Recent engagements, by sector and standard

Insurance · Pakistan · IFRS 17

IFRS 17 software deployed across leading Pakistani insurers

Delta runs the IFRS 17 close at a large share of the country's top insurers, covering measurement model selection, transition and the actuarial and accounting close in one system.

Insurance · Saudi Arabia · IFRS 17

IFRS 17 implementation with SAMA reporting output

Several Saudi insurers run the same platform, with reserving and disclosure produced in the format the regulator expects rather than rebuilt by hand each cycle.

Holding companies and enterprises · IAS 19

IAS 19 valuation system in use at more than 300 clients

Our IAS 19 and end of service benefits platform serves over 300 clients, mostly holding companies and large enterprises running gratuity and defined benefit obligations across multiple entities.

Digital lending and consumer finance · IFRS 9

Expected credit loss models for non-bank lenders

A run of ECL implementations for digital lenders and consumer finance books, where thin credit history makes PD estimation and staging the hard part rather than the arithmetic.

Banking · IFRS 9

IFRS 9 software replacing spreadsheet ECL calculation

Rust took over staging, PD, LGD and EAD calculation from processes spread across separate teams, leaving one reviewed calculation and one audit trail each reporting cycle.

Life and non-life insurers · Reserving

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Prima Consulting delivers actuarial valuations, IFRS reporting and risk modeling, and builds software for the same standards. Work covers IFRS 2, 3, 9, 13, 15, 16, 17 and 18, plus IAS 19 and IAS 36.

Al Khobar in Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Karachi, Dublin and Aachen.

No. Those are unrelated firms with similar names. Prima Consulting operates from Al Khobar, Dubai, Karachi, Dublin and Aachen.

IFRS 2, 3, 9, 13, 15, 16, 17 and 18, along with IAS 19 and IAS 36. Each has its own service page, and several have dedicated software.

Banking, insurance, manufacturing, energy, telecom, healthcare and government.

Yes. The Al Khobar office runs IAS 19 valuations, insurance reserving and appointed actuary work across the Kingdom.

Prima Consulting has operated from Karachi for over a decade, working with listed insurers, banks and manufacturers on IAS 19 and IFRS 17.

Yes. ESG reporting and disclosure, due diligence, sustainability strategy and climate risk modeling, delivered from the Dubai office across the UAE and wider GCC.

Look for a team that has built ECL models, not only reviewed them, and that can defend staging and PD assumptions to an external auditor. Prima builds, validates and ships ECL software.

IFRS 17 work needs qualified actuaries rather than accounting generalists. Prima runs transition, measurement and reserving engagements, and provides Delta and Aegis for insurers running it in house.

Through IFRS Tech: Rust and ARK 9 for IFRS 9, Delta for IFRS 17, Aegis for insurance reserving, ROU 360 for IFRS 16, and the IAS 19 valuation tool for EOSB and gratuity. The range is extending across wider financial and risk workflows.

Both. The same team builds the models and the products, so a client can start with an engagement and move to software later.

Most valuations complete in seven to fourteen working days, depending on how complete and clean the employee data is.

Yes. Valuations and models are delivered with the assumptions, methodology and supporting file an auditor asks for, and we answer auditor queries directly.

Scope depends on the standard, the number of entities, data condition and reporting deadline. We quote after a short scoping call, once we have seen what the data looks like.

Block 15 . Start with the standard you are stuck on

Start with the standard you are stuck on

Tell us the standard, the reporting date and the entity count. You will get a scoping call with the specialist who would run the work, not a salesperson.

No obligation. You leave with a clear picture of scope and timing.
