The International Financial Reporting Standard 17 course at Stanmore School of Business exceeded my expectations. The curriculum was perfectly aligned with my goal of mastering IFRS 17 for my upcoming audit role. I especially appreciated the deep dive into the Contractual Service Margin (CSM) calculations and the step‑by‑step Excel workbook that let me practice discount‑rate adjustments on real‑life insurance contracts. The lecture slides were clear, up‑to‑date, and referenced the latest IASB guidance, which made the material highly relevant. Overall, the learning experience was professional and rigorous, and I now feel confident presenting IFRS 17 disclosures to senior management.
I took the IFRS 17 class because I wanted to actually use the standard at work, not just read about it. The course was super practical – we got hands‑on labs where we built a simple insurance portfolio in Excel and ran the new measurement models. I learned how to identify contract boundaries and calculate the fulfillment cash flows, which I’ve already applied to a client project back at my firm. The course materials were easy to follow and the instructor answered all our questions in a relaxed, friendly way. I’m happy with what I got out of it and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to get real skills fast.
Wow! This IFRS 17 course was exactly what I needed to boost my confidence in the new insurance reporting rules. The enthusiastic teaching style made complex topics like the risk adjustment and the time value of money feel approachable. I especially loved the case study on a multi‑year life insurance contract – it showed me how to translate the theory into a real financial statement. The course pack included up‑to‑date IFRS 17 extracts and a handy cheat‑sheet that I keep on my desk. My satisfaction is through the roof – I can now explain IFRS 17 to my team with enthusiasm and authority!
The International Financial Reporting Standard 17 program offered by Stanmore School of Business was exceptionally detailed and thorough.

Each module covered a specific component – from defining the insurance contract scope, through calculating the Contractual Service Margin, to preparing the required disclosures – with illustrative examples drawn from Asian markets. The provided workbook allowed me to simulate cash‑flow projections and test different discount‑rate scenarios, which directly informed our internal policy draft. The quality of the reading material, complete with references to the latest IFRS 17 amendments, ensured I was learning the most current standards. Overall, the structured learning path and the instructor’s expertise made the experience highly valuable and satisfying.
