This course will be held online via Zoom - the expectation is that participants' cameras are left on to best replicate a classroom environment.  

The Introduction to Insurance Accounting for Accounting Professionals course is designed for professional accountants new to the insurance industry and who need an understanding of insurance accounting principles in their roles within the Finance Team.  The purpose of the course is to equip participants with an understanding of the insurance industry, insurance accounting principles and the application of these principles to statutory and management reporting and to provide a high-level view of regulation of the insurance industry.  This course is split into 6 modules and an assessment to check learning outcomes:  Introduction to insurance; Insurance terminology; The insurance cycle; Accounting Standards Framework and AASB 17 – Insurance Contracts; Management reporting; Regulation of the insurance industry.  The Course Assessment will help to reinforce learning.

The modules provide participants with an understanding of the industry by reviewing how the industry works, the terminology used in the industry, the basic control cycles and then moving into the insurance accounting requirements of the Accounting Standards Board, reporting required by management and the regulatory environment within which insurers operate.
