Identify the failure points in insurance contract accounting most likely to cause loss, and control them first.
Managing Insurance Contract Accounting Under Modern Standards
Turn insurance contract accounting from a stated policy into a practice your organisation can evidence.
Course Overview
In finance the difference between a healthy position on insurance contract accounting and a dangerous one is often a single assumption. Models supporting the practice within financial and banking practice fail quietly, and usually at the worst moment. Participants leave with a method for this area of financial and banking practice, not a set of opinions about it. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for insurance contract accounting, not for observers of it. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about the practice within financial and banking practice in their own setting. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about the financial and banking practice discipline under scrutiny. Mature organisations treat insurance contract accounting as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Progress on this part of financial and banking practice is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Participants leave with a plan for this aspect of financial and banking practice sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
