EFRAG seeks comments on its Draft Endorsement Advice on Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative Information (Amendment to IF


E​FRAG is ​​consulting on both its assessment of Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative Information (Amendment to IFRS 17) (‘the Amendment’) against the technical criteria in the EU and on its assessment of whether the Amendments are conducive to the European public good. Comments are requested by 19 January 2022.


​​​​​EFRAG has issued a draft endorsement advice letter and a separate invitation to comment relating to the endorsement for use in the EU of the Amendment.

The narrow-scope Amendment addresses an important issue related to accounting mismatches between insurance contract liabilities and financial assets arising in the comparative information presented on initial application of IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The Amendment relates only to the presentation of comparative information. The Amendments become effective on initial application of IFRS 17.

EFRAG's overall preliminary assessment is that the Amendment satisfies the criteria for endorsement for use in the EU and therefore recommends its endorsement. EFRAG is seeking comments on all aspects of its analyses supporting its preliminary conclusions.
EFRAG's draft endorsement advice letter is available her​​e.
