Course Overview

The insurance industry is undergoing a fundamental shift in financial reporting with the implementation of International Financial Reporting Standard 17 (IFRS 17), which replaces the long-standing IFRS 4. IFRS 17 introduces a comprehensive and consistent accounting model for insurance contracts, aimed at improving transparency, comparability, and financial insight for investors and regulators.

This course is designed to equip finance, accounting, actuarial, and audit professionals with the knowledge and practical skills needed to prepare financial statements in full compliance with IFRS 17. It also focuses on understanding the transition from IFRS 4, addressing the significant changes in measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements that come with the new standard.

Participants will gain a solid understanding of the core components of IFRS 17, including the General Measurement Model (GMM), Premium Allocation Approach (PAA), and Variable Fee Approach (VFA). Emphasis will be placed on the preparation of financial statements, including balance sheets, income statements, cash flows, and note disclosures, with detailed comparisons between IFRS 4 and IFRS 17.

Key Takeaways:
• A deep understanding of IFRS 17 concepts and models
• Practical skills in preparing IFRS 17-compliant financial statements

IN HOUSE AND ONLINE TRAINING

While both In-House and Online training can present with cost-effectiveness and time-efficacy, there are some very specific differences between in-house courses and those based online.

The demand for additional courses by individuals or groups of people is increasing. Still, it depends entirely on the preferences of a person what type of training he or she wants to receive. Online courses and in-house training carry some similarities but they are considered to exhibit some very pivotal differences too. Despite that, both types of learning can be really beneficial for attendees.
