Program Overview: What is IFRS 17 and Insurance Accounting Corporate Training?
IFRS 17 & Insurance Accounting Corporate Training is a hands-on training program for insurance finance, actuarial, and accounting teams implementing the standard. The program covers IFRS 17 foundations and scope, the general measurement model, grouping and initial recognition, subsequent measurement and CSM release, and VFA, PAA, and transition approaches. Participants work across six modules over 24 hours.
Learning is built around guided labs using realistic insurance portfolios. Participants build measurement models, apply grouping rules, calculate contractual service margins, and draft transition journals. Instructors with insurance accounting experience review every model, challenge measurement choices with learners, and coach through disclosure preparation. The program closes with a five-hour capstone where each team completes an IFRS 17 transition and builds financial statements.
IFRS 17 rewrote the rules for insurance accounting, and many finance teams are still catching up. Measurement models live in spreadsheets, CSM calculations confuse auditors, and transition deadlines keep moving closer. This program gives teams the technical grounding to implement the standard with confidence and defend their numbers.
Each team finishes the capstone with a completed transition exercise: grouped contracts, measured liabilities, released CSM, and draft financial statements for a sample portfolio. They go back with working models their auditors can trace, and the judgment to keep them right as the standard evolves.
Across six modules, your team moves from IFRS 17 foundations to a full transition build: classifying contracts in scope, measuring fulfilment cash flows, allocating and releasing the contractual service margin, applying the variable fee and premium allocation approaches, and assembling audit-ready financial statements. Every module includes guided labs using insurance datasets, and the capstone brings actuarial, finance, and systems data together for an instructor-reviewed readiness review.

Build IFRS 17 Reporting Skills Through Measurement and Reconciliation Practice
Edstellar connects insurance accounting judgments with the models and records supporting IFRS 17 reporting. Participants classify portfolios, calculate fulfilment cash flows, and track contractual service margins before comparing measurement and transition approaches. The final statement build is reviewed for consistent grouping, transparent assumptions, reconciled movements, and explanations of the selected accounting treatments.
- Step 01
Consult
We assess insurance-product and reporting familiarity, identifying gaps in scope, contract grouping, CSM movements, or reconciling IFRS 17 measurement and transition effects.
- Step 02
Plan
Scope and general measurement foundations lead into grouping and recognition, subsequent measurement, and VFA, PAA, and transition cases before the statement-build capstone.
- Step 03
Align
We align insurance accounting expertise with finance, actuarial, audit, and reporting roles, confirming relevant product lines and a shared basis for measurement calculations.
- Step 04
Customize
Sample insurance portfolios and cash-flow assumptions reflect familiar products, allowing teams to compare grouping and measurement choices without exposing confidential contracts or actuarial data.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants calculate risk adjustments, roll forward CSM, and reconcile transition impacts, receiving feedback on assumptions, onerous-group decisions, revenue calculations, and supporting journals.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the transition and statement package for justified scope and measurement choices, consistent CSM movements, reconciled figures, and documentation that explains significant accounting judgments.
