Course Description:

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts, the new global standard for insurance contracts, presents a fundamental shift in financial reporting within the insurance industry. Directors in an insurance company reporting under IFRS 17 have a multifaceted role that encompasses oversight, governance, strategic decision-making, stakeholder communication, risk management, and continuous monitoring. By fulfilling these responsibilities effectively, directors can help ensure that the company adapts to the requirements of IFRS 17 and maintains confidence among stakeholders in its financial reporting and operations.

To ensure that directors are equipped with the necessary understanding and insights into IFRS 17, our course is designed to provide board members with a high-level understanding of IFRS 17 and its impact on financial reporting, risk management, and strategic decision-making within insurance companies. More specifically, this course focuses on:

• The core principles of IFRS 17

• Stakeholder communication
