Over the past year, we have been developing a proposed new Certified Actuarial Analyst membership category and qualification for the profession (please note this is a working title). This is aimed primarily at those working with actuaries in support roles who could benefit from some technical actuarial knowledge, but who do not require the full skill set associated with being an actuary. The proposal would help to professionalise support roles by bringing those undertaking such roles within our regulatory framework. It is part of the Education strand of the IFoA’s strategy.
