About this event

Ever wondered how an insurance company actually records its profit and loss? How the numbers end up in the balance sheet and the basics of what they mean?

This session is designed as a high-level introduction to accounting for insurance, suitable for anyone who wants to have a basic grasp of insurance accounting.

This is not another detailed session on the technical ins and outs of IFRS 17, but will give you enough to understand the essentials of insurance accounting.
