Sept. 19, 2017
Noon-1:30 p.m. EDT

This past May, after a 20-year journey, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued their final standard on accounting for insurance contracts – IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts. This webinar featured speakers from the Academy’s IFRS 17 Work Group and provides an in-depth look at this standard and what it does through a long-duration contracts perspective.
 
During the webinar, speakers:

• Discuss who will be affected by these changes;
• Provide a comparison to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles;
• Introduce the liability models; and
• Explain the new format of the income statement and disclosures. 

Content will cover both introductory material and include some more advanced examples.
