The Actuarial Society of Hong Kong Presents
11-12 September 2017
InterContinental Grand Stanford
Hong Kong
Twenty years in the making, IFRS 17 published by the IASB on May 18 will radically
change financial reporting for insurers. All actuaries working in the insurance field
will need to be familiar with the new framework. For the second year, the Actuarial
Society of Hong Kong is proud to present a seminar on IFRS for insurers aimed
specifically at actuaries in Asia. This seminar is specially designed for actuaries
who are responsible for financial reporting in compliance with the International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) or who need to be familiar with IFRS reporting
as part of their work.
Besides an entirely new profit recognition model, new financial reporting format
and elaborate disclosures, the new standard is expected to require new models,
systems, and processes and may influence the development of future products and
investment strategies. The clock is now ticking for insurers who need to begin
reporting on this new basis by 2021.
The new standard, along with the basis for conclusions and illustrative examples is
several hundred pages in length. Over the course of 2 days, a diverse panel of
industry experts will take you through this guidance in the form of lectures and
interactive workshops. Topics will cover the accounting models, discounting, risk
adjustments, profit recognition, financial statement presentation, disclosures and
transition considerations.
