IFRS 17 for Insurance Contracts brings a considerable challenge in the way insurance contracts need to be treated. There is a heavy reliance on actuarial calculations which means there is a need for significant alignment between actuarial, finance and IT functions.
The standard has significant implications on technology and the state of the current architecture, especially where there are significant legacy and hangovers from acquisitions. By leveraging the standard, insurance firms can not only process and analyse current and historical data but also see the impact on the CSM (Contractual Service Margin) under the three different methods- General Measurement Model (GMM), Premium Allocation Approach (PAA) and Variable Fee Approach (VFA).
Even with the extension of the deadline to January 2022, that standard would have significant implications on management, strategy and IT systems, as well as on P&L and P&L volatility. The transition from IFRS 4 to IFRS 17 will be complex.
During the webinar, we will discuss:
- Consolidating and managing data across Actuarial and Finance
