In contrast, the study sample included heads of accounts departments and actuaries working in insurance companies and accountants, and 33 questionnaires were distributed to insurance companies. One of the most important findings of this study was that there is a relationship between the independent variable (application of IFRS No. 17) and the dependent variable (solvency) in the insurance companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange. And that there is a relationship between the independent variable (application of International Financial Reporting Standard No. 17) and the dependent variable (profitability) in the financial and service insurance companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange.
