IFRS: Where are we now?
Article Abstract:
IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts, is an interim standard and has not made any significant changes or improvements to insurance contract accounting and it permits the use of existing accounting policies for contracts that meet the International Accounting Standards Board's (IASB) definition of insurance contracts. This has led to insurers now starting to assess the impact of the next stage of IASB's insurance projects, which would lay down a set of principles and requirements for insurance contracts.
