IFRS 17 has transformed insurance financial reporting around the world, but Latin American markets are at different stages of adoption and implementation. IFRS 17 implementation continues to reflect the region’s diversity as there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Local regulatory environments, supervisory priorities, market maturity, and resource constraints have all shaped how insurers and actuaries have approached the standard.
This webinar will provide an overview of the IFRS 17 standard and explore its practical implications for insurers in Latin America, with a particular focus on current practice and industry experience. We will examine notable successes and obstacles that have been overcome, and share practical lessons learned from early adopters and late movers alike. Finally, we will look ahead to see how we move forward. What should actuarial and finance teams focus on as implementation stabilizes, reporting matures, and expectations from regulators and stakeholders continue to evolve?
This webinar is for actuaries, actuarial teams, and other supporting roles working with IFRI reporting requirements and IFRS 17 reporting standards applicable to insurance products. The discussion will be of interest to actuaries and other professionals working in or with insurance companies, especially in Latin America and other Spanish-speaking markets, including those in life, general insurance (P&C), health, and reinsurance. The content is suitable for a wide range of experience levels, from early-career to senior practitioners with responsibility for financial reporting, valuation, or risk management under IFRS 17. If you are an IFRS 17 implementer regardless of the stage of implementation or an IFRS 17 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 of this area. All participants will receive a free collection of resources on IFRS 17. There will be an opportunity to ask questions in the Q & A part of the session. The webinar will be conducted in English with an option to submit questions in English or Spanish.
