EAA Web Session: "Comparing IFRS 17 and Solvency II"

Introduction & Programme

This session aims at analysing the impact of IFRS 17 versus Solvency II. After a general description of both frameworks, we highlight the most recent changes following the Solvency II review with a focus on discount rates and risk margin. We will then explain IFRS 17 accounting choices versus Solvency II and benchmark those. Finally, we will show the impact of IFRS 17 on the management of the contracts when issued and during their lifetime (profit testing and key indicators).

Preliminary Programme
Thursday, 26 March 2026
10:00-12:00 Topics

• Brief introduction to IFRS 17 and Solvency II
• Evolutions of Solvency II discount rates and risk margin
• Benchmark on IFRS 17 accounting choices
• Profit testing in IFRS 17 versus Solvency II
• New indicators when managing IFRS 17 contracts
• Quiz

All the above times are given in CET (Central European Time).

Learning Objectives & Approach

The purpose is to understand the key accounting choices under IFRS 17 and how they relate to Solvency II. This has an impact when valuing and managing insurance contracts. This will also allow users of financial and prudential information to get a better understanding of the figures depending on the purpose and methodology used.

Participants

Participants are expected to have an intermediate knowledge of both IFRS 17 and Solvency II frameworks.
