To learn more about IFRS 17, read KPMG’s publication, Insurance Contracts First Impressions, which includes our insights and detailed analysis of the effects of IFRS 17. It is the combination of a predominant mindset, actions (both big and small) that we all commit to every day, and the underlying processes, programs and systems supporting how work gets done. Helping clients meet their business challenges begins with an in-depth understanding of the industries in which they work.
Because these accounts don’t require minimum deposits, you don’t need to transfer funds at this stage, though this is something you’ll often be asked to do when opening a bank account. Still, some accounts require you to have a positive balance within a certain number of days of opening.

Impact: US companies
This risk is due to the fact that insurance companies are wagering that only a small number of policyholders are going to need to collect on their coverage amounts and that their revenue from policy sales will cover these payouts. However, if the payouts exceed the amount of liquid assets the company has, it may have to file bankruptcy and potentially even be dissolved completely. By recognizing acquisition expenses before the premium insurance accounting income is fully earned, an insurance company is required to absorb those expenses in its policyholders’ surplus. This appears to reduce the surplus available at the inception of a policy to pay unexpected claims under that policy. In effect, surplus calculated this accounting system requires an insurer to have a larger safety margin in its policyholder surplus levels to be able to fulfill its obligation to those policyholders.
Insurance companies have less than three years to adopt IFRS 17 but a soft design approach can help. We shared stories of the varied ways companies around the world are tackling their IFRS 17 programmes, and discuss some of the issues that have arisen along the way. We also provided news of the latest developments at the IASB and the Transition Resource Group.
