Webinar discussing the data and system challenges of transition, and lessons learnt from other new IFRS accounting standards.

Transition is often viewed as one of the more challenging aspects of IFRS17. With a direct impact on the balance sheet and future profits for insurance companies, the choice of which transition approach to use is material.

Various options for transition are available: Fully Retrospective, Modified Retrospective and Fair Value, but deciding which approach to take will be based on several factors including systems, data, accounting policies and audit judgement.

IFRS17 requires you to separate the accounting for ceded reinsurance, as opposed to previous reporting standards where underlying insurance and reinsurance contracts could be bundled together. Several areas are particularly challenging in measuring reinsurance contracts such as netting of cashflows, pre-coverage cashflows and defining the contract boundary.
