Abstract

Although the application of IFRS 17 will generally affect the system and data required by insurance companies, the choice of measurement and models, and internal control system, discussion surrounding the standard suggests it will be an improvement on the former standard which failed to provide acceptable options to the insurance companies. Hence, this study examined the implication of IFRS 17 on the operational performance of listed insurance companies in Nigeria. Being a specific standard, a survey research design was employed in selecting at random 100 respondents with relevant profession expertise. Correlation and regression analysis were employed and applied using SPSS in explaining the implication of IFRS 17 on operational performance of the insurance companies under review, System data, internal control and measurement models were used as proxies for IFRS 17 and tailored questions developed to sample respondents’ opinion. The result of the analysis revealed that, change in system and data, and measurement models have effect on operational performance of insurance companies in Nigeria. The study therefore recommends that, insurance companies put the necessary system and structure in place to support in adoption and implementation of the standard. In addition, measurement and models must be selected to suit the nature of operations within the company. Finally, the financial reporting council of Nigeria (FRCN) should continue to ensure that the adoption and application of new standards is encouraged.
