Insurance Services

Be transformative.

Our insurance team and industry insights can help future-proof your competitive edge

Staying ahead means making the right moves, at the right moment. We’ve been there before and can help you navigate these new challenges.

The insurance industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Even before the pandemic, new regulations, new technology, accelerating shifts in consumer demand and mounting competition from InsurTech players were challenging insurers.

We can help navigate this increasingly complex and uncertain business and geopolitical landscape. To make the most of these opportunities, we can help organizations look beyond the traditional boundaries of the insurance business to embrace new ways of working, new ways of interacting with customers, and whole new possibilities in what their business can deliver.

How we can help 

Our insurance practice provides guidance in areas such as technology, regulation, customer experience, the productivity agenda and other issues. We assist organizations in managing risk and improving their performance. Our integrated approach to problem-solving involves our international network of insurance accounting, tax and business advisory professionals who can quickly form highly qualified teams that can respond to diverse business needs.

We work with the biggest and most iconic names in the industry. Our global network of over 6,000 dedicated insurance professionals have a broad knowledge of the issues, trends and challenges that insurers face.

Here are some of our work in the insurance industry in the Philippines:

PFRS 17 is coming

Are you ready?

All insurance companies reporting under Philippine Financial Reporting Standard (PFRS) will be impacted by the new reporting standard when it becomes effective in January 2025. PFRS 17 will result in significant changes to the way that financial information is presented, and adoption will require significant planning.

However, these changes are not just a challenge—it’s an opportunity. It can enable your organization to leverage data more effectively, enhance the structure of your finance function, and make informed decisions. Ultimately, PFRS 17 is about shaping your company’s narrative. Embrace the changes it brings, and envision the successful business you could run by 2025.

Our extensive implementation experience includes providing impact assessment, technical policy and judgments, models and calculations, future state target operating model, business requirements, integration and post-integration assessment, assistance in transition and go-live, proactive assurance and program assurance.

Leveraging the collective experience of over 190 IFRS 17 projects, we’ve developed 'IFRS 17 In A Box,' a comprehensive solution centered around an industrial-strength IFRS 17 valuation engine. This solution was rated as the most complete offering among other Insurance Accounting software by an external assessment from Chartis Research.
