Published on 21 April 2023 | Francesco Nagari
Global IFRS Insurance Leader at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu

The ninth episode in our series of on-demand IFRS 17 webcasts covers the determination of the contract boundary for contracts with guaranteed insurability.

In particular, this webcast covers a common scenario where the determination of the contract boundary is not straightforward, and judgement is necessary to conclude. Using a simplified fact pattern, we demonstrate how such judgment could be formed. The webcast also summarises Deloitte's practical considerations on this topic as they have emerged from our implementation work.

The webcast series delivered by Francesco Nagari, Deloitte's Global IFRS Insurance Leader and Liza Gonzalo, IFRS 17 Director, covers Deloitte's insights on the application of IFRS 17 requirements and related technical accounting issues emerging from the various IFRS 17 implementation projects supported by Deloitte.

This webcast is the eighth webcast in a series of on-demand IFRS 17 webcasts, which covers the IFRS Interpretation Committee's Agenda Decision (AD) on the accounting for a group of insurance contracts with cash flows in different currencies. The AD was approved by the IFRS Interpretations Committee for finalisation on 13 September 2022 and was discussed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) on 19 October 2022 with no objections on the publication of the AD.

In particular, the webcast covers the consideration of foreign exchange risks in the identification of portfolios of insurance contracts and the application of the interaction of IAS 21 and IFRS 17 requirements in measuring a group of contracts with multi-currency cash flows. The webcast uses a simple, but sufficiently comprehensive example to illustrate how the requirements in the AD play out. The webcast also summarises Deloitte's practical considerations on this topic as they have emerged from Deloitte implementation work to date.

Cancellation rights, payment terms and coverage obligations
– How to handle IFRS 17 complexity efficiently

Published on October 2022 | Francesco Nagari
Global IFRS Insurance Leader

In the webcast covers how IFRS 17 requirements mandate the accounting of economic substance over any legal form. This overarching principle is particularly important when we consider cancellation right, payment terms and coverage obligations. IFRS 17 focusses on the economic bargain between the insurer and the policyholder. Often the legal form of a contract must be overridden to represent economic reality and in particular the time dimension of rights and obligations.

The webcast will also provide viewers with Deloitte's practical considerations on this topic as they emerged from our implementation work to date.
