Struggling to align actuarial modeling, financial reporting, and systems integration under IFRS 17?

The situation this course is for

IFRS 17 introduces unprecedented complexity in insurance contract accounting, requiring seamless coordination between technical actuarial work, financial statement integrity, and system capabilities. Misalignment leads to delayed closes, regulatory scrutiny, and rework cycles.

Who this is for

Senior financial reporting specialist or compliance lead at a global financial institution implementing IFRS 17

Who this is not for

Entry-level accountants, auditors focused solely on SOX 404, or professionals outside insurance-linked financial reporting

What you walk away with

  • Define and lock IFRS 17 implementation scope without escalation
  • Approve key modeling assumptions used in quarterly disclosures
  • Structure cross-functional reporting timelines adopted by actuarial and finance teams
  • Finalize disclosure templates reviewed by external auditors
  • Lead internal training rollout for IFRS 17 interpretation across departments
