ICAI to Hold Webinar on Key Considerations in Audit of General Insurance Sector on August 21

What has changed

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India is scheduled to hold a live webinar on Key Considerations in Audit of General Insurance Sector on Friday, 21 August 2026. The programme is listed by ICAI for 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

What ICAI has announced

The programme has been listed by ICAI's Auditing & Assurance Standards Board, the technical board that works on auditing and assurance-related standards, guidance and knowledge-sharing initiatives. ICAI has also published a dedicated event page for the webinar and provided an official live-registration link.

The timing makes the programme particularly relevant for members engaged in statutory audit, internal financial reporting reviews, assurance assignments or advisory work connected with the insurance sector. General insurance entities operate in a specialised regulatory and financial-reporting environment, so audit teams often need sector-specific awareness in addition to general auditing standards.

Date, time and official access

- Date: 21 August 2026

- Time: 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM

- Topic: Key Considerations in Audit of General Insurance Sector

- Organising ICAI board: Auditing & Assurance Standards Board

ICAI's event page links to the official live portal for the programme. Members planning to attend should use the ICAI page or its live portal rather than third-party event listings.

Why CAs may want to track the session

The topic is practical for professionals handling insurance-company audits, financial statement reviews and sector-specific assurance work. The session can also be useful for teams seeking a structured refresher before or during audit planning, especially where sector-specific presentation, estimation, provisioning, controls or regulatory considerations may affect audit procedures.

ICAI's official notice is concise and does not publish a detailed session agenda or speaker list on the event page. Participants should therefore verify any later programme updates directly on ICAI's website.

Practical takeaway

Chartered accountants and audit professionals interested in general insurance engagements should note the 21 August, 11:00 AM start time and use ICAI's official event page for access. Since the programme is imminent, those planning to attend should check the live link before the session begins.
