Full title of webinar: IFRS 17 in 2026: Implementation Readiness, Lessons Learned and What’s Next.

This webinar covers a regional, practice-oriented view of IFRS 17 readiness and execution across the MEASA region (Middle East, Africa, and South Asia). We will explore where we currently stand in 2026, focusing on common themes such as governance frameworks, model validation, and systems readiness. Drawing on selected country-specific experiences, including markets moving into first-year application and those approaching go-live, the session will highlight how regulators and local actuarial societies, particularly in African markets, have guided implementation and offer practical insights from both pre-implementation efforts and early post-implementation realities. We will also address how we can move forward beyond 2026. This webinar is for actuaries, actuarial teams, finance professionals, and other supporting roles working with IFRI reporting requirements and IFRS 17 reporting standards applicable to insurance products. If you are an IFRS implementer, regardless of your stage of implementation, or an IFRS practitioner, this session is for you. Come learn about the resources from the SOA that can support your work, including an IFRI Certificate that offers recognition of your skills and knowledge in this area. There will be an opportunity to ask questions in the Q & A part of the session. Learning Objectives By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to: 1. Describe the state of IFRS 17 implementation readiness across the MEASA region in 2026. Identify next steps and SOA professional resources — including the IFRI Certificate — to support ongoing IFRS 17 and IFRI reporting work.
