Coral Gables, September 6, 2024 – SL FINANCIAL is an actuarial consulting and advisory firm based in Miami, Florida. We are present in Nigeria (West Africa) under GOLDWYNS ACTUARY LLP. We offer complete actuarial solutions in both traditional (re)insurance and alternative risk financing industries. We are here to help insurers and financial institutions to navigate the implementation of IFRS 17, the new standard for insurance contract accounting.

 

The implementation of IFRS 17 has necessitated a profound shift in how insurers manage and leverage data. To effectively comply with the standard’s stringent requirements, insurers must undergo a comprehensive transformation of their data architecture, systems, and overall IT infrastructure.

 

A cornerstone of IFRS 17 compliance is robust data management. Insurers face the challenge of consolidating vast amounts of data from disparate sources into a centralized repository. This data must be accurate, consistent, and granular to support complex calculations and reporting. Establishing a robust data governance framework is essential to ensure data quality, security, and accessibility.

 

Furthermore, insurers must invest in advanced analytics and modeling capabilities to extract meaningful insights from their data. This includes developing sophisticated algorithms to assess risk, calculate liabilities, and optimize capital allocation. A data-driven culture, coupled with the right technology infrastructure, is imperative for successful IFRS 17 implementations.

 

Key challenges associated with IFRS 17 data management include:

  • Data quality and consistency: Ensuring data accuracy and reliability across diverse sources.
  • Data volume: Managing and processing large volumes of data efficiently.
  • Data integration: Combining data from various systems into a unified platform.
  • Data governance: Establishing clear data ownership, access controls, and usage guidelines.
  • IT infrastructure: Upgrading systems to handle increased data complexity and processing demands.

 

By addressing these challenges and implementing effective data management strategies, insurers can not only meet IFRS 17 requirements but also gain valuable insights to drive business decisions and improve operational efficiency.
