Reach IFRS_17_INSURANCE readiness without rebuilding your policy programme
IFRS 17 replaced IFRS 4 as the IASB's accounting standard for insurance contracts. Introduces a current measurement model (General Measurement Model — GMM) with Variable Fee Approach (VFA) for direct participating contracts + Premium Allocation Approach (PAA) simplification for short-duration contracts. Requires presentation of insurance revenue + insurance service expense separately from investment + financing components. Required by IFRS-reporting insurers including most EU + UK + Canadian + Australian insurance groups. US insurers continue under US GAAP (LDTI for long-duration contracts). Quick Policy maps IFRS_17_INSURANCE into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs — and keeps it current between audits.

Why IFRS_17_INSURANCE matters for your operating model

- • Directly shapes policy families including Financial Reporting, Accounting Policy, Actuarial — these are the artefacts assessors open first.
- • Common artifacts include Policy.
- • Obligation model: Mandatory In Scope — meaning you need defensible reasoning for in-scope vs out-of-scope decisions, not just signed policies.
