Jul 05, 2018
On July 5, 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board (the Board) published the article "Reducing the gap between insurance and other industries" by IASB® member Gary Kabureck.
The article outlines the similarities between IFRS 17 and other IFRS® Standards as regards the measurement of obligations at current value and the recognition of revenue as a company provides services to its customers. It concludes that the changes introduced by IFRS 17 will enable a wider range of users to understand insurers’ financial statements and compare them with the financial statements of companies within and outside the insurance industry.
