WHY YOU SHOULD I ATTEND?
IFRS 17 SOLVES THE COMPARISON PROBLEMS INTRODUCED BY IFRS 4, IT ESTABLISHES THE PRINCIPLES FOR THE RECOGNITION, MEASUREMENT, PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE OF INSURANCE CONTRACTS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE STANDARD. THE OBJECTIVE OF IFRS 17 IS TO ENSURE THAT AN ENTITY PROVIDES RELEVANT INFORMATION THAT FAITHFULLY REPRESENTS THOSE CONTRACTS. THIS INFORMATION GIVES A BASIS FOR USERS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO ASSESS THE EFFECT THAT INSURANCE CONTRACTS HAVE ON THE ENTITY’S FINANCIAL POSITION, FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND CASH FLOWS. THE NEW STANDARD IS A SIGNIFICANT TECHNICAL AND OPERATIONAL CHALLENGE, MUCH GREATER THAN THOSE PREVIOUSLY PRESENTED, AND THIS WILL HAVE A PERVASIVE IMPACT ON THE SYSTEMS, PEOPLE AND PROCESSES REQUIRED TO SUPPORT IFRS 17.
IFRS 17 WILL DRIVE GREATER TRANSPARENCY AND COMPARABILITY IN FINANCIAL REPORTING, LOWERING THE COST OF CAPITAL, AND ENHANCING EFFICIENCY IN THE FINANCE AND ACTUARIAL FUNCTIONS. SOME INSURERS ARE SCEPTICAL ABOUT THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS, WHILST AGILE, FORWARD-THINKING AND CONFIDENT INSURERS ARE PLANN ING TO CAPITALISE ON THESE DEVELOPMENTS TO ENHANCE THEIR OPERATIONAL AND TECHNICAL LANDSCAPE IN ORDER TO CAPITALISE ON CHANGE, SIMILARLY TO TRENDS SEEN WITHIN SOLVENCY II.
THE IMPLEMENTATION DATE IS APPROACHING FAST; IFRS 17 IS APPLICABLE FOR ACCOUNTING PERIODS COMMENCING 1 JANUARY 2021. THIS MEANS YOUR CONTRACTS; PROCESSES, IT SYSTEMS AND DATA MUST BE IN PLACE BY 1 JANUARY 2020 IN ORDER TO START PREPARING THE COMPARATIVE.
Who should attend?
Any insurance market professional, including technology, change and operations professionals, project and programme managers, brokers, underwriters, finance professionals. All persons working for a broker, underwriter, Lloyd’s the IUA and other trade associations can attend without charge.
