Key Features

Product Description

The Aptitude IFRS17 Solution is purpose built to enable global insurers to meet the IFRS17 requirements and can be further configured to incorporate multiple GAAPs and Solvency II if required.  It leverages proven, insurance-specific operational finance software which is already used in many global insurers where consolidation and multi-entity processing is a must. It’s an ideal platform to base a full finance transformation programme upon or to meet bespoke and complex processes.

Aptitude’s IFRS17 Solution is under-pinned by a high performance, scalable data storage model and highly extensible subledger. This provides the structure and flexibility to solve many of the complex requirements of IFRS17 (and additional GAAPs as required), including how to carry out multiple, parallel calculation, modelling and reporting activities at the same time. It provides the performance and capability to run calculations and cost allocations and then store and report data at any level including contract by contract.  It produces finance accurate data at a consolidated level and utilises an automated general ledger interface to make posting back to the general ledger efficient and robust.

Upon transition from IFRS4, Aptitude can calculate the transition balances under the full retrospective, modified retrospective and fair value approaches.  Differing scenarios can be modelled using the simulation and forecasting functionality.

Management, financial and analytic reporting can be obtained through its in-built visualisation tools, custom report builder and integrated analytics reporting.  Meanwhile, there is a full line of sight to drill back to granular source data and provide visibility of assumptions, calculations, adjustments, rules, and transformation points within the data flows. 

Aptitude integrates with existing actuarial and financial reporting environments using ODBC or RESTful and incorporates ETL functionality for data loads supplemented by Excel, CSV and a data entry interface if required.

The solution has support for all of the prescribed measurement approaches including General Measurement Model (GMM) Premium Allocation Approach (PAA) and the Variable Fee Approach (VFA) and includes a configurable pre-built IFRS17 chart of accounts with illustrative examples.

Aptitude’s IFRS17 Solution can be deployed on-premise or cloud and can even be provided as a fully managed service.
