability, it is likely that the final outcome will differ
from the original liability established. Changes in claim estimates are recognised in profit or loss in the reporting year in which the
estimates are changed.
b. DISCOUNTING
Projected future claim payments, both gross and net of reinsurance and other recoveries and associated claims handling costs, are
discounted to a present value using risk-free discount rates (derived from market yields on government securities) to reflect the
time value of money.
c. RISK MARGIN
Given the uncertainty inherent in estimating future claim payments, it is considered appropriate to add a risk margin to the central
estimate of expected future claim payments. The risk margin represents the amount by which the liability recognised in the
financial statements is greater than the actuarial central estimate. IAG currently applies a 90% probability of adequacy to the
outstanding claims liability. In effect this means there is approximately a 1-in-10 chance all future claim payments will exceed the
overall reserve held.
Uncertainties surrounding the liability estimation process include those relating to the available data, actuarial models and
assumptions, the statistical uncertainty associated with a general insurance claims run-off process, and risks external to IAG, for
example the impact of potential future legislative reform. Uncertainty from these sources is examined for each class of business
and expressed as a volatility measure relative to the net central estimate. The volatility measure for each class is derived after
consideration of statistical modelling and benchmarking to industry analyses. Certain product classes may be subject to the
emergence of new types of latent claims, and such uncertainties are considered when setting the volatility and hence the risk
margin appropriate for those classes.
Long-tail classes of business generally have the highest volatilities for outstanding claims as the longer average time for claims to
be reported and settled allows more time for sources of uncertainty to emerge. Short-tail classes generally have lower levels of
volatility for outstanding claims.
IAG benefits from holding an underwriting portfolio diversified into many classes of business across different regions. The risk
margin required to provide a given probability of adequacy for two or more classes of business or for two or more geographic
locations combined is likely to be less than the sum of risk margins for the individual classes. This reflects the benefit of
diversification. The level of diversification assumed between classes takes into account industry analysis, historical experience and
the judgement of experienced and qualified actuaries.
The current risk margin and resultant overall probability of adequacy for the outstanding claims, which has been determined after
assessing the inherent uncertainty in the central estimate, diversification and risks in the prevailing environment, is set out below:

II. Reinsurance and other recoveries on outstanding claims
Reinsurance and other recoveries on outstanding claims are recognised as income with the corresponding asset being recognised
on the balance sheet. Reinsurance and other recoveries on outstanding claims are measured at the present value (discounted
using appropriate risk-free discount rates) of the expected future receipts due as a result of the reinsurance protection that IAG has
in place. The reporting date balance also includes the net goods and services tax (GST) receivable on outstanding claims.

The estimation of the outstanding claims liability involves a number of key assumptions and is the most critical accounting
estimate. The process involves using IAG's specific data, relevant industry data and general economic data. Each class of business
is usually examined separately, and the process involves consideration of a large number of factors, including the risks to which the
business is exposed at a point in time, claim frequencies and average claim sizes, historical trends in the incidence and
development of claims reported and finalised, as well as legal, social and economic factors that may affect each class of business.
The following ranges of key actuarial assumptions were used in the measurement of outstanding claims and recoveries, where
appropriate, within the operating segments at the reporting date.

a. DISCOUNTED AVERAGE TERM TO SETTLEMENT
The discounted average term to settlement provides a summary indication of the expected future cash flow pattern for claims
(inflated and discounted). It is calculated by class of business and is generally based on historical settlement patterns. A decrease
in the discounted average term to settlement would reflect claims being paid sooner than anticipated and so would increase the
claims expense. Note that this sensitivity test only extends or shortens the term of the payments assumed in the valuation, without
changing the total nominal amount of the payments.
b. INFLATION RATE AND SUPERIMPOSED INFLATION
Payments of claims outstanding at the reporting date are to be made in the future and so need to take account of expected
increases in the underlying cost of final claim settlements due to inflationary pressures. Economic inflation assumptions are set by
reference to current economic indicators. Superimposed inflation tends to occur due to wider societal trends such as the cost of
court settlements increasing at a faster rate than the economic inflation rate.
c. DISCOUNT RATE
An increase or decrease in the assumed discount rate will have a corresponding decrease or increase (respectively) on the claims
expense recognised in the profit or loss.
d. CLAIMS HANDLING COSTS RATIO
This reflects the cost to administer future claims. The ratio is generally calculated with reference to the historical experience of
claims handling costs as a percentage of past payments, together with budgeted future costs.
II. Reinsurance and other recoveries on outstanding claims
The measurement of reinsurance and other recoveries on outstanding claims is an inherently uncertain process involving
estimates. The amounts are generally calculated using actuarial assumptions and methods similar to those used for the
outstanding claims liability, with appropriate consideration of the credit risk of the counterparty. Accordingly, the valuation of
outstanding reinsurance recoveries is subject to largely similar risks and uncertainties as the valuation of the related outstanding
claims liability. Significant individual losses, for example those relating to catastrophe events, are analysed on a case-by-case
basis.

E. SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
The impact on the divisional net outstanding claims liabilities (net of reinsurance recoveries) before income tax to changes in key
actuarial assumptions is summarised below. Each change has been calculated in isolation of the other changes, and without
regard to other balance sheet changes that may occur simultaneously. The movements are stated in absolute terms where the
base assumption is a percentage or average term.

72 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2022
C. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Investment revenue is brought to account on an accruals basis. Revenue on investments in equity securities and property trusts is
deemed to accrue on the date the dividends/distributions are declared, which for listed equity securities is deemed to be the ex-
dividend date.
Investments comprise assets held to back insurance liabilities (policyholder funds that represent assets available for future
settlement of outstanding claims) and assets that represent shareholders' funds. The investment funds themselves are
predominantly generated from the collection of insurance premiums. The allocation of investments between policyholder funds
and shareholders' funds is regularly monitored and the portfolio rebalanced accordingly. To determine the allocation, IAG’s
investment funds under management are compared to the technical provisions of IAG, which include insurance liabilities. The
policyholder funds are allocated to back the technical provisions, with the excess representing shareholders' funds.
All investments are designated at fair value through profit or loss. Investments are recorded and subsequently remeasured to fair
value at each reporting date. Changes in the fair value are recognised as realised or unrealised investment gains or losses in profit
or loss. IAG recognises transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels (described below) as at the end of the
reporting year. Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on a trade date basis, being the date on which a commitment is
made to purchase or sell the asset. Transaction costs for purchases of investments are expensed as incurred. Investments are
derecognised when the rights to receive future cash flows from the assets have expired, or have been transferred, and substantially
all the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred.
The inputs used to determine the fair value for securities recognised under each level of the fair value hierarchy is set out below.
I. Level 1 quoted prices
The fair value is determined by reference to quoted prices (mid-market) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. For
IAG, this category includes cash and short-term discount securities, government securities and listed equities.
II. Level 2 other observable inputs
The fair value is determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or by reference to other
significant inputs that are not quoted prices but are based on observable market data, for example interest rate yield curves
observable at commonly quoted intervals. The valuation techniques may include the use of discounted cash flow analysis, option
pricing models and other market accepted valuation models. For IAG, this category primarily includes corporate and other fixed
interest securities where the market is considered to be lacking sufficient depth to be considered active. There have been no
significant transfers
between Level 1 and Level 2 during the current and prior financial periods.
III. Level 3 unobservable inputs
The fair value is determined using valuation techniques in which a number of the significant inputs are not based on observable
market data. Level 3 investments are primarily invested in interest-bearing instruments and unlisted equity, held via unlisted
trusts. The fair value of these unlisted trusts is based on the net asset value as advised by the external investment manager of
these funds who has responsibility for the valuation of the underlying securities. The investment manager may use various
valuation techniques in the determination of fair value based on a range of internal, external and third party inputs where available.
The fair value of the directly held unlisted equity is based on a methodology leveraging inputs relating to the latest capital
transactions executed by the respective companies. This category also includes IAG's unlisted equity interest in Bohai Property
Insurance Company Limited (Bohai). The fair value of Bohai is supported by comparable industry transaction multiples observed in
the local market. During the current financial year, in addition to changes in fair value, movements in level 3 investments included:
purchases of $89 million (2021: $4 million) and sales of $107 million (2021: $17 million) in interest-bearing instruments;
(cid:4)
purchases of $44 million (2021: $77 million) in unlisted equity with $153 million sales in the current financial year (2021:
(cid:4)
$124 million); and
there have been no significant transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 during the current and prior financial periods.

The carrying value of unearned premium liability includes $39 million (2021: $45 million) which is expected to be earned more than
12 months from the reporting date.
B. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Unearned premium is the portion of premium income that has yet to be recognised in the profit or loss (i.e. unexpired portion for
risks underwritten) and is calculated based on the term of the risk and in accordance with the expected pattern of the incidence of
risk underwritten, using an appropriate pro-rata method.
C. ADEQUACY OF UNEARNED PREMIUM LIABILITY
I. Liability adequacy test (LAT)
The LAT assesses the adequacy of the carrying amount of the net unearned premium liability to settle future claims. To determine
if any deficiency exists, estimates of future claim costs (premium liabilities net of reinsurance) are compared to the unearned
premium liability (net of reinsurance and related deferred acquisition costs). If the future claim costs exceed the net premium
liabilities, then a deficiency exists. Any deficiency is recognised immediately in profit or loss, with the corresponding impact on the
balance sheet recognised first through the write-down of deferred acquisition costs for the relevant portfolio of contracts and then
through the establishment of a provision (unexpired risk liability).
The LAT is required to be conducted at the level of a portfolio of contracts that are subject to broadly similar risks and that are
managed together as a single portfolio. IAG defines 'broadly similar risks' at a level where policies are affected by one or more
common risk factors, including natural peril events, general weather conditions, economic conditions, inflationary movements,
legal and regulatory changes as well as legislative reforms, reinsurance cost changes and variation in other input costs. IAG
defines 'managed together' at a segment level as the respective divisional CEOs collectively manage the entire portfolio within their
control. The LAT is currently performed at the segment level for Direct Insurance Australia, Intermediated Insurance Australia and
New Zealand.
The LAT at reporting date resulted in a surplus (2021: surplus), with the table below providing details of the net premium liabilities
(net of reinsurance and adjusted for appropriate risk margin) used in the LAT:

II. Significant accounting estimates and judgements
The LAT is conducted using the central estimate of the premium liabilities, applying a methodology consistent for reporting to APRA,
which requires an estimation of the present value of future net cash flows (relating to future claims arising from the rights and
obligations under current general insurance contracts) and adjusted for an appropriate risk margin for uncertainty in the central
estimate for each portfolio of contracts. The test is based on prospective information and so is heavily dependent on assumptions
and judgements.
The risk margin used in the LAT for individual portfolios is calculated by using a probability of adequacy (POA) methodology including
diversification benefit, which is consistent with that used for the determination of the risk margin for the outstanding claims
liability, based on assessments of the levels of risk in each portfolio. The 60% POA represented by the LAT differs from the 90%
POA represented by the outstanding claims liability as the former is in effect an impairment test used only to test the sufficiency of
net unearned premium liabilities, whereas the latter is a measurement accounting policy used in determining the carrying value of
the outstanding claims liability. The process used to determine the risk margin, including the way in which diversification of risks
has been allowed for, is explained in Note 2.2.

The carrying value of deferred acquisition costs includes $1 million (2021: $3 million) which is expected to be amortised more than 12 months from reporting date.
The carrying value of deferred outwards reinsurance expense includes $41 million (2021: $49 million) which is expected to be amortised more than 12 months from
reporting date.
B. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
I. Acquisition costs
Acquisition costs are incurred in obtaining and recording general insurance contracts, which include advertising expenses,
commission or brokerage paid to agents or brokers, premium collection costs, risk assessment costs and other administrative
costs. These costs are initially capitalised and then expensed in line with the earning pattern of the related premium. Deferred
acquisition costs at the reporting date represent the acquisition costs relating to unearned premium.
II. Outwards reinsurance expense
Premium ceded to reinsurers is recognised as an expense in accordance with the pattern of reinsurance service received. The
outwards reinsurance premium relating to unearned premium is treated as a prepayment at the reporting date.

Receivables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled between 30 days and 12 months. The balance has not been discounted as the time value of money
effect is not material. The net carrying amount of receivables is a reasonable approximation of the fair value of the assets due to the short-term nature of the assets.
B. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Trade and other receivables are measured at amortised cost reflecting the net recoverable amounts inclusive of GST. The amounts
are discounted where the time value of money effect is material.
On initial recognition of trade and other receivables an assessment of lifetime expected credit losses is performed based on
historical credit loss experience adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
Amounts are then provided for where required with the impairment charge recognised in profit or loss. These lifetime expected
credit losses are then assessed on an ongoing basis. Balances are written-off when IAG has stopped pursuing the recovery. If the
amount to be written-off is greater than the amount provided for, the difference will first be treated as an increase in the provision
that is applied against the gross carrying amount. Any subsequent recoveries are credited to profit or loss. The receivables that
were written-off during the reporting period were insignificant, and therefore there has been no change to the provision for
expected credit losses associated with trade and other receivables. Receivables from insurance and reinsurance contracts are not
required to be assessed for expected credit losses under AASB 9, however amounts are provided for where appropriate. Refer to
Note 3.1 for further details.

IAG has a right of offset and settles on a net basis under the 20% quota share agreement with National Indemnity Company, a Berkshire Hathaway (BH) company, and
under the combined 12.5% quota share agreements with Munich Re, Swiss Re and Hannover Re. This balance includes reinsurance premium payable to BH of $1,316
million (2021: $1,257 million) and the combined 12.5% quota share agreement counterparties of $833 million (2021: $795 million), which have been offset with
receivables due from BH of $805 million (2021: $760 million) and the combined 12.5% quota share agreement counterparties of $462 million (2021: $419 million),
respectively. The relevant cash flows pertaining to the contracts have been presented on a gross basis within the cash flow statement.
Trade and other payables are unsecured, non-interest bearing and are normally settled within 30 days to 12 months. Amounts have not been discounted because the
time value of money effect is not material. The carrying amount of payables is a reasonable approximation of the fair value of the liabilities because of the short- term
nature of the liabilities.
Prior year comparatives have been re-presented to disclose separately other indirect taxes and levies payable.
B. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Trade and other payables are stated at the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received,
inclusive of GST. The amounts are discounted where the time value of money effect is material.
3. RISK
SECTION INTRODUCTION
This section provides an overview of IAG's approach to risk and capital management.
IAG is exposed to multiple risks relating to the conduct of its business. IAG does not seek to avoid all risks, but rather to assess
them in a systematic, structured and timely manner against IAG’s Risk Appetite Statement, delegations, authorities and limits, and
seeks to manage them appropriately in alignment with IAG's strategy. Risk management arrangements are designed to reflect the
scope, scale and complexity of IAG's activities, and where appropriate, capital is held to support these activities.
Strategic
Organisational conduct and customer
Insurance
Reinsurance
IAG uses an enterprise-wide approach to risk that includes the following risk classes:

Capital
Operational
Regulatory and compliance
The risk classes, their definition and structured arrangements for their management are included in IAG's Risk Management
Strategy (RMS). Risks rarely exist, nor should be considered, in isolation. The interconnectivity of IAG's material risks is
understood and managed. Key risks and their potential impact, likelihood, interconnectedness and velocity are considered in
IAG's Enterprise Risk Profile (ERP).
76 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2022
NOTE 3.1 RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
A. RISK MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW
The Board has responsibility for setting the risk appetite within which it expects management to operate and approves IAG’s Risk
Appetite Statement and Risk Management Strategy (RMS). The Risk Committee assists the Board to discharge its risk
management and compliance responsibilities, oversight of risk management, oversight of the implementation and operation of the
Group’s risk management and governance frameworks and provides advice to the Executives and Board. The Risk Committee also
monitors the effectiveness of the Risk Management function. The Group Chief Risk Officer (CRO) oversees risk management
practices across IAG. The Group CRO is supported by the Group Risk Function and by other subject matter experts including the
Chief Actuary, Chief Underwriting Officer and EGM Capital Markets. The Group CRO provides regular reports to the Risk Committee
on the operation of the Risk Management Framework (RMF), the status of material risks, the control environment, risk and
compliance events and issues and risk framework changes.
The RMF is in place to assist the Board and Executives in managing risk. The RMF is the totality of systems, structures, policies,
processes and people within IAG that identify, measure, evaluate, monitor, report and control or mitigate all internal and external
sources of material risk. The RMF supports management by:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
providing a consistent, structured approach to identifying and managing risk across the Group;
having appropriate policies, procedures and controls in place to effectively manage risks;
providing meaningful reporting to the Board to make informed business decisions;
ensuring adequate oversight of the risk profile; and
facilitating a strong risk culture.
IAG's documented RMS describes the group-wide RMF and how it is implemented, including risk appetite (i.e. the levels, boundaries
and nature of risk the organisation is willing to accept), the risk classes used, the major risk management processes, and the roles
and responsibilities for managing risk. The RMS is a Board-approved document which directly supports the Group’s strategic
intent, purpose, values and business sustainability activities. IAG uses Group policies and other supporting documents to help
ensure the risk management requirements are clear across IAG. The RMS must be adhered to, along with the legal, regulatory and
prudential requirements in all countries in which the organisation has operations.
Other key documents within IAG include:
(cid:4)
Reinsurance Management Strategy (ReMS), which describes the systems, structures, and processes which collectively ensure
IAG's reinsurance arrangements and operations are prudently managed;
Group Risk Appetite Statement (RAS), which articulates the levels, boundaries and nature of risk the Board is willing to accept
in pursuit of IAG's strategic objectives;
Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) Summary Statement, which summarises IAG's risk assessment
processes for capital management and describes the strategy for maintaining adequate capital over time;
Group Crisis Management Plan which minimises business impact and loss in the event of a significant incident by providing a
clear and organised response strategy supported by pre-defined response procedures; and
a Recovery Plan, which provides guidance on how IAG might be restored to a sound financial condition following severe
financial stress.
The definitions of the risk classes and related mitigation strategies are set out in the subsequent sections.
Climate change
IAG, through its operations, is exposed to the impacts of natural peril events including cyclones, wind, hail, floods, and fire which
are inherently unpredictable with regards to frequency and severity. There is a risk that the frequency and/or the severity of such
events may continue to increase over time due to climate change. Claims arising out of such natural peril events can be
substantial and can adversely affect the Group's financial performance. Reinsurance and underwriting standards are used by the
Group to mitigate the potential claims cost arising from natural peril events.
COVID-19 and other issues
The financial and social impacts of COVID-19 have the potential to impact IAG and its stakeholders. As the impacts of the virus and
associated responses evolve, so too will the associated risks and IAG is committed to appropriately managing those risks at all
levels.
Some of the key specific risks and IAG’s response to them are as follows:
(cid:4)
COVID-19 impacts on the broader economy continue to be monitored and their impacts on IAG managed. Both the Australian
and New Zealand (NZ) economies have proven to be resilient, however there are several influences that may continue to cause
uncertainty. As the global economy recovers from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, global economies are experiencing
the rapid emergence of higher inflation and increasing interest rates. This is expected to impact claims and operating costs,
investment returns and premiums charged to customers, and is being monitored closely.
There is the potential for financial losses related to business interruption insurance in Australia (refer to Note 2.2 for details of
the related provision).
The conflict in Ukraine has led to changes in the sanctions landscape, and IAG has been able to respond effectively, following
our upgraded sanctions monitoring system which was put in place in 2021.
Capital and market risk – At 30 June 2022, IAG had a CET1 multiple of 0.97 (2021: 1.06) and a PCA multiple of 1.80 (2021:
1.86). COVID-19 has given rise to increased levels of market volatility and credit risk (both in the investment portfolio and with
our customers and suppliers) that has required a more active capital monitoring approach. Initiatives to achieve this include
more frequent assessments of capital adequacy to account for larger, and more rapid, investment market movements and
further capital stress testing against COVID-19-related risks. Capital levels will continue to be very closely monitored.

Regulatory risk – Regulators have been closely engaged on IAG's response to COVID-19. Sector-wide regulatory engagement
has also increased, particularly around operational resilience, capital management and dividend policy, and customer impacts.
IAG is engaging with its regulators regularly and will continue its aligned and proactive approach to supporting customers,
business resilience and continuity measures.
Insurance risk – Refer to the COVID-19 related disclosures provided in Note 1.2.
Operational risk – IAG has implemented a hybrid model of working from an office-based work environment as the COVID-19
environment normalises. The shift to a hybrid model changes the profile of certain risks, including managing employee
expectations for flexible working, retaining talent in a tight labour market and ongoing employee health and wellbeing. These
risks are well understood and policies are in place to manage and mitigate them.
B. STRATEGIC RISK
Strategic risk is defined as the risk that internal or external factors disrupt the assumptions underpinning IAG’s strategy or
compromise our ability to set and execute an appropriate strategy.
Strategic risk is managed by the Group Leadership Team with Board oversight. Key elements that support the management of
strategic risk include a rigorous approach to identifying and evaluating key strategic risks and having this process integrated with
the Group’s strategic planning program, with management and Board reporting forming part of our ongoing monitoring
mechanisms. IAG implements active portfolio management of its insurance operations. This involves robust and regular review of
the portfolios that leads to informed decisions on the allocation of assets in the most efficient and value-accretive way in order to
achieve IAG's strategic objectives. Consideration of both current and future value is critical in the process. Portfolio management
can involve the acquisition or divestment of other entities, for which IAG has implemented a merger and acquisitions framework to
help ensure the associated risks are appropriately managed. Strategic risk mitigation is further enhanced by the accountabilities of
the Strategy, Innovation and Underwriting function. This function ensures IAG is accessing data-driven customer insights and
reacting to such through the innovation of products and services.
C. ORGANISATIONAL CONDUCT AND CUSTOMER RISK
Organisational conduct and customer risk (OCCR) is defined as the risk of behaviour or action taken by entities and employees
associated with IAG that may have negative outcomes for IAG's customers, staff, communities, and markets in which IAG operates.
It includes the risk that products are designed, priced, distributed and managed in a way that does not meet the reasonable needs
and objectives of customers.
IAG recognises that by not effectively managing OCCR there can be significant ramifications for stakeholders including employees,
officers, directors, customers, clients, operational partners (including outsourced partners), shareholders, the community,
government (including at a local, state and federal level), and/or the financial services industry. Impacts include loss of reputation,
trust, eroded financial performance and poor customer outcomes. These risks include, but are not limited to, the failure to either
identify or remediate issues in a timely manner and failure to adequately protect sensitive customer information.
IAG is committed to managing OCCR with the aim of meeting the reasonable needs and objectives of customers and achieving its
purpose to 'make your world a safer place for our customers'. As part of our operations, IAG has committed to meet all applicable
industry codes. The IAG Consumer Advisory Board is a dedicated forum that encourages open discussion on priorities identified by
consumer representatives, and by IAG. The forum provides information and support to foster a deeper understanding of consumer
issues and challenges concerning general insurance.
The Group Customer Equity Steering Committee is a cross divisional forum designed to oversee the implementation of the
Customer Equity Program and Group Customer Equity Framework.
D. INSURANCE RISK
Insurance risk is the risk of unintended financial loss as a result of:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
inadequate or inappropriate underwriting or product design and pricing;
unforeseen, unknown or unintended liabilities that may eventuate;
inadequate or inappropriate claims management including reserving; and
insurance concentration risk (i.e. by locality, segment factor, or distribution).
A fundamental part of IAG's overall risk management approach is the effective governance and management of the risks that affect
the amount, timing and certainty of cash flows arising from insurance contracts. The level of insurance risk accepted by IAG is
formally documented in its Business Division Licences, which are issued to each operating division. The Business Division Licence
is prepared by the Group Chief Underwriting Officer in consultation with the customer-facing divisions and is approved by the Group
CEO. The Business Division Licences are reviewed annually or more frequently if required. In addition to Business Division
Licences, insurance risk is also managed through the implementation of the Insurance Risk Framework and supporting Insurance
Risk Standard.
I. Acceptance and pricing of risk
IAG focusses on the sustainability of its underwriting risk profile, rather than a premium volume or market share oriented approach.
IAG believes this approach provides the greatest long-term likelihood of being able to meet the objectives of all stakeholders,
including policyholders, regulators and shareholders. Underwriting and pricing expertise, coupled with data and analytics capability,
allow IAG to underwrite policies in the context of its risk appetite.
The underwriting by IAG of large numbers of less than fully correlated individual risks, predominantly short-tail business, across a
range of classes of insurance business in different regions reduces the variability in overall claims experience over time. A risk still
remains that the actual amount of claims paid is different to the amount estimated at the time an insurance product was designed
and priced. IAG's claims management and provisioning, reinsurance and capital management further mitigate the impact of this
risk.
778 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2022
As referenced above, business divisions are required to underwrite within set criteria as outlined in the Business Division Licence.
Maximum limits are set for the acceptance of risk both on an individual insurance contract basis and for classes of business and
specific risk groupings.
Management information systems are maintained to provide up-to-date, reliable data on the risks to which the business is exposed.
Statistical models that combine historical and projected data (pricing, claims and market conditions) are used to calculate
premiums and monitor claim patterns for each class of business.
II. Claims management and provisioning
Once an incident has occurred, initial claim estimates are managed by claims officers with the requisite degree of experience and
competence with the assistance, where appropriate, of a loss adjustor or other party with specialist knowledge of specific incidents.
These case estimates are used to form part of the basis of the claim provisions. It is IAG's intention to respond to and settle all
valid claims quickly whenever possible and to pay claims fairly, based on policyholders' full entitlements.
Claim provisions are established using actuarial valuation models, including a risk margin to cover inherent uncertainty in the
ultimate cost of claims, aimed at ensuring adequate capital is allocated to settle claims that have occurred. Refer to Note 2.2 for
further details.
III. Concentrations of insurance risk
Each year IAG sets its tolerance for concentration risk through the use of various models to estimate its maximum exposure to
potential natural disasters and other catastrophes. IAG mitigates its exposure to concentrations of insurance risk by holding a
portfolio diversified into many classes of business across different regions and by the utilisation of reinsurance, taking into account
the cost of reinsurance and capital efficiency. The catastrophe reinsurance cover protects IAG's capital by limiting its financial
exposure to a single severe event as well as frequency of medium sized events. The catastrophe reinsurance cover purchased
affects the Insurance Concentration Risk Charge (ICRC) in the APRA capital calculation.
Concentration risk is particularly relevant in the case of catastrophes, usually natural disasters including earthquakes, bushfires,
hailstorms, tropical storms and high winds, which generally result in a concentration of policyholders being impacted by the same
event. This aggregation of multiple claims arising from a single event creates the most material insurance loss potential in the
Group. IAG is also exposed to certain large man-made catastrophic events such as industrial accidents and building fires.
Catastrophe losses are an inherent risk of the general insurance industry that contribute to potentially material year-to-year
fluctuations in the results of operations and financial position. The nature and level of catastrophes in any period cannot be
predicted accurately but can be estimated through the utilisation of predictive models. IAG actively monitors its aggregate
exposure to catastrophe losses in all regions and limits exposure in regions that are subject to high levels of natural perils. Specific
processes for monitoring identified key concentrations are set out below:
RISK
An accumulation of risks arising from a
natural peril/catastrophe
SOURCE OF CONCENTRATION
Insured property concentrations
RISK MANAGEMENT MEASURES
Accumulation risk modelling and
reinsurance protection
A large property loss
Fire or accident affecting one building or a
group of adjacent buildings
Maximum per risk acceptance limits,
property risk grading and reinsurance
protection
Multiple liability retentions being
involved in the same event
Response by a multitude of policies to the
one event
Purchase of reinsurance clash protection
The table below provides an analysis of gross written premium from continuing operations by both region and product, which
demonstrates the diversity of IAG's operations and its relatively limited exposure to additional risks associated with long-tail classes
of business (where there is increased uncertainty of the ultimate cost of claims due to the additional period of time to settlement):

E. REINSURANCE RISK
Reinsurance risk is the risk of financial loss as a result of:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
lack of capacity in the reinsurance market;
insufficient or inappropriate reinsurance coverage;
inadequate underwriting and/or pricing of reinsurance exposures retained by IAG’s reinsurance captives;
inadequate or inappropriate reinsurance recovery management;
reinsurance arrangements not being legally binding; and
reinsurance concentration.
IAG's reinsurance program is an important part of its overall approach to risk and capital management. It is used to limit exposure
to large single claims as well as an accumulation of claims that arise from the same or similar events in order to stabilise earnings
and protect capital resources. The Reinsurance Management Strategy outlines IAG's reinsurance principles, including the
requirement that reinsurance retention for catastrophe must not exceed 4% of gross earned premium.
In practice IAG purchases catastrophe reinsurance protection to at least the greater of:
(cid:4)
APRA’s prescribed minimum approach of 1-in-200 year return period loss calculated on a whole-of-portfolio, all perils basis in
Australia;
a 1-in-250 year return period for earthquake loss calculated on a whole-of-portfolio, earthquake only basis in Australia; and
a 1-in-1000 year return period for earthquake loss calculated on a whole-of-portfolio, earthquake only basis in New Zealand.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
Catastrophe model output is not the sole determinant of the amount of reinsurance purchased. Other factors such as loss
experience, anticipated portfolio changes and the market pricing of reinsurance are also considered.
Dynamic financial analysis modelling is used to determine the optimal level at which reinsurance should be purchased for capital
efficiency, compared with the cost and benefits of covers available in the reinsurance market.
The amount of reinsurance purchased is determined by reference to the modelled Probable Maximum Loss (PML). Natural perils
are inherently uncertain, which presents model risk. As a result, the loss from an actual event could exceed the modelled PML.
To facilitate the reinsurance process, manage counterparty exposure and create economies of scale, IAG has established a
centralised reinsurance model across its operations. This is via a reinsurance department (or virtual captive) in Australia, referred
to as IAG Reinsurance. IAG Reinsurance acts as the interface between the external providers of reinsurance capital and the
operating business divisions.
The use of reinsurance introduces credit risk. The management of credit risk includes the monitoring of reinsurers’ credit ratings
and controlling total exposures to limit counterparty default risk which is further explained in the financial risk section. IAG adopts
a sound underwriting approach to the reinsurance program through the expertise provided by IAG Reinsurance. Retained
exposures sit within the Board risk appetite and appropriate capital is maintained.
I. Current reinsurance program
The external reinsurance program consists of a combination of the following reinsurance arrangements:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
32.5% whole-of-account quota share arrangements;
a Group catastrophe reinsurance protection that runs to a calendar year and operates on an excess of loss basis, with IAG
retaining the first $250 million ($169 million post-quota share) of each loss. It covers all territories in which IAG operates. The
limit of catastrophe cover purchased effective 1 January 2022 was $9.75 billion placed to 67.5% (i.e. net of the whole-of-
account quota share). Should a loss event occur that is greater than $10 billion, IAG could potentially incur a net loss greater
than the retention stated above. IAG holds capital to mitigate the impact of this possibility;
aggregate sideways covers that protect against a frequency of attritional event losses and operates below the Group
catastrophe cover;
excess of loss reinsurances which provide 'per risk' protection for the commercial property and engineering businesses;
excess of loss reinsurance for all casualty portfolios including Compulsory Third Party (CTP), public liability, professional
indemnity directors and officers, workers’ compensation and home owners warranty products;
quota share reinsurance protection for cyber;
excess of loss reinsurance for all marine portfolios;
quota share and stop loss reinsurance for crop;
adverse development cover (ADC) and quota share protection for the CTP portfolio;
ADC for the February 2011 Canterbury earthquake event; and
ADC for policies issued prior to 31 December 2015 covering IAG’s exposure to claims arising from legacy general liability
and/or workers’ compensation/employer's liability policies, primarily related to asbestos.

F. MARKET, CREDIT, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RISK
Key aspects of the processes established by IAG to monitor and mitigate these risks include:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4) monthly stress testing which is undertaken to estimate the impact of adverse market movements;
(cid:4) maintenance of an approved Group Credit Risk Policy, Group Liquidity Policy, Group Foreign Exchange Policy and Group
reporting to the Board Risk and Audit Committees with Non-Executive Directors as members;
the Group Leadership Team Risk Committee comprising of all Group Executives;
the Asset and Liability Committee (ALCo) comprising key Executives with relevant oversight responsibilities;
value-at-risk analysis and position limits which are regularly monitored;
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
Investment Policy;
Board-approved Strategic Asset Allocation setting out the overall structure of the investment strategy – asset classes, ranges
on asset class exposures and broad limits on active management such as duration limits;
capital management activities – for further details refer to the capital management section (IV) of this note; and
implementation of a Derivatives Risk Management Statement that considers the controls in the use of derivatives and sets out
the permissible use of derivatives in relation to investment strategies.
I. Market risk
Market risk is defined as the risk of adverse movements in market prices (equities, derivatives, interest rates, foreign exchange,
etc) or inappropriate concentration within the investment funds.
a. FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
IAG operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk from various activities conducted in the normal course of
business. Foreign exchange exposure is managed by the IAG Capital Markets function.
The key foreign exchange risk exposures arise from the fluctuation in spot exchange rates between the items denominated in
currency other than the Group's functional currency (Australian dollar), which causes the amount of the items to vary. Mitigation
strategies are set out below:
EXPOSURE
Net investment in foreign operations that have a functional currency other than the
Australian dollar (translation of financial position recognised directly in equity and
translation of financial performance recognised in profit or loss).
RISK MANAGEMENT MEASURES
Designated hedging instruments – forward
foreign exchange contracts (derivatives).
Interest bearing liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Australian dollar.Some are designated as hedging instruments
Insurance liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Australian dollar
(directly recognised in profit or loss).
Investments denominated in currencies other than the Australian dollar (directly
recognised in profit or loss).
where the currency matches the functional
currency of investments in foreign
operations.
Some assets backing technical reserves are
held in the same currency as the related
insurance liabilities, mitigating any net
foreign exchange exposure.
Designated economic hedging instruments –
forward foreign exchange contracts
(derivatives).
When all relevant criteria are met, the designated hedging instruments noted above will effectively reduce the impact of foreign
exchange gains and losses recorded in the foreign currency translation reserve during the period. The Group maintained a policy of
targeting between 50% and 100% of the foreign exchange risk exposures associated with its investment in Malaysia through
designated hedging instruments. For the foreign exchange risk on its investment portfolio, the Group adopts a policy to target a
100% economic hedge (Refer to Note 4.5 for further details on hedge accounting).
The table below provides information regarding the impact on the measurement of net investments in foreign operations held at
reporting date of an instantaneous 10% depreciation of the Australian dollar compared with selected currencies on equity, net of
related derivatives. An appreciation of the Australian dollar would broadly have the opposite impact.

b. PRICE RISK
IAG has exposure to equity price risk through its investments in equities (both directly and through certain trusts), debt/equity
hybrids, hedge funds and the use of derivative contracts. The impact on the measurement of the investments held at reporting
date of a change in broad equity markets by +10% or -10% on profit before tax, net of related derivatives, is shown in the table
below:

Investments in equities, debt/equity hybrids, trust securities and related equity derivatives are all measured at fair value through
profit or loss. There is no direct impact of a change in market prices on equity.
c. INTEREST RATE RISK
Fixed interest rate assets and liabilities are exposed to changes in market value derived from mark-to-market revaluations.
Financial assets and liabilities with floating interest rates create cash flow variability.
IAG's interest rate risk arises primarily from fluctuations in the valuation of investments in fixed interest-bearing securities
recognised at fair value and from the underwriting of general insurance contracts, which creates exposure to the risk that interest
rate movements materially impact the present value of the insurance liabilities (the insurance liabilities are discounted with
reference to the government yields). Movements in interest rates should have a small impact on the insurance profit or loss due to
IAG's policy of investing in assets backing insurance liabilities principally in fixed interest securities that are closely matched to the
duration of the insurance liabilities (period to settlement). Therefore, movements in the fair value measurement of the assets
broadly offset the impact of movements in the insurance liabilities from changes in interest rates.
The impact on the measurement of investments in fixed interest-bearing securities held at reporting date of a change in interest
rates by +1% or -1% on profit before tax, net of related derivatives, is shown in the following table. The sensitivity analysis provided
demonstrates the effect of a change in interest rates only, whilst other assumptions remain unchanged. As investments in fixed
interest-bearing securities are measured at fair value through profit or loss, there is no direct impact from an interest rate change
on equity.

II. Credit risk
Credit risk is defined as the risk arising from a counterparty’s failure to meet its obligations in accordance with agreed terms.
These include investment and derivative counterparties, reinsurers and premium debtors.
Concentrations of credit risk exist where a number of counterparties have similar economic characteristics. IAG's credit risk arises
predominantly from investment activities, reinsurance activities, premium debtors, over-the-counter derivatives (currency forwards)
and dealings with other intermediaries. IAG maintains a credit risk appetite, which is approved by the Board, and a Group Credit
Risk Policy that is consistent with the Board's risk appetite. The policy outlines the framework and procedures in place to ensure
an adequate and appropriate level of monitoring and management of credit quality throughout IAG, with the Capital Markets
function responsible for implementation. IAG maintains sufficiently diverse credit exposures which also assists in avoiding a
concentration charge being added to the regulatory capital requirement.
For the in-scope receivable balances, maximum exposure to credit risk is considered on initial measurement of the asset, where
lifetime expected credit losses are taken into account and provided for where required. Refer to Note 2.6 for further details.
a. INVESTMENTS
IAG is exposed to credit risk from investments in third parties, for example debt or similar securities issued by those companies.
The maximum exposure to credit risk loss as at reporting date is the carrying amount of the investments on the balance sheet as
they are measured at fair value. At the reporting date, there are material concentrations of credit risk to the banking sector, in
particular the four major Australian banks. The credit risk relating to investments is regularly monitored and assessed, with
maximum exposures limited by reference to credit rating and counterparty. Sovereign securities denominated in the functional
currency are considered risk free and are unconstrained. The assets backing insurance liabilities of $7,673 million (2021: $7,434
million) include predominantly high credit quality investments, such as government securities and other investment grade
securities, which reduce the risk of default.
82 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2022
The following table provides information regarding the credit risk relating to the interest-bearing investments based on Standard &
Poor’s counterparty credit ratings, which demonstrates the very strong overall credit quality of IAG's investment book:

Cash and securities issued with a short-term rating are included in the rating category with the equivalent APRA counterparty grade.
b. REINSURANCE RECOVERIES ON PAID CLAIMS
Reinsurance arrangements mitigate insurance risk but expose IAG to credit risk. Reinsurance is placed with counterparties
(primarily reinsurance companies) based on an evaluation of their financial strength, terms of coverage and price. At the reporting
date, there are material concentrations of credit risk in relation to reinsurance recoverables, in particular to large global reinsurers.
IAG has clearly defined policies for the approval and management of credit risk in relation to reinsurers. IAG monitors the financial
condition of its reinsurers on an ongoing basis and periodically reviews the reinsurers’ ability to fulfil their obligations under
respective existing and future reinsurance contracts. Some of the reinsurers are domiciled outside the jurisdictions in which IAG
operates, so there is the potential for additional risk such as country risk and transfer risk.
It is IAG policy to only place cover with reinsurers with credit ratings of at least Standard & Poor’s A- (or other rating agency
equivalent) without collateralisation, other than a mandatory placement to meet local regulatory requirements. Where the credit
rating of a reinsurer falls below the required quality during the period of risk a contractual right to replace the counterparty exists.
Some of the reinsurance protection is purchased on a ‘collateralised’ basis, where counterparties either deposit funds equivalent
to their participation (trust or loss deposits) or provide other forms of collateral (letters of credit).
The following table provides IAG's exposure to reinsurance recoveries receivable on the outstanding claims balance, excluding other
recoveries, by counterparty credit rating (Standard & Poor's) and the secured collateral:

c. PREMIUM RECEIVABLE
The majority of the premium receivable balance relates to policies which are paid on a monthly instalment basis. The late payment
of amounts due under such arrangements allows for the cancellation of the related insurance contract eliminating both the credit
risk and insurance risk for the unpaid amounts. Upon cancellation of a policy the outstanding premium receivable and revenue is
reversed. IAG is also exposed to the credit risk associated with brokers and other intermediaries when premium is collected via
these intermediaries. IAG’s exposure is regularly monitored by ALCo with reference to aggregated exposure, credit rating, internal
credit limits and ageing of receivables by counterparty. Ageing analysis for premium receivable is provided below, with amounts

III. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises where liabilities cannot be met as they fall due as a result of insufficient funds and/or illiquid asset portfolios.
IAG's liquidity position is derived from operating cash flows, access to liquidity through related bodies corporate and interest-
bearing liabilities (with some denominated in different currencies and with different maturities). IAG complies with its liquidity risk
management practices, which include a Group policy, and has the framework and procedures in place to ensure an appropriate
level of monitoring and management of liquidity.
a. OUTSTANDING CLAIMS LIABILITY AND INVESTMENTS
Underwriting insurance contracts exposes IAG to liquidity risk through the obligation to make payment for claims of unknown
amounts on unknown dates. The assets backing insurance liabilities can generally be readily sold or exchanged for cash to settle
claims and are managed in accordance with the policy of broadly matching the overall maturity profile to the estimated pattern of
claim payments.
A maturity analysis is provided below of the estimated net discounted outstanding claims liability (based on the remaining term to
payment at the reporting date) and the investments that have a fixed term (provided by expected maturity). The timing of future
claim payments is inherently uncertain. Actual maturities may differ from expected maturities because certain counterparties have
the right to call or prepay certain obligations with or without penalties.

IV. Capital risk
Capital risk is defined as the risk that capital is insufficient or excessive given the nature, strategies and objectives of the Group, or
comprised of a mix of equity, debt, reinsurance, including IAG’s 32.5% whole-of-account quota share arrangements, or other
expiring sources of capital that is unsuitable or unsustainable due to its cost, structure, flexibility, or our ability to renew or replace
on acceptable terms. IAG's capital management strategy plays a central role in managing risk to create shareholder value whilst
meeting the objective of maintaining an appropriate level of capital to protect policyholders' and lenders' interests, and meet
regulatory requirements.
IAG has a documented description of the capital management process (Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP)) and
reports annually on its operation to the Board, together with a forward-looking estimate of expected capital utilisation (as
represented in IAG’s Capital Plan) and capital resilience (ICAAP Annual Report). The adequacy of IAG's capital position is judged
relative to the Board's Capital RAS, with an Internal Capital Model (ICM) used to assess the risks of breaching the minimum levels
established in the Capital RAS. Scenario analysis and stress testing are important adjuncts to the ICM. The amount of capital
required varies according to a range of factors including the business underwritten, extent of reinsurance and investment asset
allocation.
The target level of capitalisation (risk appetite) for IAG is assessed by consideration of factors including:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
the probability of insolvency over the next three years;
the probability of falling below the APRA Prescribed Capital Amount (PCA) over the next three years;
other stakeholder perspectives on capitalisation, including rating agency capital models and associated ratings; and
domestic and international levels of capitalisation.
a. REGULATORY CAPITAL
All insurers within IAG that carry on insurance business in Australia are registered with APRA and are subject to APRA's Prudential
Standards. It is IAG's policy to ensure that each of the licenced insurers in the Group maintains an adequate capital position.
IAG's long-term target capital ranges are set out below:
(cid:4)
a Common Equity Tier 1 capital of 0.9 to 1.1 times the PCA, compared to a regulatory requirement of a minimum of 0.6 times;
and
a total regulatory capital position equivalent to 1.6 to 1.8 times the PCA, compared to a regulatory requirement of a minimum
of 1.0 times.
(cid:4)
Internal policies are in place to ensure any significant deviations from the benchmarks are considered by the Board as to how any
shortfall should be made good, or any surplus utilised or maintained.
IAG uses the standardised framework detailed in the relevant prudential standards (APRA Level 2 Insurance Group requirements) to
calculate regulatory capital.

At 30 June 2022, IAG's Insurance Concentration Risk Charge was $211 million (2021: $192 million).
Consideration is given to the operational capital needs of the business. Targeting a capital multiple above the minimum regulatory
requirement aims to ensure the ongoing strength and security of IAG, while suitably protecting policyholders and lenders.
IAG's capital objectives are achieved through dynamic management of the balance sheet and capital mix, the use of a risk-based
capital adequacy framework that relies on explicit quantification of uncertainty or risk and the use of modelling techniques that
provide the capacity to understand the risk/return trade-off as well as valuable inputs to the capital management process. The
influences on capital, such as product mix, reinsurance program design, catastrophe exposure, investment strategy, profit margins
and capital structure, are all assessed using dynamic financial analysis modelling.
An important influence on IAG's capital level is the payment of dividends. IAG targets a dividend payout ratio, measured as a
proportion of cash earnings, within a range approved by the Board.

G. OPERATIONAL RISK
Operational risk is defined as the failure to achieve objectives due to inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems
or from external events.
When controls are inadequate or fail, an operational risk event can cause injury, damage to reputation, have legal or regulatory
implications or can lead to financial loss. IAG manages these risks by initiating an appropriate control framework and by monitoring
and managing potential risks. The Risk Committee is responsible for oversight of the operational risk framework and approval of
the Group Operational Risk Management Framework, and any changes to it. The Board and Group Leadership Team believe an
effective, documented and structured approach to operational risk is a key part of the broader RMF that is outlined in IAG's RMS.
The operational risk framework and standards aim to ensure that consistent governance mechanisms and practices are in place,
and that activities undertaken which involve operational risk are assessed and managed with appropriate regard to the Group's RAS
and the achievement of IAG's objectives. The operational risk framework is supported by aligned frameworks, policies, standards
and procedures for key aspects of operational risk.
Over the last two years, there has been significant activity undertaken to resolve several operational risk matters, including
potential business interruption claims relating to COVID-19 and historic matters pertaining to IAG’s pricing systems and processes
and payroll-related procedures. There has been continued focus on uplifting operational risk management capability in response to
these issues. Refer to Note 2.2 and Note 5.3 for further details on the associated provisions recognised to date.
Management and staff are responsible for identifying, assessing and managing operational risks in accordance with their roles and
responsibilities.
86 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2022
H. REGULATORY AND COMPLIANCE RISK
Regulatory and Compliance Risk is defined as the risk of legal, regulatory or reputational impacts arising from failure to manage
compliance obligations, or failure to anticipate and prepare for changes in the regulatory environment. IAG engages with regulators
and regularly monitors developments in regulatory requirements to support ongoing compliance.
In recent times, across Australia and New Zealand, the insurance industry has observed an increase in the frequency and scale of
regulatory reviews. For example, ASIC, in its Enforcement Update (Report 688) in April 2021 stated that one of its enforcement
priorities is misconduct related to insurance. In October 2021, ASIC called on all general insurers to review their pricing systems
and controls to prevent consumer harm, and stated that where there are failures, or empty promises about price discounts, ASIC
will use the full range of regulatory tools available to protect consumers - including enforcement action. Where a breach has
occurred, regulators may impose, or apply to a Court for, fines and/or other sanctions. In recent years, there has been an increase
in the number of matters in respect of which the Group engages with its regulators, including in relation to pricing issues which are
the subject of ongoing enforcement action as well as regulatory inquiries and investigations.
IAG remains focused on implementing the Australian Government’s legislative change agenda flowing from the Final Report of the
Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry (Royal Commission).
4. CAPITAL STRUCTURE
SECTION INTRODUCTION
This section provides disclosures on the capital structure of IAG, which demonstrates how IAG finances its overall operations and
growth through the use of different sources of funds, including ordinary equity and debt and hybrid instruments. Reinsurance is
also an increasingly important source of long-term capital for IAG – reinsurance-specific disclosures are included in section 2
insurance disclosures.
The capital that IAG maintains provides financial security to its policyholders, whilst ensuring adherence to the capital adequacy
requirements of industry regulators. IAG also seeks to maintain, and where possible enhance, the overall diversity and efficiency
of its capital structure to support the delivery of targeted returns to shareholders. IAG’s capital composition is substantially in the
form of securities eligible for inclusion in regulatory capital, therefore IAG’s capital mix is primarily determined by its regulatory
capital targets.

notes must be converted into ordinary shares of the Company, or, if conversion does not occur when required, written-off.
D. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
The interest-bearing liabilities are initially measured at fair value (net of transaction costs) and subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method. Based on market conditions at any point in time, the carrying value of the
liabilities may not be representative of the fair value of the liabilities.
The fair value for all interest-bearing liabilities is calculated using their quoted market price in active markets (fair value hierarchy
level 1), except for the AUD subordinated term notes where their fair value is calculated using their quoted market price in a market
that is considered to be lacking sufficient depth to be considered active (fair value hierarchy level 2).

B. STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIP WITH BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY (BH)
The strategic relationship with BH is underpinned by a 10-year 20% quota share arrangement across IAG’s consolidated insurance
business. As part of the strategic relationship with BH, the Company and National Indemnity Company (NICO), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of BH, entered into a subscription agreement dated 16 June 2015 (Subscription Agreement), which required an initial
acquisition of 89,766,607 new fully paid ordinary shares of the Company. The terms of the Subscription Agreement were released
to the ASX on 16 June 2015, attached to the Appendix 3B on that date. The material terms of the agreement include those
summarised below:
I. Anti-dilution right
On entry by the Company and NICO into the Subscription Agreement, the Company granted NICO a right, subject to certain
exclusions, to maintain, by way of a right to subscribe for shares or participate in issues of shares, its percentage interest in the
issued share capital of the Company or its pro rata entitlement (as applicable) in respect of a diluting event which occurs or is
announced on or after 16 June 2015. These anti-dilution rights cease to apply on 30 June 2025 (or on termination of the Strategic
Relationship Agreement and Quota Share Agreement, if earlier).
II. Standstill agreement
Under the Subscription Agreement, during the standstill period, being the period to 30 June 2025 (or 12 months after termination
of the Strategic Relationship Agreement and the Quota Share Agreement, if earlier), NICO agreed that it will not, and that it will
procure its affiliates to not, increase BH’s, or another party’s relevant interest in the securities of the Company to more than 14.9%,
subject to certain exemptions.
III. Third party control transactions
During the stand still period, NICO also agreed that it will not, and that it will procure its affiliates to not, participate in any third
party control transaction, unless it is recommended by a majority of the directors of the Company. Under the Subscription
Agreement, a third party control transaction includes a takeover offer, scheme of arrangement or other transaction, which, on
implementation, would provide a third party with a holding of 50% or more of the issued ordinary share capital in the Company. The
Subscription Agreement also contains participation obligations if NICO and its affiliates are entitled to participate in a third party
control transaction.
IV. Lock-up
Under the Subscription Agreement, NICO agreed that it will not, and will ensure that none of its affiliates, dispose of or agree to
dispose of, any of the ordinary shares of the Company issued under the Subscription Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.
This lock-up restriction applies during the lock-up period, being the earlier of: (i) the period to 30 June 2025; (ii) 3 or 12 months
after termination of the Strategic Relationship Agreement and the Quota Share Agreement due to a fault termination event (noting
that the time period is dependent on whether the Company or BH terminates due to such fault termination event); (iii) the date on
which a third party control event occurs (which will be triggered if a third party acquires a relevant interest of 30% or more of the
ordinary shares of the Company, acquires control of the Company in accordance with section 50AA of the Corporations Act and has
appointed at least 1 director to the board of the Company, but excludes a third party control transaction described above).
C. NATURE AND PURPOSE OF EQUITY
I. Ordinary shares
All ordinary shares on issue are fully paid and have no par value. Ordinary shares entitle the holder to a vote at a general meeting
of the Company and to participate in the dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of,
and amounts paid on, the shares held.
Shares are classified as equity when there is no obligation to transfer cash or other assets to the holder. Transaction costs directly
attributable to the issue of equity instruments are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds, net of tax.
II. Treasury shares held in trust
To satisfy obligations under the various share-based remuneration plans, shares are generally bought on-market at or near grant
date of the relevant arrangement and are managed using in-house trusts, one for Australia and one for New Zealand, which are
controlled by IAG. The shares are measured at cost and are presented as a deduction from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in
profit or loss on the sale, cancellation or reissue of the shares. The shares are derecognised as treasury shares held in trust when
the shares vest or are released to the participant. The total number of treasury shares acquired on-market during the financial year
was 124 thousand (2021: 95 thousand) at an average price per share of $4.62 (2021: $4.75).
III. Foreign currency translation reserve
The foreign currency translation reserve records the foreign currency differences and related net investment hedge arising from the
translation of the financial position and performance of subsidiaries and investments in associates that have a functional currency
other than Australian dollars.
IV. Share-based remuneration reserve
The share-based remuneration reserve is used to recognise the fair value of equity-settled share-based remuneration obligations
issued to employees. The total amount expensed over the vesting period through the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income is calculated by reference to the fair value of the rights at grant date. The fair value of the rights is calculated at the grant
date using a Black-Scholes valuation model and Monte Carlo simulation. The volatility assumption has been set considering the
Company's historical share price. Some of the assumptions are based on historical data which is not necessarily indicative of
future trends. Reasonable changes in these assumptions would not have a material impact on the amounts recognised in the
financial statements.
889
The Company provides benefits to employees (including senior management and Executives) through share-based incentives to
create a link between shareholder value creation and rewarding employees, and assist with retention of key personnel. The senior
management and Executive share plan arrangements consist of two separate arrangements working together. These two
arrangements are the Deferred Award Rights Plan (DARs Plan) and Executive Performance Rights Plan (EPRs Plan). The People and
Remuneration Committee approves the participation of each individual in the plans.
The obligations under share-based payment arrangements are covered by the on-market purchase of ordinary shares of the
Company which are held in trust. The number of shares purchased to cover each allocation of rights is determined by the trustee
based on independent actuarial advice.

The basic earnings per ordinary share is determined by dividing the profit or loss attributable to shareholders of the Parent by the weighted average number of shares
of the Parent on issue during the reporting year. The treasury shares held in trust are deducted, but earnings attributable to those shares are included.
Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing the profit or loss attributable to shareholders of the Parent, adjusted for the finance costs of dilutive convertible
instruments, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, primarily as a result of debt instruments that possess a
conversion feature.

The consolidated amounts above are calculated from the balance of the franking account as at the end of the reporting period,
adjusted for franking credits that will arise from the settlement, after the end of the reporting date, of tax-related balances and the
franking credits that will be utilised for dividends determined but not recognised at the reporting date.
The Company, immediately after payment of the final dividend (70% franked), will have $6 million franking credits available for
distribution.
The unfranked part of the dividend is declared to be conduit foreign income. For shareholders not resident in Australia, the
dividend will not be subject to Australian withholding tax.
D. DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT
A Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) operates which allows shareholders with ordinary shares to elect to receive their dividend
entitlement in the form of ordinary shares of the Company. The price of DRP shares is the VWAP, less a discount if determined by
the Directors, calculated over the pricing period (which is at least five trading days) as determined by the Directors for each
dividend payment date.
A copy of the terms and conditions for the DRP is available at www.iag.com.au/shareholder-centre/dividends/reinvestment. The
DRP for the 2022 interim dividend paid on 24 March 2022 was settled with the on-market purchase of 5.4 million shares priced at
$4.84 per share (based on a VWAP for 5 trading days from 21 February 2022 to 25 February 2022 inclusive, with no discount
applied).
E. RESTRICTIONS THAT MAY LIMIT THE PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS
There are currently no restrictions on the payment of dividends by the Parent other than:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
the payment of dividends is subject to the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 and IAG's constitution;
the payment of dividends generally being limited to profits, subject to ongoing solvency obligations, and under the APRA Level
2 Insurance Group supervision requirements, IAG is required to obtain approval from APRA before payment of dividends on
ordinary shares that exceed the Group’s after tax earnings as defined by APRA; and
no dividends can be paid and no returns of capital can be made on ordinary shares if distributions are not paid on the capital
notes, unless certain actions are taken by IAG. For further details, refer to Note 4.1.
(cid:4)
F. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Provision for dividends is made in respect of ordinary shares where the dividends are declared on or before the reporting date, but
have not yet been distributed at that date.

B. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value, which is determined by reference to current market quotes or generally accepted
valuation principles. The investment-related derivatives are presented together with the underlying investments or as payables
when the fair value is negative. The treasury-related derivatives are presented as receivables when the fair value is positive or as
payables when the fair value is negative.
I. Hedge accounting
Hedge accounting may be applied to derivatives designated as hedging instruments provided certain criteria are met. At the
inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which it wishes to apply
hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge.
The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged and how
the Group will assess whether the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements (including the analysis of
sources of hedge ineffectiveness and how the hedge ratio is determined). A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting if it
meets all of the following effectiveness requirements:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
there is ‘an economic relationship’ between the hedged item and the hedging instrument;
the effect of credit risk does not ‘dominate the value changes’ that result from that economic relationship; and
the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the Group
actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the Group actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item.
Hedge of net investments in foreign operations
The foreign currency exposures arising on translation of net investments in foreign operations are hedged (net investment hedge)
using the spot element of forward exchange contracts and the designation of certain foreign currency borrowings as hedging
instruments. The fair value is determined using observable inputs (level 2 in the fair value hierarchy).
There is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the net investment creates a
translation risk that will match the foreign exchange risk on the spot element of the forward exchange contracts and the foreign
currency borrowings. The Group has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 as the underlying risk of the hedging instruments is identical
to the hedged risk component. Any hedge ineffectiveness may arise when the exposure to the underlying net investment in the
foreign operation falls below the notional amount of the forward exchange contracts and the amount of borrowings designated as
net investment hedging instruments.
Any gain or loss on the net investment hedges relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognised in equity, while the gain or
loss relating to the ineffective portion is immediately recognised in profit or loss. Gains and losses accumulated in the equity
reserve are recognised in profit or loss upon the disposal of the foreign operation.

During the year, IAG recognised $nil million (2021: nil) gain or loss due to ineffectiveness on derivative instruments designated as
net investment hedges in the profit or loss.
II. Derivatives without hedge accounting applied
For derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, the changes in fair value are immediately recognised in profit or loss.
Transaction costs for purchases of derivatives are expensed as incurred.
The fair value of the bond futures and share price index futures are measured using a quoted price in an active market (level 1 in
the fair value hierarchy), whilst the fair value of the forward foreign exchange contracts are determined using observable inputs
(level 2 in the fair value hierarchy).

5. OTHER BALANCE SHEET DISCLOSURES
SECTION INTRODUCTION
This section provides disclosures on other components of IAG's financial position, including:
(cid:4)
Goodwill and intangible assets – these balances primarily relate to the difference between the total consideration paid and
the net tangible assets acquired in relation to past business acquisitions as well as internally developed capitalised software.
These assets support the generation of future earnings and are subject to impairment testing, with finite useful life intangible
assets also subject to amortisation. For example, an impairment will arise if future earnings can no longer support the
carrying value of the assets in question.
Income tax – the note summarises both the comprehensive income (profit or loss and other comprehensive income) and
balance sheet items related to income tax. The profit or loss disclosure includes a reconciliation between the income tax
expense reported and the prima facie amount when applying the Australian company tax rate (30%). The balance sheet
disclosure focuses on deferred tax balances, which arise due to timing differences between the accounting treatment of
taxable income or expenses and the treatment adopted by the relevant tax authority. For example, IAG recognises a deferred
tax asset in relation to losses incurred by its Australian and New Zealand operations in prior financial years. This asset is
expected to unwind over time as the tax benefit recognised for accounting purposes is used to offset future taxable income.
Provisions – historically this balance has primarily included employee-related costs, for example an annual leave entitlement
representing amounts owing to employees at the balance date based on past service. The provisions balance also includes
amounts in respect of the customer remediation program and payroll compliance review.
Leases – the note provides information on the effect that leases have on the financial position, financial performance and
cash flows of IAG.

IAG recognised an impairment of $15 million on the goodwill associated with the Victorian workers’ compensation business as a result of its exit in its role as agent in
FY21.
93
C. IMPAIRMENT
An impairment charge is recognised in profit or loss when the carrying value of the asset, or Cash-Generating Unit (CGU), exceeds
the calculated recoverable amount. The impairment charge for goodwill cannot be subsequently reversed, whereas for identified
intangibles the charge can be reversed where estimates used to determine the recoverable amount have changed. For assets with
indefinite useful lives, which include goodwill, the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets is reviewed for impairment at
each reporting date, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The carrying
amounts of intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date by determining whether there is an
indication that the carrying values may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the asset is tested for impairment. For further
details on the impact from COVID-19 and other economic factors, refer to Note 1.2.
I. Impairment testing of goodwill
For the purpose of impairment testing goodwill is allocated to CGUs. The recoverable amount of goodwill is determined by value-in-
use calculations, which estimate the present value of future cash flows by using a post-tax discount rate that reflects current
market assessment of the risks specific to the CGUs. Where an impairment is determined, impairment losses relating to CGUs are
allocated first to reduce goodwill and then to other CGU assets on a pro-rata basis.
Goodwill is allocated to the following CGUs:

The following describes the key assumptions on which management based its cash flow projections to undertake the impairment
testing:
(cid:4)
Cash flow forecasts are based on the latest three-year management business plans and then trend to the long-term
assumptions to cover a ten-year valuation forecasts for growth and profitability.
Terminal value is calculated using a perpetuity growth formula based on the cash flow forecast at the end of the relevant
valuation forecast period, terminal growth rate in profit or premium and, where appropriate, terminal insurance margin.
Terminal growth rates and insurance margins are based on past performance and management's expectations for future
performance in each segment and country. The terminal growth rate assumptions used in IAG's impairment assessment for
significant CGUs as at 30 June 2022 are: Direct Insurance Australia 3.7% (2021: 3.7%), Intermediated Insurance Australia
3.2% (2021: 3.5%) and New Zealand 3.5% (2021: 3.5%).
Discount rates reflect a beta and equity risk premium appropriate to IAG, with risk adjustments for individual segments and
countries where applicable. The pre-tax and post-tax discount rates used for significant CGUs as at 30 June 2022 are set out
in the table below.

II. Impairment testing of identified intangible assets
Where the recoverable amount is determined by a value-in-use calculation, it involves the use of accounting estimates and
assumptions to determine the projected net cash flows, which are discounted using an appropriate discount rate to reflect current
market assessment of the risks associated with the assets or CGU. A description of the nature of significant intangible assets is
provided below:
(cid:4)
An impairment charge for capitalised software is incurred if there is evidence of obsolescence or significant changes impacting
the manner in which an asset is used or expected to be used or there is evidence indicating the economic performance of the
asset is not as intended by management.
The value of distribution channels is derived from future revenue expected to be generated as a result of the existing
relationships with the broker networks.
Customer relationships represent the present value of future profits expected to arise from existing customer relationships
(developed prior to acquisition of the business). The assumptions for the useful life and customer attrition rates are
determined based on historical information.
Brands represent the revenue-generating value of the acquired brand which is determined using the relief from royalty
method.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
D. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
All of the goodwill and intangible assets, other than components of capitalised software development expenditure (internally
generated), have been acquired.
94 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Intangible assets are initially recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, being the fair value of the consideration. Internally
generated intangible assets comprise all directly attributable costs necessary to create, produce and prepare the asset to be
capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Goodwill is generated as a result of business acquisition and is
initially measured as the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities
acquired. At the date of disposal of a business, attributed goodwill is used to calculate the gain or loss on disposal.
Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, including goodwill and certain brands, are not subject to amortisation but to
impairment testing. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period in which the
related economic benefits are expected to be realised. Amortisation rates and residual values are reviewed annually and any
changes are accounted for prospectively. Amortisation is recognised within fee-based, corporate and other expenses in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income, whilst the amortisation of capitalised software is recognised within the
insurance profit. The useful lives for each category of intangible assets are as follows:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
capitalised software: up to 3 years, with major core software infrastructure amortised over a period up to 10 years;
distribution channels: 5 to 10 years;
customer relationships: 5 to 10 years; and
brands and other: up to 20 years, except for certain brands with an indefinite useful life.

insurance reserving and remediation costs, and IAG’s New Zealand business as a result of the Christchurch earthquake events that
occurred in 2010 and 2011 and the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake. Tax losses carried forward do not expire after a particular period
and remain available to offset against future income tax liabilities, provided the continuity of shareholding requirement is met at
the listed holding company level.

E. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
I. Income tax
Income tax expense for a reporting year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to
the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in either equity or other comprehensive income.
II. Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are the expected tax recoverable or payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates for
each jurisdiction, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous financial periods. These include any rates or laws
enacted or substantially enacted at the consolidated balance sheet date.
III. Deferred tax
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases. Deferred
tax assets (deductible temporary differences, carried forward unused tax assets and unused tax losses) are recognised to the
extent it is probable that future taxable profit will be available to utilise them before the unused tax losses or credits expire. In
making this assessment, IAG considers historical trends of profit generation.
The following demonstrates other circumstances when no deferred tax asset or liability is recognised:
(cid:4)
temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did
not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss;
temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in subsidiaries where it is probable that the
differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
temporary differences relating to the initial recognition of goodwill.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
IV. Tax consolidation
The Company and its Australian resident wholly-owned subsidiaries adopted the tax consolidation legislation with effect from 1 July
2002 and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The Company is the head entity within the tax-consolidated group.
Any current tax liabilities (or assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the subsidiaries are assumed by the
head entity in the tax-consolidated group and are recognised as amounts receivable/(payable) from/(to) other entities in the tax
consolidated group in conjunction with any tax funding arrangement amounts. Any difference between these amounts is
recognised by IAG as an equity contribution or distribution.
All entities in the tax-consolidated group have entered into a tax sharing agreement which, in the opinion of the Directors, limits the
joint and several liabilities of the wholly-owned entities in the case of a default by the head entity. The entities have also entered
into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly-owned entities fully compensate the Company for any current tax payable
assumed.

This balance includes an offsetting amount of $3 million (2021: $9 million) in respect of recoverable indirect taxes.
This provision relates to multi-year pricing issues identified by IAG as part of a proactive review of its pricing systems and related
business processes.
On 15 October 2021, IAG advised that ASIC had commenced civil penalty proceedings in the Federal Court of Australia alleging
contraventions of the ASIC Act 2001 and the Corporations Act 2001 by Insurance Australia Limited (IAL), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of IAG. The proceedings relate to IAL’s failure to pass on the full amount of discounts to a significant number of NRMA Home,
Motor, Caravan and Boat Insurance customers between March 2014 and September 2019. IAG identified this issue as part of a
review in 2019 and self-reported the issue to ASIC. IAG is closely working with ASIC through the remediation program in respect of
this issue. The customer refunds associated with these proceedings are covered by the customer refund provision that was
established in the 2020 and 2021 financial years, which also covers other products and pricing-related matters.
During the current year, the net reduction in the provision of $90 million relates to the net impact of ongoing remediation payments
to impacted customers and the incurrence of costs associated with running the program and the recognition of additional amounts
for pricing and related matters. The gross customer refunds provision was $309 million at 30 June 2022 (2021: $399 million).
The provision comprises premium refunds, interest attributable to those refunds, the cost of administering the associated
remediation program and other pricing-related matters. The appropriateness of all underlying assumptions continues to be
reviewed as the remediation program and ASIC civil penalty proceedings progresses and adjustments will be made to the provision,
including for any civil penalty, where required.
The customer refunds provision is expected to be settled within 12 months from reporting date (2021: $292 million).

This provision relates to a retrospective compliance review across a number of IAG’s payroll-related procedures connected to
primary and ancillary legislative and key entitlement obligations.
During the current year, there has been no net impact to earnings related to changes in the payroll compliance provision, with the
reduction in the provision of $46 million relating to the settlement of employee entitlement shortfalls and the incurrence of costs
associated with running the program. The payroll compliance provision was $17 million at 30 June 2022 (2021: $63 million). The
provision comprises employee entitlement shortfalls, interest applicable to those amounts and the cost of administering the
associated remediation program.
The payroll compliance provision is expected to be settled within 12 months from reporting date (2021: $63 million).
F. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
The Group recognises provisions when there is a present obligation arising from a past event, an outflow of economic resources is
probable, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably. The amount recognised is the best estimate of the
consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties
surrounding the timing and amount of the obligation.
I. Annual leave
Liability for annual leave is recognised at the nominal amounts unpaid at the reporting date using remuneration rates that are
expected to be paid when the liability is settled, including on-costs.
II. Long service leave
A liability for long service leave is recognised as the present value of estimated future cash outflows to be made in respect of
services provided by employees up to the reporting date. The estimated future cash outflows are discounted using corporate bond
yields which have terms to maturity that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Factors which affect the
estimated future cash outflows such as expected future salary increases, experience of employee departures and period of service,
are incorporated in the measurement.
III. Short-term incentive plan
The short-term incentive plan continued in operation during the current reporting year. Under the plan, eligible employees have the
capacity to earn an incentive, calculated as a proportion of their base salary, which is paid in cash each year. The incentive
opportunity is set depending on an employee's role and responsibilities. The majority of employees are on a 10%, 15% or 20% plan.
The incentive payments are determined based on an assessment of individual performance and achievement of a range of Group,
business unit and individual goals.
IV. Superannuation
For defined benefit superannuation plans, the net financial position of the plans is recognised on the consolidated balance sheet
and the movement in the net financial position is recognised in profit or loss, except for remeasurements of defined benefit plans
(experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions), which are recognised directly in retained earnings. For defined
contribution superannuation plans, obligations for contributions are recognised in profit or loss as they become payable.
V. Executive performance rights
Executive performance rights (EPRs) issued after July 2013 are indeterminate rights in that they can be cash-settled or equity-
settled. The choice of settlement is with the Board. Liabilities for the EPRs that are cash-settled are recognised as employee
benefit expense over the relevant service period. The liabilities are remeasured to fair value at each reporting date and are
presented as employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
VI. Restructuring provision
A provision is recognised for the expected costs associated with restructuring where there is a detailed formal plan for restructure
and a valid expectation has been raised in those persons expected to be affected. The provision is based on the direct expenditure
to be incurred which is both directly and necessarily caused by the restructuring and may include termination benefits. It does not
include costs associated with ongoing activities. The adequacy of the provision is reviewed regularly and adjusted if required.
Revisions to the estimated amount of a restructuring provision are reported in the period in which the revision to the estimate
occurs.
VII. Customer refunds provision
A provision is recognised for the expected and currently known costs associated with customer refunds. In establishing this
provision, assumptions have been made around the quantum of the premium impact for affected customers, the compound
interest attributable to the base premium amount, the costs associated with operating the associated remediation program and
related matters. The appropriateness of all underlying assumptions continues to be reviewed as the remediation program and ASIC
civil penalty proceedings progresses and adjustments will be made to the provision, including for any civil penalty, where required.
98 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2022
The insurance industry, including IAG, is highly regulated and has been the subject of increasing scrutiny by regulators. In recent
years, there has been an increase on the number of matters on which the Group engages with its regulators, including in relation
to pricing issues and which is the subject of ongoing inquiries and investigations.
VIII. Payroll compliance provision
A provision is recognised for the expected costs associated with the payroll compliance review. In establishing this provision,
assumptions have been made around the quantum of the underpayment of some employee entitlements, interest applicable to
those amounts and the cost of administering the associated remediation program.

D. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Properties, motor vehicles and equipment of the Group are leased under non-cancellable lease agreements, which are measured
under AASB 16. Most leases are subject to annual review and, where appropriate, a right of renewal has been incorporated into
the lease agreements. There are no options to purchase the relevant assets on expiry of the lease.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured as the present value of lease payments over the term of the
agreement that are not paid at that date. Lease liabilities include the following lease payments:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable; and
variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the
commencement date.
The lease term is determined as the non-cancellable period of a lease, considering any options to extend or early terminate the
lease that the entity reasonably expects to exercise.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is
generally the case for leases in the Group, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee
would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic
environment with similar terms, security and conditions.
To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Group:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
identifies the relevant risk-free yield curve for the country-specific lease and lease term; and
applies a margin to the risk-free rate that reflects the entity-specific credit risk which reflects the rate at which it could borrow
from external markets. The margin has been identified by taking an average of those applied in external markets by entities
with a similar credit rating issuing debt for durations which are consistent with the terms of leases held by IAG.
The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in
the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease
liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost representing the time value of money is
charged to the profit or loss over the lease period. The discount rate applied is unchanged from that applied at the initial
recognition of the lease, unless there are material changes to the lease.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
the initial measurement of lease liability; adjusted for
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;
any initial direct costs;
restoration costs;
less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses; and
adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability.
Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.
Payments associated with short-term leases of property, motor vehicles and equipment are recognised on a straight-line basis as
an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases have a lease term of 12 months or less.

The net cash flows from investing activities for the year ended 30 June 2022 includes a net outflow of $24 million from the sale of IAG's Vietnam operations, which is
comprised of the net cash consideration received of $15 million and the cash and cash equivalents disposed which totalled $39 million.
D. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents
a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line
of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued
operations are presented separately in the statement of profit or loss. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation,
the comparative statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income is re-presented as if the operation had been
discontinued from the start of the comparative year.
NOTE 6.2 ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE
On 19 July 2021, IAG announced that AmGeneral Holdings Berhad (AmGeneral), the Malaysian business in which it held a 49%
interest, had signed an Implementation Agreement for the proposed sale of its insurance business to Liberty Insurance Berhad
(Liberty). Regulatory approval for the sale was received on 28 June 2022 with final completion of the transaction (including
distribution of sale proceeds to IAG through a Court-approved capital reduction) occurring in July 2022.
As a result of the expected sale, IAG's investment in AmGeneral has been reclassified as being held for sale since the 2021
financial year. The assets and liabilities that were classified as held for sale as at 30 June 2021 also include those related to IAG's
business in Vietnam. The sale of IAG's operations in Vietnam was completed during the current financial period. Refer to Note 6.1
for further details.

Redeemable cumulative convertible preference shares (disclosed as loan to associate in 2021 above) in AmGeneral held by IAG International Pty Limited (IAGI), a
subsidiary of the Company, were converted into ordinary shares on 19 January 2022. This resulted in the reclassification of the loan balance to investment in
associate. The conversion occurred in order to facilitate an orderly Court approval process to implement the capital reduction through which all of IAGI’s shares in
AmGeneral were cancelled on 28 July 2022 to enable IAGI to receive its share of the sale proceeds arising from the disposal of AmGeneral Insurance Berhad to Liberty.
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a
sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of
their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee
benefits, financial assets and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.
Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately in the balance sheet.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to
sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in
excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of
the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition.
Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as
held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be
recognised.

There are no known material exposures to the Parent or events that would require it to satisfy any guarantees or take action under
a support agreement (2021: nil) other than the shareholder representative proceeding filed in the Supreme Court of Victoria (refer
to Note 7.1 for further details on contingent liabilities).
Recognition and measurement
Contingent liabilities are not recognised on the balance sheet but are disclosed where the possibility of settlement is less than
probable but more than remote. Provisions are not required with respect to these matters as it is not probable that a future
sacrifice of economic benefits will be required or the amount is not reliably measurable. If settlement becomes probable, a
provision is recognised. The best estimate of the settlement amount is used in measuring a contingent liability for disclosure.
E. COMMITMENTS
The Parent has no material commitments (2021: nil).

7. UNRECOGNISED ITEMS
SECTION INTRODUCTION
This section provides an overview of those items that are not required to be recognised in the financial statements, but may have
informative content in relation to IAG’s performance or financial position and are required to be disclosed under the accounting
standards. These include:
(cid:4)
contingencies – these primarily relate to contingent liabilities that are only recognised in the financial statements when their
settlement becomes probable or the amount to be settled can be reliably measured; and
events subsequent to reporting date – information is included on non-adjusting events, favourable and unfavourable, that
occur between the end of the reporting period and the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. For
example, disclosure of the final dividend in relation to a financial year as it is declared to be paid by the Board subsequent to
the reporting date.
(cid:4)
NOTE 7.1 CONTINGENCIES
As at 30 June 2022, the Group had the following specific contingent liability to report:
(cid:4)
IAG has been served with a shareholder representative proceeding filed in the Supreme Court of Victoria on behalf of persons
who acquired shares in IAG during the period 11 March 2020 and 20 November 2020 (inclusive), in relation to IAG’s
disclosure of the potential impact of COVID-19 related business interruption claims. It is currently not possible to determine
the ultimate financial impact this proceeding may have on IAG, if any. IAG intends to defend the proceeding.
From time to time the Group is exposed to contingent risks and liabilities arising from the conduct of its business including:
(cid:4)
actual and potential disputes, claims and legal proceedings, including litigation arising out of insurance policies and regulatory
matters.
investigations into conduct, including actual and potential regulatory breaches, carried out by regulatory authorities on either
an industry-wide or Group-specific basis.
internal investigations and reviews into conduct, including actual and potential regulatory breaches, carried out by or on behalf
of the Group.
contracts that involve giving contingent commitments such as warranties, indemnities or guarantees.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
Such matters are often highly complex and uncertain. The Directors are of the opinion that provisions are not required in respect
of these matters, as it is either not probable that a future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required, or the amount is not
capable of reliable measurement. Where appropriate, provisions have been made (refer to Note 5.3 for further details on
provisions).
NOTE 7.2 EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
Details of matters subsequent to the end of the financial year are set out below. These include:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
On 12 August 2022, the Board determined to pay a 70% franked final dividend of 5.0 cents per share. The dividend will be
paid on 22 September 2022. The DRP will operate likely by acquiring shares on-market for participants with no discount
applied.
On 1 August 2022, IAG announced that it has been served with a shareholder representative proceeding filed in the Supreme
Court of Victoria on behalf of persons who acquired shares in IAG during the period 11 March 2020 and 20 November 2020
(inclusive), in relation to IAG’s disclosure of the potential impact of COVID-19 related business interruption claims. IAG intends
to defend the proceeding. Refer to Note 7.1 for further details on contingent liabilities.
On 28 July 2022, IAG completed the sale of AmGeneral Insurance Berhad (AmGeneral), the Malaysian business in which it held
a 49% interest, to Liberty Insurance Berhad (announced on 19 July 2021). IAG’s share of the sale proceeds was approximately
$344 million, received in cash and subject to post-close adjustments. Completion of the sale has contributed an improvement
in IAG’s regulatory capital position of around $150 million.
8. ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES
SECTION INTRODUCTION
This section includes other information that must be disclosed to comply with the Accounting Standards, Corporations Act 2001
and ASX Listing Rules, but which is considered less relevant to understanding IAG's performance or financial position.

C. SIGNIFICANT NON-CASH TRANSACTIONS RELATING TO FINANCING AND INVESTING TRANSACTIONS
On 5 April 2022, the Company issued NZ$400 million of subordinated term notes, of which NZ$188 million was non-cash as a
result of the reinvestment offer applicable to the NZD subordinated convertible term notes issued in 2016.
There were no other financing or investing transactions during the year which have had a material effect on the assets and
liabilities that did not involve cash flows.
D. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash at bank and on hand and deposits at call held in investments, net of any bank overdraft.
Money held in investments is readily convertible to cash within two working days and subject to insignificant risk of change in value.
The majority of the amounts bear variable rates of interest based on daily bank deposit rates. Those balances bearing a fixed rate
of interest mature in less than one year.

Key management personnel (KMP) are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the
activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether Executive or otherwise) of that entity. It is important to
note that the Company’s Non-Executive Directors are specifically required to be included as KMP in accordance with AASB 124
Related Party Disclosures. However, the Non-Executive Directors do not consider that they are part of 'management'. The
aggregate compensation disclosed in the table below represents the KMP’s estimated compensation received from IAG in relation
to their involvement in the activities within the Group.

Remuneration does not include premiums paid by IAG for an insurance contract covering current and former Non-Executive
Directors' and Executives' liabilities and legal expenses incurred in respect of the relevant office, as the insurance policies do not
specify premiums paid on behalf of specific individual Non-Executive Directors and Executives and the terms of the contract
specifically prohibit the disclosure of the premium paid. Insurance products provided by IAG are available to all Non-Executive
Directors and Executives on the same terms and conditions available to other employees.

NOTE 8.3 REMUNERATION OF AUDITORS
The Joint Parliamentary Committee inquiry into the Regulation of Auditing in Australia highlighted the disparity and lack of
comparability of the external auditor fee remuneration disclosure for ASX Listed Corporates. ASIC are proposing four categories to
define external auditor services as the basis of the proposed future disclosure requirements. IAG has aligned its disclosure with
ASIC's proposed categories, as set out below:
A. KPMG
Audit services for the statutory financial reports of the parent and controlled entities
Assurance services that are required by legislation to be provided by the external auditor
Other assurance and agreed-upon-procedures under other legislation or contractual

Prior year comparatives of other assurance and advisory services have been re-presented to align with ASIC's proposed categories.
In accordance with advice received from the Audit Committee, the Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services
provided by KPMG is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.
The directors are satisfied because the Audit Committee or its delegate, in accordance with the pre-approved policies and
procedures, has assessed each service, having regard to auditor independence requirements of applicable laws, rules and
regulations, and concluded that the provision of each service or type of service would not impair the independence of KPMG.
Other assurance services principally include reviews of internal controls systems and assurance and attestation relating to
sustainability reporting.
Other services primarily relate to taxation services, including taxation advice (but not advice in relation to tax structuring) regarding
Australian/foreign tax legislation and tax returns, as well as reviews of risk assessment processes.

These changes are not expected to have a significant, if any, financial and disclosure impact.
The changes will have a financial impact, however the full assessment has not been completed yet.
These changes are not expected to have a significant financial impact, but will result in additional disclosure.
The Australian Accounting Standards and amendments detailed in the table above are not mandatory for IAG until the operative
dates stated, however, early adoption is permitted. IAG currently plans to apply the standards and amendments detailed above for
the reporting periods beginning on or after the operative dates set out above.
AASB 17 Insurance Contracts
IFRS 17, the new accounting standard for insurance contracts, was issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)
in May 2017 and adopted as AASB 17 by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) on 19 July 2017. AASB 17 aims to
establish consistent principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of all insurance and reinsurance
contracts. Since the standard was first issued, various implementation matters have been raised by stakeholders. Subsequently,
the IASB issued further amendments to the standard in June 2020 and December 2021, including delaying its effective date, which
for IAG means the standard is applicable to reporting periods from 1 July 2023. These amendments have since been adopted by
the AASB.
For IAG, AASB 17 replaces AASB 4 Insurance Contracts and AASB 1023 General Insurance Contracts. The first applicable reporting
period for IAG is for the year ending 30 June 2024, with a restated comparative period for the year ending 30 June 2023. IAG does
not intend to early adopt AASB 17.
IAG continues to assess the impact of the application of AASB 17, with the relevant key areas of consideration set out below.
(cid:4) Measurement models – AASB 17 introduces the general measurement model, also known as the building block approach,
which consists of fulfillment cash flows and a contractual service margin. The fulfillment cash flows represent the risk-
adjusted present value of an entity’s rights and obligations to the policyholders, comprising estimates of expected cash flows,
discounting, and an explicit risk adjustment for non-financial risk. The contractual service margin represents the unearned
profit from in-force contracts that an entity will recognise as it provides services over the coverage period. The contractual
service margin is earned based on a pattern of coverage units, reflecting the quantity of benefits provided, which may differ
from the pattern of incidence of risk used to earn gross written premium under AASB 1023. For contracts measured under the
general measurement model, AASB 17 is expected to have a significant impact on actuarial modelling as more granular cash
flow projections and regular updates of assumptions will be required.
The premium allocation approach is a simplified approach an entity may choose to adopt when certain criteria are met, either
where the liability for remaining coverage under the premium allocation approach is not expected to differ materially from that
under the general measurement model or the coverage period of contracts are less than one year. However, the general
measurement model remains applicable for the measurement of the liability for incurred claims, whereby all incurred claims
are subject to discounting and risk adjustment. In determining the cash flows used in the measurement of the liability for
incurred claims, IAG intends to consistently maintain the reserving approach currently adopted under AASB 1023. The
simplification relates to the measurement of the liability for remaining coverage, which is not disaggregated into fulfillment
cash flows and a contractual service margin, but rather is largely based on premium received. In this regard, the premium
allocation approach has similarities to the current accounting requirements for general insurance contracts under AASB 1023.
IAG intends to use, to the extent permissible by AASB 17, the premium allocation approach for both insurance and reinsurance
contracts. IAG is nearing completion of its detailed impact assessment and has indicatively determined that the Group is
expected to be eligible to apply the premium allocation approach to insurance contracts issued and to its non-proportional
reinsurance contracts held. This indicative outcome is based on the latest assessment undertaken and current portfolio mix.
A full eligibility assessment of the remaining contracts is in progress, with primary focus on determining the measurement
model applicable to IAG’s multi-year whole-of-account reinsurance contracts.
For groups of contracts that apply the premium allocation approach and have a coverage period of one year or less, AASB 17
provides an option to recognise any insurance acquisition costs as expenses when incurred. IAG does not currently intend to
apply this option and so continue to amortise acquisition costs over the coverage period of the related insurance contracts,
consistent with current accounting treatment under AASB 1023. This outcome is subject to IAG finalising its assessment.
(cid:4)
Level of aggregation and onerous contract losses (loss component) – Under AASB 17, measurement is not considered at the
individual contract level, but on the basis of portfolios which comprise contracts subject to similar risk and managed together.
These portfolios are further subdivided into specified measurement groups based on contracts concluded in annual cohorts
and on their profitability.
107
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
To determine if the contracts are onerous, the standard permits measurement of a group of contracts. All fulfilment cash flows
resulting from the rights and obligations under the insurance contracts must be considered and determined on a gross basis,
excluding the effect of reinsurance. As onerous contract testing will be performed at a more granular level than the current
Liability Adequacy Test (LAT) under AASB 1023, which is at the segment level, it will likely result in a higher transparency of
loss-making groups of contracts.
Risk adjustment – under AASB 17, the measurement of insurance contract liabilities will include a risk adjustment for non-
financial risk to reflect the compensation that the entity requires for bearing the uncertainty relating to the amount and timing
of future cash flows. For insurance contracts, this is the compensation required to be indifferent between either fulfilling a
liability that has a range of possible outcomes arising from non-financial risk and fulfilling a liability that will generate fixed
cash flows with the same expected present value as the insurance contracts. The risk adjustment replaces the concept of a
risk margin under AASB 1023, which reflects the inherent uncertainty in the central estimate of the present value of the
expected future payments. Similar to the risk margin, the risk adjustment includes the benefit of diversification.
The Standard does not prescribe techniques for estimating the risk adjustment but does offer guidance. The technique used,
and the corresponding confidence level associated with the methodology selected, will need to be disclosed. The finalisation of
the methodology for determining the risk adjustment, and the corresponding confidence level, is ongoing and subject to further
refinement and review. In addition, IAG continues to give due consideration to evolving industry interpretation.
Discount rates – AASB 17 requires that the estimates of expected cash flows that are used to measure either the liability for
remaining coverage, for contracts measured under the general measure model, or incurred claims are to be discounted to
reflect the time value of money and the financial risks related to those cash flows. This aligns to the requirements under the
existing standard, AASB 1023, as the cash flows underpinning the outstanding claims liability are currently discounted using
the risk-free rate. In addition, the standard also requires the discount rate to reflect the liquidity characters of the underlying
insurance contracts. The standard does not prescribe a methodology to determine either the discount rate or illiquidity
premium. The methodology and impact of reflecting illiquidity within discount rates is currently being determined.
Presentation and disclosure – AASB 17 will impact IAG’s consolidated financial statements compared with existing reporting
requirements, introducing substantial changes in both presentation of the statement of comprehensive income and balance
sheet, as well as more granular disclosure requirements.
In the statement of comprehensive income, AASB 17 will require the presentation of the insurance revenue and insurance
service expenses gross of reinsurance. For IAG, insurance revenue replaces gross earned premium and insurance service
expenses largely reflects the combination of claims expense, non-reinsurance related recoveries, commission expense and
underwriting expenses. Additionally, all changes in value because of either the effect of or change in the time value of money
or financial risk, will no longer form part of the insurance service result but will be recognised separately as either insurance
finance income or expenses.
On balance sheet, as all cash flows resulting from the rights and obligations under insurance and reinsurance contracts must
be taken into account under AASB 17, the related existing balance sheet items will no longer be presented separately.
Alternatively, the standard requires these associated balances to be combined into single line items for portfolios of insurance
or reinsurance contracts that are either in an asset or liability position.
In order to reconcile the movement in these insurance contract liabilities and reinsurance contract assets, the standard
requires detailed disclosures that presents the changes to each of the individual measurement components. The notes
covering the risks from insurance contracts are expected to remain broadly similar.
AASB 17 contains an option regarding recognition of a component of insurance finance income or expenses either in profit or
loss or other comprehensive income. IAG currently does not intend to apply the latter option and expects to recognise all
elements of insurance finance income or expenses in profit or loss. This aligns to the current approach under AASB 1023 and
would continue to ensure the most effective matching with valuation changes in the investment portfolio, which is measured at
fair value through profit or loss.
(cid:4)
Transition – On transition, IAG expects to apply the full retrospective approach to all insurance contracts, except to the extent
that it is impracticable to do so, in which case either a modified retrospective or fair value approach may be applied under
AASB 17. In practical terms, IAG currently anticipates adopting a full retrospective approach to contracts measured using the
premium allocation approach and, if applicable, the modified retrospective approach to contracts potentially measured using
the general measurement model. This position is dependent on the final outcome of the assessment to determine the
applicable measurement model for IAG’s multi-year whole-of-account reinsurance contracts.
Regulators, including the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) and Australian Taxation Office (ATO) are also considering
their response to the new standard and there continues to be market developments as a result of the evolving interpretations and
other changes. IAG continues to monitor these developments and to assess the financial impacts of these. On 13 December
2021, the APRA released a number of draft prudential standards with the purpose of integrating AASB 17 into the general
insurance capital and reporting frameworks. This was after seeking industry feedback to its discussion paper published in
November 2020. APRA's objective, throughout this consultation, has been to minimise undue burden on industry, and seek capital
neutrality where possible and appropriate. The final impact on capital requirements remains uncertain, pending release of the
amended prudential standards which are expected in the first half of the 2023 financial year.
1108 IAG ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Relevant to IAG's business in New Zealand, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) is conducting a 10-year post implementation
review of the Insurance (Prudential) Supervision Act, which includes a general review of the Solvency Standards and incorporates
initial proposals at integrating the New Zealand equivalent of AASB 17 into the Solvency Standards. The RBNZ issued an Exposure
draft of the interim Solvency Standard on 22 July 2021.
IAG has committed appropriate resources and effort into the implementation of AASB 17 since its issuance. A Group-wide program
of work remains ongoing, comprising a multi-disciplinary team. The implementation of the standard involves changes and
enhancements in technology, systems, and processes, particularly across IT, finance and actuarial. The program is responsible for
setting Group-wide accounting policies and developing application methodologies, establishing appropriate processes and controls,
sourcing required data and implementing actuarial and finance system changes. A Group-wide Steering Committee provides
governance oversight and strategic direction to the implementation program. A number of sub-committees are also in place to
provide governance over technical interpretation and accounting policy selection, design, and delivery of the program.
The requirements of AASB 17 are complex and IAG’s expectations noted above are subject to change as it continues to assess the
impact of the standard and interpretation developments. However, ultimately AASB 17 is not expected to change the underlying
economics or cash flows of IAG’s business but has the potential to impact profit emergence profiles. Alongside the qualitative
effects outlined above, IAG continues to assess the quantitative impact of the application of AASB 17, with the opening balances at
1 July 2022 currently being compiled in accordance with the standard. Although IAG’s AASB 17 implementation project has made
significant progress, as some material judgements are still under consideration and global interpretations remain pending, at this
time it is not practicable to reliably quantify the effects on IAG’s consolidated financial statements.
AASB 2021-5 (target amendments to AASB 112 Income taxes)
The Australian Accounting Standards Board have adopted targeted amendments in AASB 112 as issued by the IASB in IAS 12 with
an effective date of 1 January 2023 with comparatives adjusted.
The targeted amendments clarify how companies should account for deferred tax on certain transactions, which has an impact for
IAG with regards to how the deferred tax associated with leases should be treated on initial recognition. The targeted amendments
require that the deferred tax impacts are recognised at the same point as the initial recognition of the right-of-use asset and lease
liability of the lease under AASB 16. Whilst the financial impact is not expected to be significant there will be additional disclosures
of the deferred tax impact on initial recognition of a lease.

Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial
Report section of our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting
Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence
Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Report in Australia. We have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Key Audit Matters
The Key Audit Matters we identified are:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
Valuation of Gross outstanding claims liability
Valuation of Reinsurance and other recoveries on
outstanding claims
Valuation of Goodwill
Customer refunds provision
Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the
Financial Report of the current period.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
Financial Report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Valuation of Gross outstanding claims liability ($13,964 million)
Refer to Note 2.2 of the Financial Report
The Key Audit Matter
Valuation of Gross outstanding claims liability is a Key Audit
Matter due to the following factors:
How the matter was addressed in our audit
We involved our actuarial specialists and senior personnel with
industry experience. Our key procedures included:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
judgement is required by us to consider the central
estimate of the gross outstanding claims liability. This is a
significant estimate as the eventual outcomes of incurred,
but unsettled, claims at the balance sheet date are
inherently uncertain;
there is limited information available and a greater level of
uncertainty inherent in assessing the Group’s estimations
of claims which have been incurred by the balance sheet
date but have not yet been reported;
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
comparing the Group’s actuarial methodologies with the
methodologies applied in the industry, prior periods and the
requirements of the accounting standards;
evaluating the assumptions including loss ratios, claim
frequencies, average claim sizes, ultimate claims costs and
allowance for future claims inflation, by comparing these to
our expectations based on the Group’s historical
experience, our industry knowledge and externally
observable trends (e.g. APRA and regulatory statistics);

1111
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
judgement is required when considering the Group’s
application of historical experience of claims development
to determine current estimates. This includes the variability
between the original estimation and the ultimate
settlement of claims where there is a long time delay
between the claim being incurred and the ultimate
settlement. Examples include claims arising from Workers’
Compensation, Liability, Compulsory Third Party (CTP) and
the Canterbury earthquakes;
claims estimation uses an actuarial modelling process
which involves complex and subjective actuarial
methodologies, as well as judgements and assumptions
about future events and developments, both within and
external to the Group. Actuarial assumptions include loss
ratios, claim frequencies and average claim sizes, and
allowance for future claims inflation. Changes in
methodologies, judgements and assumptions can have
significant implications to the quantification of outstanding
claims liabilities, as outlined in Note 2.2 (D). There are
currently elevated inflationary pressures on claims costs
which are difficult to estimate. Judgement is required when
considering the use of recent experience to determine
outstanding claims liabilities;
judgement is required to assess the Group’s estimation of
the probability of claims arising from circumstances
connected with Business Interruption claims as a result of
the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes the judgement in
respect to the probability of special leave being granted and
applications to the High Court of Australia, the estimation of
potential losses on a probability-weighted basis and
assumptions on the level of economic losses to insured
businesses and industries;
judgement is required to assess the Group’s estimation of
the periods the claims are expected to be settled in;
the estimation of claims at year end relies on the integrity
of the underlying data, including claim payments and
individual estimates of unsettled claims, which is gathered
from a number of different systems; and
outstanding claims includes statistically determined risk
margins developed by the Group to make allowance for the
inherent uncertainty in estimating ultimate claim
settlements. The risk margins are included to achieve a
specified probability of adequacy for the total outstanding
claims reserves.
We involved actuarial specialists to supplement our senior audit
team members in assessing this key audit matter.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
comparing the prior year claims liability estimate to actual
experience in the current year. We used this information to
assess the current year’s actuarial assumptions applied in
the valuation;
evaluating scenario analyses prepared by the Group for the
estimation of insurance liabilities associated with Business
Interruption claims. This includes stress testing the
probabilities associated with special leave being granted
and policyholders ultimately being successful;
considering judgements by the Group to estimate the
period in which the claims will be settled by analysing
historical payment patterns and any significant changes;
assessing the risk margin parameters for significant
portfolios to external sources of data including published
statistics (e.g. APRA – published data), prior periods, our
industry knowledge and externally observable trends (e.g.
published data for large general insurance companies);
for certain classes of business, we independently projected
the gross outstanding claims liability by applying our own
actuarial assumptions. We used this re-projection to
compare our results to the Group’s estimates and
challenge significant differences;
testing key inputs such as claim payments and estimates of
unsettled claims in the valuation, financial records and
controls by:
!
testing accounting and actuarial controls, such as
reconciliations of key data. We involved our IT
specialists for testing data integrity risks within the
claims process and claims systems;
testing key controls (e.g. limits of authority or
segregation of duties) within the claims case estimates
and claims payments;
testing samples of claims case estimates and paid
claims to third party evidence (such as quotes or
invoices);
!
!
(cid:4)
assessing the disclosures in the financial report using our
understanding obtained from our testing and against the
requirements of the accounting standards.
Valuation of Reinsurance and other recoveries on outstanding claims ($7,886 million)
Refer to Note 2.2 of the Financial Report
The Key Audit Matter
The valuation of Reinsurance and other recoveries on
outstanding claims is a Key Audit Matter as:
(cid:4)
the Group has a complex range of significant reinsurance
contracts which are designed to protect its aggregate
exposure to catastrophic claim events. These reinsurance
contracts comprise of the whole-of-account quota share
arrangements, the catastrophe excess of loss program,
adverse development covers in the form of excess of loss
contracts, other quota share arrangements and other
agreements covering particular exposures, giving rise to our
evaluation of multiple features;
How the matter was addressed in our audit
In addition to the audit procedures undertaken to assess the
valuation of gross outstanding claims liability above, our
procedures included:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
testing a sample of key controls for entering reinsurance
arrangements;
testing the existence of reinsurance cover and the
recognition of a reinsurance recovery asset through
checking the scope and terms of a sample of underlying
contracts. We did this with reference to accounting
standards and our expectations based on past experience;

(cid:4)
(cid:4)
implicit dependence on the estimation of gross outstanding
claims; and
the reinsurance arrangements represent a significant
portion of assets.
The consideration of the accounting treatment across multiple
contracts, assessment of recoverability in line with the
reinsurance agreements, reinsurer counterparty credit
worthiness and capital strength requires significant effort by our
senior personnel.
Valuation of Goodwill ($2,823 million)
Refer to Note 5.1 of the Financial Report
The Key Audit Matter
Valuation of Goodwill is a Key Audit Matter as:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
judgement is involved by us in assessing the cash-
generating units identified by the Group; and
our evaluation involves judgement in relation to the Group’s
forecast cash flows and key forward looking assumptions,
in particular discount rates, risk premium, growth rates,
profit measures and terminal growth rates. We focused
specifically on those cash-generating units where there
were potential impairment indicators (e.g. performance
compared to budget).
The Group uses complex discounted cash flow models to
perform their annual testing of goodwill for impairment. The
models are manually developed, use adjusted historical
performance, and a range of internal and external sources as
inputs to the assumptions. Complex modelling using forward-
looking assumptions tends to be prone to greater risk for
potential bias, error and inconsistent application. These
conditions necessitate additional scrutiny by us, in particular to
address the objectivity of sources used for assumptions, and
their consistent applications.
We involved valuation specialists to supplement our senior audit
team members in assessing this key audit matter.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
evaluating a sample of reinsurance recoveries for whole-of-
account quota share contracts. We referred to the key
terms of the reinsurance contracts, and applied them to the
Group’s underlying claims estimates and paid claims data
to assess the reinsurance and other recoveries due. These
independently generated results were compared to the
amounts recognised by the Group;
assessing the recoverability of balances owed by reinsurer
counterparties by considering their credit worthiness and
capital strength, payment history of amounts and
evaluation of any indicators of disputes with counterparties;
assessing the disclosures in the financial report using our
understanding obtained from our testing and against the
requirements of the accounting standards.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
With the assistance of our valuation specialists, our procedures
included:
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
considering the appropriateness of the value in use method
applied by the Group in their annual testing of goodwill for
impairment against the requirements of the accounting
standards;
comparing the forecast cash flows contained in the
discounted cash flow models to Board approved budgets
and business plans;
assessing the accuracy of past budgets to actual cash flows
in order to challenge the Group’s current forecasts;
assessing the Group’s key assumptions used in the
discounted cash flow models such as discount rates, risk
premium, growth rates, profit measures and terminal
growth rates by comparing them to external, observable
metrics (e.g. GDP growth and inflation including forecasts
provided by Oxford Economics and IBIS World), historical
experience, our knowledge of the markets, and current
market practice;
performing sensitivity testing, using the Group’s models, to
evaluate the impact of varying key assumptions such as
growth rates and discount rates within a possible range.
This enabled us to critically challenge the Group’s
quantification of assumptions and focus our procedures to
the most sensitive assumptions;
evaluating the internally prepared discounted cash flow
model. This included assessing the integrity of the models
used, including the accuracy of the underlying formulas;
assessing the disclosures in the financial report using our
understanding obtained from our testing and against the
requirements of the accounting standards.
Customer Refunds Provision ($309 million)
Refer to Note 5.3(D) of the Financial Report
The Key Audit Matter
Customer refunds provision is a Key Audit Matter as:
(cid:4)
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our procedures included:
(cid:4)
judgement is involved in determining the existence of a
present obligation arising as a result of a past event against
the criteria in the accounting standards;
judgement is involved in determining a reliable estimate of
the amounts which may be paid based on available
information, including estimates of related costs;
customers may be impacted across multiple historic years,
with varying pricing implications, adding complexity to the
estimate of possible refunds;
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
obtaining an understanding of the Group’s processes for
estimating customer refund payments and associated
project costs;
enquiring with the Group regarding ongoing legal,
regulatory and other investigation into remediation
activities;
evaluating correspondence with relevant regulatory bodies
for consistency to the basis of estimation made by the
Group;

(cid:4)
potential for legal proceedings, further investigations, and
reviews from its regulators leading to a wider range of
estimation outcomes for us to consider.
These features and the significance of the remediation program
necessitates significant effort by our senior team members.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
evaluating the basis for recognition of a provision and
associated costs against the accounting standard AASB
137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent
Assets. We did this using our understanding of the matter,
records of its status and progress, and assessing these
against the recognition criteria of the accounting standard;
testing the valuation and accuracy of the provision by:
!
Assessing and challenging the method, data and key
assumptions against our experience;
Sample checking data accuracy to underlying systems;
Performing model integrity checks;
!
!
testing a sample of customer refund payments to internal
and third party evidence (such as refund letters and bank
reports) to test the movement in the provision during the
year;
testing completeness by evaluating where exposures may
have arisen based upon our knowledge and experience of
broader industry matters, the Group's documentation and
the current regulatory environment. We also checked the
features of these exposures against the criteria defining a
provision or a contingency in the accounting standards;
assessing the disclosures in the financial report using our
understanding obtained from our testing and against the
requirements of the accounting standards.
Other Information
Other Information is financial and non-financial information in Insurance Australia Group Limited’s annual reporting which is
provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors are responsible for the Other Information.
Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or
any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In doing so, we consider
whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the Financial Report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, and based on the work we
have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The Directors are responsible for:
(cid:4)
preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the
Corporations Act 2001;
implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a true and fair view and is
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
assessing the Group and Company's ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of the going concern basis of
accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Group and Company or to cease operations, or have no
realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report
Our objective is:
(cid:4)
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error; and
to issue an Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion.
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
(cid:4)
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian
Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Financial Report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards
Board website at https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf. This description forms part of our Auditor’s

registry, then IAG is obliged to deduct tax at the highest marginal tax rate (plus the Medicare levy) from the unfranked portion of any
dividend or interest payment.
Shareholders may also complete a number of transactions or request a form over the phone by contacting the share registry on
1300 360 688.
EMAIL ALERT SERVICE
Shareholders can register to receive an email alert advising of new IAG media releases, financial announcements or presentations.
Shareholders simply need to visit IAG's website at www.iag.com.au, click on the email alert button in the right-hand margin and
register their email address.
IAG has an email alert service that allows shareholders to choose to receive email alerts about specific subjects (annual meetings,
annual reports, careers information, company announcements, government submissions, results and sustainability reports).
EMAIL ENQUIRIES
If shareholders have a question, they can email their enquiry directly to IAG's share registry at iag@computershare.com.au. If their
question relates to an IAG company matter and the answer is not on IAG's website, they can email their question to
investor.relations@iag.com.au.
