IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts: What Supervisors Need to Know

TC note discusses amendments to IFRS

Toronto Centre Note covers the amendments to IFRS 17 issued in June 2020 (see Appendix 1) and the plans that insurance supervisors need to develop and implement to facilitate a smooth transition to IFRS 17. It is based upon the final Standard as amended and a review of publicly-available resources to glean the insights of insurers and professionals involved in the implementation of IFRS 17. This Note discusses: i) how the key features of the Standards have been designed to meet the IASB's objectives; ii) the potential implications for insurers applying IFRS 17; iii) considerations of the adoption of IFRS 17 for regulatory and supervisory purposes based on the guidance of the Insurance Core Principles (ICPs) of the IAIS; and iv) the need for supervisors to understand the impact and steps to ensure preparedness and adequate supervisory oversight of transition and implementation.
