Annual Accounting Update 2021/2022
Presenters : Caryn Maitland CA(SA)
Overview
As the world around us changes, and what never was becomes the new normal, are there any financial reporting standards that might have slipped under the radar while we focused on how to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic?
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts came online last year. This Standard is deceiving as many think that it only applies to those in financial services. Quite the opposite is true as the concepts within it relate to the general principles of offering insurance even for those that mat may not be aware they are in the insurance game!
