IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Enhancing Financial Consistency for Insurance Companies

In the dynamic world of insurance, where risk management is at the forefront, International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS 9) is a critical tool for insurance companies. Finsuratech LLP understands the unique challenges and opportunities that IFRS 9 presents in the context of insurance, and our specialized services are designed to assist insurance companies in achieving financial consistency and transparency.

Our IFRS 9 Services for Insurance Companies:

  • Classification and Measurement:

For insurance companies, the proper classification of financial instruments is paramount. We collaborate closely with insurance entities to classify assets based on their business models, risk characteristics, and cash flow attributes. This ensures accurate portrayal in financial statements, reflecting the distinctive nature of insurance operations.

  • Impairment Recognition:

Insurance companies often hold a diverse portfolio of financial assets, and IFRS 9’s Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model is particularly relevant. Our experts assist insurance companies in implementing impairment models tailored to their specific risk profiles, allowing for proactive recognition of potential credit losses and bolstering financial prudence.

  • Hedge Accounting:

In the insurance sector, effective risk management is integral to success. IFRS 9’s enhancements to hedge accounting are particularly pertinent for insurance companies engaged in complex risk mitigation strategies. We work with insurance entities to design and document hedge accounting strategies that align with their risk management practices, ensuring compliance with the standard.
