Abstract
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recently released its Accounting Standards Update (ASU) that revamped the financial reporting of insurance companies’ long-duration contracts like life insurance, disability income, long-term care, and annuities. The new accounting standard demands enhanced disclosures, improves uniformity among similar market-based benefits, and sets standard liability discount rate.
The changing FASB standard poses a considerable impact on various stakeholders. Revisiting existing financial reporting practices and integrating a doable strategic plan are imperative for effective and efficient compliance.
Join a panel of key thought leaders and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group as they provide the audience with an in-depth analysis of the recent developments in FASB's Insurance Accounting Standard. Speakers will also discuss its implications to stakeholders as well as the best preparation and implementation strategies to avoid pitfalls.
This Live Webcast will discuss the following key provisions:
• The Backstory of the New Insurance Contracts Accounting Standard
• FASB Consideration of Industry-Input and Feedback
• Implementing the Spirit of Clarity
• Implementation and On-Going Calculations
• Data Requirements and Governance
• Explaining the Impact to Stakeholders
