FastPost Express helps Cyprus’ leading life, general and health insurance firm achieve IFRS17 compliance

London. 18th January 2022. Altius Insurance has selected Legerity’s FastPost Express for IFRS17 to help it achieve compliance with the new International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS17). IFRS17 is one of the most significant changes to accounting in the insurance sector in years.

Altius is active in the insurance sector, providing the full range of related services: life insurance, non-life (general) insurance and health insurance. The Company is represented in all the cities of Cyprus, with nine branches and a rather extended network, operating through several agents, insurance consultants and through Alpha Bank’s branch network in Cyprus.

“We needed an IFRS17 solution that could complement our enterprise actuarial solution,” says Mr Evangelos Anastasiades,CEO, at Altius. “FastPost Express’ market-leading technology and enterprise-level cloud security monitoring and support had a big impact on our selection process. We also found the audit control within FastPost’s subledger incredibly valuable.”

FastPost Express for IFRS17 is a third-generation accounting rules cloud platform. SaaS-delivered with best practice, out of the box configuration, it provides a fast and effective route to deliver this new complex accounting standard for all sizes of life, general and reinsurance firms.

Jeremy Wood, CEO at Legerity adds “We are delighted to be working jointly with EY to help Altius deliver IFRS17 compliance. Altius is currently going through massive growth as a business, and we look forward to scaling this project alongside Altius to meet their changing business needs.”
