Since IFRS 17 was issued in May 2017, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has been monitoring its implementation. It has been made aware of 25 concerns and implementation challenges. Among them are the issues identified in the letter sent by the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) in early September. The IASB previously indicated that it would consider whether additional action is needed to address the matters arising from the implementation of IFRS 17.

The IASB's discussions at its meeting on Wednesday, 24 October was a first step in this assessment process.

On Thursday, November 1, Francesco Nagari, Deloitte's Global IFRS Insurance Leader and a member of the IFRS 17 TRG, will summarize the Board's discussion and its rationale of the application of its criteria in assessing if any of the concerns warrant an amendment to IFRS 17. At the end of the webcast, participants are invited to join in a live Q&A session.
