Moody’s Analytics Expands Insurance Footprint in Portugal, Crédito Agrícola Vida Chooses RiskIntegrity™ for IFRS 17 Solution

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Moody’s Analytics today announced that Crédito Agrícola Vida (CA Vida), the life insurance arm of Portuguese financial group Crédito Agrícola, will use the RiskIntegrity™ for IFRS 17 solution to address the new IFRS 17 accounting standard.

CA Vida selected Moody's Analytics for our combined actuarial and financial reporting capabilities, the flexibility of our software-as-a-service deployment model, and our experience advising firms implementing new standards.

“There are many considerations when selecting a software vendor to address a new regulatory or reporting regime. Moody's Analytics delivers the capabilities, expertise, and experience we will need at each step of our IFRS 17 project,” said António Castanho, Chief Executive Officer at CA Vida.
