The IASB and AASB have issued the final IFRS 17 Standard, so it's time for insurers to ensure that the implementation journey is well progressed. To assist with your implementation journey, the FSAA is holding another conference in 2020 completely dedicated to IFRS 17. Over 14 hours, we will examine some of the concepts of IFRS 17 in-depth, hear about the implementation journey of some insurers, hear from the regulators, and follow a case study that is specific to each insurance type to give you some ideas on implementing IFRS 17.
Held via Zoom and starting at midday each day, the IFRS 17 Virtual Conference 2020 will be interactive and conducted with modular, bite-sized sessions held over five days from Monday 23 to Friday 27 November.
A one-hour Introduction to IFRS 17 will be held on Friday 20 November for those that are either new to this process or may have missed our 2019 conference.
