Synergies with Solvency II
We identified all potential synergies between the Solvency II and IFRS value chains. The objective of this exercise was to ensure that each key element is taken into account during the Solvency II initiative if the company decides not to start the IFRS 4 Phase 2 project before the finalization of the text. By key elements, we are referring to data requirements, business rules, fast close, and so on. Our accelerator will help our clients to avoid making some architectural changes which will no longer be relevant under IFRS 4 Phase 2 requirements.
