Has IFRS 17 changed the industry or largely been adopted without any problems?

The implementation of IFRS 17 has been a significant step towards increasing transparency and comparability in insurers’ financial statements, according to a new report by ratings agency Fitch Ratings.

The “Key Learnings from the First Full Reporting Cycle Under IFRS 17” report, released this week said that although IFRS 17, effective since 1 January 2023, has not achieved full comparability, the financial statements of insurers are becoming more aligned, with further improvements expected in upcoming reporting cycles.
