IAS 19 Requirements in Israel
IFRS Accounting
Public and private companies in Israel, which implement IFRS accounting standards in their financial reports, need to engage with local reliable and experienced IAS 19 actuarial experts.
These local IAS 19 experts, will perform actuarial valuations of employee benefits offered by their client. The actuarial valuations should fully comply with IAS 19 prescribed accounting, reporting and disclosures obligations.
Israeli Subsidiaries of Multinational Corporations
- For Israeli subsidiaries of multinational corporations, this IAS 19 process is often more demanding and complicated.
- In many cases, corporate HQ appoints a consolidating actuary to manage, control and supervise the IAS 19 employee benefits valuation process, performed by third-party actuaries hired locally by its subsidiaries around the globe.
- When this is the case, Israeli third-party actuaries are required to have the capacity to accurately comply with strict guidelines, procedures, reporting requirements and deadlines, set by corporate HQ and the consolidating actuary.
- These requirements may pose complex professional challenges to the locally hired actuaries, as they are often not customary in Israel.
- Israeli third-party actuaries also need to be able to freely communicate in English in all forms communication.
All this, on top of local Israeli reporting and disclosures obligations.
