Description: The tape has finally been broken on live reporting with International Financial Reporting Standard 17 (IFRS 17). The insurance industry across much of the world now pivots focus from implementation efforts to assessing disclosed impacts of the new global standard. During this session, the presenters will explore how equity positions are changing for companies after adopting IFRS 17, particularly given the recent interest rate environment.

Description: IFRS 17 will be effective as of 1 Jan 2023 and provide opportunities as well as challenges to both Direct Writers and Reinsurers across the insurance industry. If the new framework is not fully understood, an implementation can elevate the risk of problems in financial reporting, product development, investment management and more. The transition to IFRS provides an opportunity for companies to optimize the financial position of the enterprise by implementing mitigating strategies to reduce the risks and challenges that IFRS brings to the table.

Description: Following the success of our first webcast on IFRS 17 implementation in the GCC, we are excited to announce the second installment, which will take place on September 26. This time, we will have a new panel of experts representing the actuarial, finance, and IT functions. The journey towards IFRS 17 implementation has been complex, but it has also brought these three functions closer together, creating a true team effort. The SOA has been a committed partner in this journey, providing in-depth technical support to the industry. Our IFRI Certificate program has been well-received around the world, and we have also delivered several webcasts on the topic, including a three-part series with simultaneous translation to Arabic. This webcast is the second part of our three-part series on the implementation of IFRS 17, which went into effect on January 1, 2023. The series will focus on the lessons learned, challenges, and best practices that have been experienced in the GCC. The third and final discussion will take place in person during the SOA's Regional Symposium in Riyadh on November 19-20. We hope you will join us for this important discussion.
