Vanity Ltd is an insurance company that purchases insurance called reinsurance

Once its insured losses are incurred, Vanity files claims with reinsurers, which are then recorded as an asset, reinsurance recoverable The following information is taken from Vanity Ltds financial statements: Reinsurance recoverable is presented net of a valuation allowance for uncollectible reinsurance determined based
upon a review of the financial condition of reinsurers and other factors. The valuation allowance for uncollectible
reinsurance is based on an estimate of the reinsurance recoverable balance that will ultimately be unrecoverable due
to reinsurer insolvency, a contractual dispute, or any other reason.
