In a bold move to empower insurance professionals and stakeholders worldwide, Shasat has launched its highly anticipated "IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts: Actuarial Understanding" program. This comprehensive initiative, set to debut in 2023, is designed to equip participants with the essential knowledge and expertise to navigate the complexities of the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 17.

The IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts standard, slated to take effect on January 1, 2023, marks a pivotal departure from the previous IFRS 4, which had been in place since 2004. This new standard seeks to provide investors and stakeholders with enhanced transparency regarding insurers' risk profiles, profitability, and financial positions. However, the transition to IFRS 17 has proven to be a formidable challenge for insurers and investors alike, necessitating significant resource allocation to adapt accounting practices and meet the standard's rigorous data requirements.

At the core of IFRS 17 are actuarial modeling, risk adjustment spread, discounting, CSM (Contractual Service Margin) amortizations, reinsurance contracts held, and various other intricate actuarial challenges. This principle-based standard presents companies with a range of choices, emphasizing the importance of informed decision-making.

Shasat's "IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts: Actuarial Understanding" workshop is uniquely positioned in the global landscape. It distinguishes itself as the world's first program solely dedicated to unraveling the actuarial complexities arising from the implementation of IFRS 17. While many courses touch upon broader aspects of IFRS 17, Shasat's workshop delves deep into actuarial intricacies, providing participants with unparalleled insights and guidance. This specialized focus ensures that participants are equipped with the most relevant and comprehensive knowledge to surmount the unique actuarial challenges posed by IFRS 17.

Shasat's commitment to providing accessible education extends across the globe, with a series of program dates and locations to cater to diverse audiences. Here is the schedule of upcoming programs by Shasat. However, we recommend you continue to visit Shasat's website for the most up-to-date program schedules.
