The Life Board and Life ECPD Sub-committee are running a one-day workshop on IFRS 17 on 14 September. 

Who should attend?

All actuaries working in the Life practice area. This event may also be of cross practice interest to actuaries with a life background and who might work with IFRS 17 in a Pensions, F&I, Risk or Health and Care setting.

The Life Board and Life ECPD Sub-committee are running a one-day workshop on IFRS 17 on 14 September. 

The IASB finally issued the IFRS 17 standard in May, after a gestation period of 20 years. The Standard proposes fundamental changes to how insurance contracts will be valued, and to how the performance of Insurance companies will be valued.

In this seminar, we will provided a detailed understanding of the key concepts of the standard, as well as thought provoking sessions on how implementation will impact people, process and systems. we will also share views on how the new standard will change the way insurers are viewed in the market, and share perspectives from within and outside of the profession.
