The body of knowledge behind the Standard
The normative documents, the audit programme, the Reference Handbook and the Essentials Series — the sources a board, an auditor or a candidate needs to work with the IVDCS / IACS-7 Standard. Delivered as watermarked PDF and editable Word under the IACS licence (IACS-LIC-001).
The four volumes
The IACS-7 Reference Handbook
The complete, worked explanation of the IVDCS / IACS-7 Standard — every construct, every formula, every worked example. The required text for the Certified Solvency Architect programme.
The IVDCS / IACS-7 Normative Standard
The binding requirements an entity must satisfy to claim conformance, with definitions, normative requirements, annexes and the audit programme kept separate from the requirements themselves.
The IACS Master Compendium
The consolidated reference — the Standard, the Master Audit Matrix and the Reference Handbook drawn together into one volume for the library shelf.
Why a New Standard, Why Now
The short case for the Standard, written for boards and CFOs — the disclosure asymmetry, the sentiment subsidy and toxic revenue, in one sitting.
The audit programme, the Essentials Series and sector briefings
The Master Audit Matrix
Audit objectives, evidence requirements, sampling protocols and opinion templates for every construct in the Standard, so an audit firm can issue IVDCS opinions inside its existing engagement model.
The Essentials papers
Friction Debt Accounting Foundations; the Adjusted Profitability Ratio; the Churn Break-Even Point and the 1.2× Stop-Loss Rule; Friction-Adjusted LTV and the Capital Integrity Index; Board Governance and the CX Steering Committee Mandate; the Big 4 Certification Pathway; the Private Equity Operating-Partner Playbook.
Sector briefings
Telecommunications, retail banking, insurance, retail and omnichannel, government and sovereign service, and private equity — the Standard applied to the friction that matters in each.
The Value Engine & The Solvency Paradox
The two books that frame the discipline: linking customer experience to enterprise value, and why a high satisfaction score can mask millions in toxic revenue.
