The IFRS 17 accounting standard represents a notable change for insurers in more than 100 countries. Originally, the standard was to have taken effect in the 2021 reporting year. However, the International Accounting Standards Board (the Board) has decided to delay the effective date until the 2023 reporting year.
Until then, for insurers, the first crucial step to implementation is understanding the significant change IFRS 17 creates for reporting, data, and accounting systems across the organization before selecting the right tools to deal with these changes. The next step for insurers in their implementation journey is to use this extra time to focus on specific goals, recognize the challenges, and develop a plan to ensure successful implementation.
