Financial Statement Analysis – Insurance Companies — Overview

The 1-day Financial Statement Analysis Program provides participants with a broad understanding of the financial information that is used to assess the financial strength and performance of insurance companies. The course focuses on the value of balancing qualitative and quantitative analysis, the benefits and limitations of ratio analysis and the need to adjust the analytic approach to reflect the key drivers of performance for the company. In addition, the course addresses the approach used by rating agencies and insurance regulators to assess the credit risk of insurance companies.

The program is built around a series of group exercises and an illustration case, which are designed to demonstrate the application of key learning points. The illustration case will be a life insurance company.
