Join our expert speakers, who will discuss the new standard that is set to fundamentally change insurers' profit reporting.

Annual report
The 2016/2017 IFoA annual report and accounts are freely available to view online. Our work over the past year has moved us towards our goal of becoming a more dynamic, forward-thinking professional body, a profession that generates ideas that others listen to and talk about, and a 'go-to' body for other decisionmakers and influencers.
This has helped us to achieve our vision and supported the delivery of our recently refreshed strategy.
