Useful Information:
- The CAS posted a NEW Excel file with sample IFRS 17 questions on the Exam 6-Canada page. This is not listed as being part of the required readings but it looks like something you should definitely look at. You can download it from this page: (You have to scroll down to find it.)
Notes:
- If you find any typos or errors, please post to the PRACTICE EXAM category of the forum here: Forum
- For the IFRS 17 Bonus Question, you will need to refer to the source text for the CIA.IFRS17-LRC wiki article.
- For all calculation problems in the practice exam (except #14 and #18) you can change the input values and the answers will automatically update. In other words, you can create your own practice problems.
