Most IFRS 17 control designs fail at audit time because evidence trails are reactive. This course makes them proactive.

The situation this course is for

Teams spend months rebuilding IFRS 17 controls only to face audit delays, incomplete sign-off, or rework due to misaligned data sources. This undermines credibility and sidelines risk leaders from capital conversations.

Who this is for

Senior risk and compliance leaders in insurance who own or influence IFRS 17 control design, data governance, and financial audit readiness

Who this is not for

Entry-level auditors, non-insurance practitioners, or those without influence over financial reporting controls

What you walk away with

  • Design IFRS 17 control frameworks that pass audit scrutiny on first submission
  • Align actuarial, finance, and IT teams using structured control mapping templates
  • Document evidence trails that anticipate auditor follow-ups
  • Reduce control rework cycles by over 50 with standardized documentation patterns
  • Position yourself as the internal authority on IFRS 17 data assurance
