IFRS 17 for General Insurers

This Working Party (previously IFRS 4 Phase II) examines the implications of the accounting changes on general insurers and, in particular, on the work carried out by actuaries

The IFRS 17 for General Insurance Working Party's objectives are to:

  • raise awareness of what the changes to the IFRS accounting requirements will mean for actuarial practice, particularly for those working in General Insurance
  • encourage debate on how the requirements can be implemented effectively and pragmatically
  • produce materials to help other actuaries understand the requirements and how they might be implemented.

    For life insurers in the UK, the risk margin is one of the most controversial aspects of the Solvency II regime. Following its implementation, the risk margin came under considerable criticism for being too large and too sensitive to interest rate movements. These criticisms are particularly valid for annuity business – such business is of great significance to the national system for retirement provision. This criticism has led to political interest, and the risk margin was a major element of the Treasury Committee inquiry into Solvency II.
