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.
