IASB minor amendment to transition requirements for insurers applying IFRS 17 and 9 for the first time

The IASB has proposed a narrow-scope amendment to the transition requirements in IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts. The proposed amendment does not affect any other requirements in IFRS 17.

The proposed narrow-scope amendment to IFRS 17 would enable insurers to address this issue by giving them an option to present comparative information for certain financial assets in a manner consistent with IFRS 9.

The Exposure Draft is open for comment for 60 days, with the comment period closing on 27 September.
