EY: IASB issues amendments to IFRS 4 to address the different effective dates of IFRS 9 and IFRS 17
EY | September 29, 2016
On 12 September 2016, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB or the Board) issued Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts (Amendments to IFRS 4) (the amendments). The amendments change the existing IFRS 4 Insurance contracts (IFRS 4) to allow entities issuing insurance contracts within the scope of IFRS 4 to mitigate certain effects of applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments before the IASB’s new insurance contracts standard (referred to as IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts) becomes effective. The amendments help to resolve issues arising from the different effective dates for IFRS 9 (1 January 2018) and IFRS 17 (still to be decided, but not before 1 January 2020).Read More »EY: IASB issues amendments to IFRS 4 to address the different effective dates of IFRS 9 and IFRS 17
