Information Provided In Connection With Outstanding Debt Of Subsidiaries [Abstract]  
Information provided in connection with outstanding debt of subsidiaries
Information provided in connection with outstanding debt of subsidiaries

The following tables present condensed consolidating financial information at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 for ACE Limited (Parent Guarantor) and ACE INA Holdings, Inc. (Subsidiary Issuer). The Subsidiary Issuer is an indirect 100 percent-owned subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor. The Parent Guarantor fully and unconditionally guarantees certain of the debt of the Subsidiary Issuer.
 
During the third quarter of 2013, we determined that the Subsidiary Issuer columns presented in the previously issued condensed consolidating financial information should be presented on the equity method of accounting rather than on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, we have revised the disclosure to correct the Condensed Consolidating Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income and the Condensed Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013. As a result of this revision to the Subsidiary Issuer condensed consolidating financial information, revenues and expenses and cash flows of the subsidiaries of ACE INA Holdings, Inc. (Subsidiary Issuer) are now presented in the Other ACE Limited Subsidiaries column on a combined basis. In addition, we revised the Consolidating Adjustments and Eliminations column to correctly include all intercompany eliminations. Previously, this column reflected only ACE Limited parent company intercompany eliminations. We also revised the Condensed Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to correct the presentation of negative cash associated with our affiliated notional cash pooling programs (Pools). In addition, certain items in the Condensed Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. Also, the operating cash flows have been corrected to properly reflect certain intercompany transactions previously recorded in financing cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Total shareholders' equity and net income of the Subsidiary Issuer and Parent Guarantor were not impacted as a result of these revisions. The impact of the revisions was not material to the prior period consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. There was no impact on the consolidated amounts previously reported.

ACE maintains two notional multicurrency cash pools (Pools) with a third-party bank. Various ACE entities participate in one or the other of the Pools, pursuant to which credit and debit balances in individual ACE accounts are translated daily into a single currency and pooled on a notional basis. Individual ACE entities are permitted to overdraw on their individual accounts provided the overall Pool balances do not fall below zero. At March 31, 2014, the cash balance of one or more entities was negative; however, the overall Pool balances were positive.

ACE maintains two notional multicurrency cash pools (Pools) with a third-party bank. Various ACE entities participate in one or the other of the Pools, pursuant to which credit and debit balances in individual ACE accounts are translated daily into a single currency and pooled on a notional basis. Individual ACE entities are permitted to overdraw on their individual accounts provided the overall Pool balances do not fall below zero. At December 31, 2012, the cash balance of one or more entities was negative; however, the overall Pool balances were positive.
