Overview

IFRS 17 is the long awaited replacement to IFRS 4 which was a temporary standard issued in 2004 to coincide with the introduction of IFRS Standards for EU listed entities and which permits a wide variety of accounting treatments for insurance contracts.

IFRS 17 was originally scheduled to be effective for periods commencing on/after 1 January 2021, although the effective date has now been delayed to 1 January 2022.

The objective of IFRS 17 is to provide increased transparency of the profitability of insurance companies, and to provide enhanced comparability between the financial statements of insurance companies worldwide.
