IFRS 17 heralds the most significant transformation in insurance accounting practices in decades. The landmark regulation mandates extensive changes in measuring insurance contracts, but also introduces formidable challenges in financial reporting, governance and processes. EY teams can help you navigate this journey at every stage – from IFRS 17 compliance to future-proof finance function.
