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

  • 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.
