This series consists of working papers and financial summaries (1927-1945) used to create Southern Life’s Annual Statement, a comprehensive accounting report submitted to state Insurance Departments. In addition, the series also contains eighty-one copies (1927-1977, 1987) of the report itself, including drafts, final printed versions, mid-year statements and statements concerning the Company’s participation in Servicemen’s Group Life Insurance under a reinsurer program. The Annual Statement was used by state government administrators to measure the solvency of insurance companies doing business within a particular state. It provides voluminous financial information on Southern Life’s assets, liabilities, investment, and lines of business.
