FIS Insurance Risk Suite's Life and Health liability libraries are designed to calculate the future cashflows, time value of money and risk adjustment for long term business. The FIS Insurance Risk Suite IFRS 17 Group Calculations library uses results from liability models to perform aggregate calculations such as the Contractual Service Margin at the required unit of measurement and generates the statement of comprehensive income as well as associated disclosures. All of the General Model, Variable Fee and Premium Allocation Approaches are supported and, with the use of the Modules and Nested Structures features of Insurance Risk Suite, these values can also be projected.

Similarly FIS Insurance Risk Suite - GI Edition's libraries are designed to calculate the Building Block and Premium Allocation Approaches for short term business.

The IFRS regulations also assume a high level of control and auditability of the data, and FIS have solutions for each stage of the data management process – Assumptions Manager for the inputs, FIS Enterprise Manager for the calculations and results, FIS Process Manager for overall work flow management, and the FIS Data Repository for linking the actuarial data to the chart of accounts within the accounting systems.
