Replay: Impact of COVID-19 on Insurance and Financial Reporting Values

The impact COVID-19 has had on clients has been different for every industry and every line of business. It has influenced the value of company’s material assets, as well as the overall insurance market. As we come out of this period and enter the recovery stage, it’ll be important for companies to re-visit their financial statements and reporting, to see how they can improve their balance sheets.
