Reporting for insurance companies -- IRDA has issued reporting guidelines in the past and has now established a committee to examine the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) proposal issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) on July 30, 2010, for a comprehensive standard to address recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure for insurance contracts. The committee will evaluate the various requirements and accounting standards, identify gaps and suggest various measures so that the insurance industry can move towards IFRS compliance by 2012.[1] This is a significant move at a time when the insurance world in general is looking for greater consistency in reporting standards.
