The Introduction to Insurance Accounting for Non-Accounting Professionals course is designed for professionals but non- accountants new to the insurance industry and who need an understanding of insurance accounting principles in their roles.

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.

The industry specific courses offered by the FSAA delve into more detail into the application of AASB 17 – Insurance Contracts and management and statutory reporting relevant to each of the industry segments – general, life and health.

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 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.
