Avoid last-minute rework in IFRS 17 model validation caused by fragmented data lineage
The situation this course is for
Teams spend 40% of the reporting cycle chasing traceability gaps between actuarial models and source systems. Even minor misalignments trigger review loops, delaying sign-off and increasing internal audit scrutiny. The root cause? Outputs built fast but not built right.
Who this is for
Lead Enterprise or Solutions Architect in insurance or financial services, accountable for the technical integrity of regulatory reporting systems
Who this is not for
Actuaries focused only on model logic, data analysts without system design ownership, or project managers without technical depth
What you walk away with
- Design IFRS 17-compliant data architectures with built-in traceability from day one
- Produce model documentation that passes internal and external review the first time
- Reduce rework cycles by standardising output structure across actuarial and engineering teams
- Align technical delivery with auditor expectations using pre-validated templates
- Lead cross-functional alignment without over-relying on manual reconciliation
