    Is the preparation of financial statements for insurance companies also included in the syllabus of CT2?

    Hi - the syllabus states that you need to 'Understand the structure and content of insurance company accounts.' (This does not mention 'construct' or 'prepare').

    Thank you for the reply Sir.
    But I came across a question in March 2018 exam, IAI (qus no. 23) which requires the preparation of revenue account, profit and loss account and balance sheet. And it is of 20 marks. :(

    Hi. There is another syllabus item "Construct simple statements of financial position and statements of profit or loss; understand and interpret cash flow statements.". I would not normally expect this to apply to insurance company accounts, but I guess the IAI examiners have taken a different view.

    Yes Sir. I also think that simple financial statements doesn't mean the insurance co. accounts. I will contact IAI regarding this.

    Thank you for your help!
