PSAK 108 ABSTRACT The Sharia insurance industry in Indonesia has shown significant growth, although in the past decade, there has been a decline in contribution growth, particularly in the general Sharia insurance sector. This study aims to analyze the impact of IFRS 17 implementation on the revision of PSAK 108. The research method employed is descriptive analysis using both qualitative and quantitative Qualitatively, the study applies a descriptive analysis approach through interviews, while quantitatively, it uses the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The findings reveal that 66% of respondents believe that the implementation of IFRS 17 will have a significant impact on the recording, measurement, and presentation of financial statements, with the level of impact varying based on the type of insurance business. Regarding the impact on the RBC (Risk-Based Capita. of insurance companies, 20% indicated a low impact, while 40% reported medium to high impacts. These findings suggest the need for operational system adjustments, capital strengthening, and enhancement of human resource capacity to address the challenges posed by IFRS 17 implementation in Indonesia.

The Sharia insurance industry in Indonesia has demonstrated positive progress over the past few decades, although in the last decade there has been a decline in contribution growth, especially in the general Sharia insurance sector, which at one point even experienced negative contributions. The average contribution growth rate of the Sharia insurance industry over the past 10 years is 15. although during the period from 2002 to 2011, the average growth was significantly higher at 51. The convergence of IFRS with PSAK aims to facilitate the comparison of financial statements across countries. However, the process of adopting IFRS by a country becomes more complex due to differences in legal structures, regulations, and economic conditions that may differ from Western countries (Deyuu Alemi & Pasricha. Nonetheless. IFRS adoption provides more comprehensive information for stakeholders, enhancing the effectiveness and transparency of corporate financial reporting (Lema et al. , 2. Currently, there are 58 Sharia insurance entities, with 43 operating as Sharia business units (UUS) and 15 functioning as fully-fledged Sharia insurance companies. Of these, there are 29 Sharia life insurance businesses, 25 general Sharia insurance businesses, and 4 Sharia reinsurance Out of the 25 general Sharia insurance businesses, 19 are UUS that have the potential for spin-off, while 6 have already become fully operational Sharia insurance companies (OJK. Tabel 1. Number of Sharia Insurance Business Entity. April Type Full SBU Total Life Insurance General Insurance Reinsurance Total Source: OJK However, the Sharia insurance industry still faces several challenges, such as market share, capital, a shortage of skilled professionals, and the need to implement accounting standards that must comply with international standards, particularly IFRS 17. PSAK, or the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, is a standard used by public companies, including insurance companies, banks, state-owned enterprises (SOE. , and other public companies, as a guideline for preparing financial PSAK can be adjusted annually to reflect evolving conditions, such as through the issuance of new PSAKs or revisions to older ones. One of the key considerations in issuing new PSAKs The implementation of IFRS 17 is designed to ensure that insurance companies in various countries can calculate insurance contracts using a consistent method that is easily understood by investors (Falah Al-Mohammadi Prof. Dr. Bushra Abdullah Al-Mashhdani, 2. Firmansyah . argues that IFRS convergence in Indonesia has not yet had an optimal impact on improving corporate financial statements. However, according to Sinatra et al. IFRS convergence in Indonesia has been able to enhance the relevance of financial statements and provide a stronger basis for investors in decision-making. One form of IFRS convergence into PSAK is the revision of PSAK 108, which relates to Sharia insurance transactions and adopts principles from IFRS 17 regarding insurance contracts. Although PSAK 108 is considered to be similar to IFRS 17, several aspects still require further adjustments LITERATURE REVIEW Sharia insurance is a set of agreements consisting of a contract between the Sharia insurance company and policyholders, as well as agreements among the policyholders, aimed at managing contributions based on Sharia principles to provide mutual help and protection (Law No. According to the National Sharia Board of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN MUI). Sharia insurance is governed by the general foundation outlined in its fatwa, specifically Fatwa DSN MUI No. 21/DSN-MUI/X/2001, which states: AuSharia insurance . aAomin, takaful, and tadhomu. is an effort for protection and mutual assistance among a group of people in the form of investment of Abdul Ghoni.

IFRS 17 has two main objectives: to enhance the transparency of insurance companiesAo financial statements and to align accounting practices across different countries (Muskita. , & Safitri. , 2. related to Sharia insurance transactions (Siregar, , 2. For Sharia insurance, the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the Indonesian Institute of Accountants has established PSAK 108, which regulates Sharia insurance In Paragraph 1, it is stated that this standard is designed to govern the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Proces. is a model used to simplify complex problems. It is a mathematics-based procedure that is highly effective and suitable for evaluating qualitative This method features a hierarchical structure, starting from selected criteria and moving to more specific sub-criteria. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY This study employs a descriptive analysis research method with both qualitative and quantitative approaches (Emzir, 2.

Implementation of IFRS. p-ISSN:1411-6510 e-ISSN :2541-6111 JURNAL Riset Akuntansi dan Keuangan Indonesia Suryadi and Ramdhani define AHP as a comprehensive decision-making model. AHP has the ability to address problems involving multiple objectives and criteria, based on preference comparisons of each element within the hierarchy. The following are some advantages of the AHP . A hierarchical structure, as a consequence of the selected criteria, extending down to the deepest sub-criteria. Considers the validity up to the tolerance limits of inconsistency across various criteria and alternatives chosen by decision-makers. Takes into account the durability or resilience of the analysis output. The principle of AHP is to simplify complex, unstructured, strategic, and dynamic problems into smaller components and arrange them in a hierarchical structure. Each variable is then assigned a numerical value subjectively to indicate its relative importance compared to other variables. Based on various considerations, a synthesis is conducted to determine the variables that have high priority and the most significant impact on the outcomes within the system. The use of AHP begins with creating a hierarchical structure of the problem . , conducting pairwise comparisons between variables, performing analysis/evaluation, and determining the best alternative. Furthermore. Suryadi and Ramdhani outline that the steps in the AHP method are as follows: Constructing a hierarchy of the problem at The problem to be solved is broken down into elements, namely criteria and alternatives, and then organized into a hierarchical structure, as shown in Figure 2. Assessment of criteria and alternatives (M. Firdaus, 2. Criteria and alternatives are assessed through pairwise comparisons. According to Saaty, for various problems, a scale of 1 to 9 is the best scale for expressing opinions. Comparisons are made based on the decision-makerAos judgment by evaluating the importance level of one element relative to another. The pairwise comparison process begins at the top level of the hierarchy aimed at selecting criteria, for Vol. 9 No. 3 Desember 2024 example. A, followed by selecting elements to be compared, such as A1. A2, and A3. The arrangement of the compared elements will appear as shown in the matrix table below: Table 3. Example of Pairwise Comparison Matrix Source: M. Firdaus. To determine the relative importance of elements, a numerical scale from 1 to 9 is used. When an element is compared to itself, it is assigned a value of 1. If element i is compared to element j and receives a certain value, then element j compared to element i will have the inverse value. In this AHP, the assessment of alternatives can be done using the direct method, which is a method used to input quantitative data. Typically, these values come from prior analysis or from a detailed understanding and experience of the decision problem. If the decision-maker has substantial experience or understanding of the decision problem at hand, they can directly input the weighting for each alternative. Determination of Priorities For each criterion and alternative, pairwise comparisons must be conducted. The relative comparison values are then processed to determine the ranking of all alternatives. Both qualitative and quantitative criteria can be compared according to the established assessments to generate weights and priorities. The weights or priorities are calculated through matrix manipulation or by solving mathematical equations. Considerations for the pairwise comparisons are synthesized to obtain the overall priorities through the following steps: Square the matrix resulting from the pairwise comparisons. Calculate the sum of values for each row, and then normalize the matrix. Logical Consistency All elements are logically grouped and consistently ranked according to a logical criterion. The weight matrix obtained from the pairwise comparisons must have cardinal and ordinal Abdul Ghoni. Erny Arianty Vol. 9 No. 3 Desember 2024 JURNAL Riset Akuntansi dan Keuangan Indonesia These relationships can be represented as follows (Suryadi and Ramdhani. Cardinal Relationship: aij . aik = aik Ordinal Relationship: if Ai>Aj. Aj>Ak, then Ai>Ak In practice, some deviations occur, resulting in the matrix not being perfectly consistent. This inconsistency arises from an individualAos The calculation of logical consistency is performed by following these steps: Multiply the matrix by the corresponding priorities. Sum the results of the multiplication for each Divide the sum of each row by the corresponding priority and then sum the results. Divide the result from step c by the number of elements to obtain maximum. The Consistency Index (CI) is calculated as (CI) = (A max-. / . The Consistency Ratio is calculated as = CI/ RI, where RI is the random consistency index. p-ISSN:1411-6510 e-ISSN :2541-6111 RESULT AND DISCUSSION The analysis of the two options for the implementation of IFRS 17 in Islamic insurance was conducted using the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Proces. method, consisting of two stages: level 1 and level 2. Level 1 includes the initial level of the two options, which are classified as having low or high impact. Subsequently, the analysis proceeds to level 2, which involves examining the sub-criteria of the implementation action options that affect the RBC, consisting of three choices: low impact, medium impact, or high impact (Rio Eldianson, 2. , as illustrated in Figure 1. The respondents consisted of five experts in Islamic insurance, particularly in the field of accounting. Two respondents were directors of Islamic life insurance companies overseeing accounting, two others were heads of accounting from Islamic general insurance companies, and one respondent was from the Sharia Standards Board of the Indonesian Institute of Accountants (IAI). During the data collection process, the method employed was a questionnaire. This method If the consistency ratio is < 0. 1, the data was used to solicit the opinions of respondents calculation results can be justified. The value of RI regarding the importance of each criterion related is based on research conducted by Saaty, as shown to the implementation actions. Respondents were in Figure 2. 2 below: asked to fill out the questionnaire and provide ratings on the relative importance between one Table 4.

The revision of PSAK 108 by the Sharia Standards Board of the Indonesian p-ISSN:1411-6510 e-ISSN :2541-6111 Vol. 9 No. 3 Desember 2024 JURNAL Riset Akuntansi dan Keuangan Indonesia Institute of Accountants (IAI) not only follows IFRS 17 but also adds the structure for land funds, which had not been included in the standard previously, even though it is mentioned in the DSN fatwa (Rio Eldianson, 2. Figure 3. Output Results of Sub-Impact Priorities on RBC Source: AHP Processing Results As shown in Figure 7, the Sub-Action Options for Impact on RBC generated through the AHP method are Low . %) and Medium and High both at 40%. The potential impacts of the revision of PSAK 108 related to IFRS 17 may require the sharia insurance industry to make changes to existing application systems, in addition to adjustments in their accounting records (Erwin Noekman, 2.

Hierarchy of Importance Level Analysis for IFRS 17 Implementation Action Source: AHP Processing Results Based on the AHP analysis results above, it can be seen that 66% of the implementation of IFRS 17 concerning the revision of PSAK 108 will have a significant impact on changes in the recording, measurement, and presentation of financial statements of Islamic insurance companies. The impact of these changes on the RBC (Risk-Based Capita. of insurance companies, both for the companyAos RBC and the tabarru RBC, shows that 20% indicate a low impact, while 40% state a medium and high impact. However, the actual impact largely depends on the type of insurance business. the effects differ between Islamic life insurance companies and Islamic general insurance companies, as well as the impact on the dominant products held by each company. Other impacts include changes in the companyAos operating systems, an increasing demand for actuarial human resources, as well as the adequacy of capital strength and tabarru fund balances (Soleman. Riky, et al. , 2. Abdul Ghoni. Erny Arianty Vol. 9 No. 3 Desember 2024 JURNAL Riset Akuntansi dan Keuangan Indonesia p-ISSN:1411-6510 e-ISSN :2541-6111 CONCLUSION companies, 20% indicate a low impact, while 40% each that the impact is medium and high. Based on the analysis, the implementation of IFRS 17 in the revision of PSAK 108 in the Indonesian Islamic insurance industry can have a significant impact on the recording, measurement, and presentation of financial statements for Islamic insurance companies. Approximately 66% believe that the implementation of IFRS 17 has a high impact on companies, while the remaining respondents assess this impact as low. Regarding the changes in RBC (Risk-Based Capita. for insurance The impact of implementing IFRS 17 also varies between Islamic life and general insurance companies, particularly concerning the riskbased capital (RBC) of the companyAos funds and the RBC of the tabarruAo fund. Additionally, the implementation of this standard requires adjustments in the companyAos operating systems, an increase in actuarial expertise, and strengthening of Implementation of IFRS. p-ISSN:1411-6510 e-ISSN :2541-6111 JURNAL Riset Akuntansi dan Keuangan Indonesia Vol. 9 No. 3 Desember 2024 REFERENCE
