Who this is for
Senior financial or compliance practitioner operating at the intersection of regulation, platform systems, and cross-functional delivery, who needs to lead with technical credibility on IFRS 17 without being an actuary or accountant.
Who this is not for

What you walk away with
- Navigate the full IFRS 17 standard with confidence, including measurement models and transition options
- Anticipate and respond to auditor and regulator questions using the framework’s own logic
- Translate complex requirements into actionable implementation tracks for technical teams
- Lead cross-functional alignment without relying on subject matter silos
- Own end-to-end delivery narratives from first principles to final disclosures
