IFRS 17: Turning Compliance Into an Opportunity

About this paper

IFRS 17 (previously known as IFRS 4 phase II) − part of the International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board − will improve financial reporting by providing more transparent, comparable information about:

The effect of issued insurance contracts on financial performance.
How entities earn profits or incur losses through underwriting services and investment of premiums.
The nature and extent of risks created when issuing insurance contracts.
