International policy

The principal aim of the international policy of The Actuarial Profession is to enhance the interests of its members, insofar as these interests have an international or overseas dimension or are affected by international activities. In this policy reference is made to both UK-based members and to overseas-based members.

The relevant interests of members include:

• the regulatory environment of the firms that UK and overseas members work for, including the roles of actuaries;
• the professional environment of overseas members; and
• the overseas career opportunities for UK and overseas members.

International Actuarial Association (IAA)

The International Actuarial Association (www.actuaries.org) is the unique international organization dedicated to the research, education and development of the profession and of actuarial associations. All Fellows and Associates, by default of their membership subscription to the Profession, are members of the IAA. Individual membership of the IAA places no additional responsibilities on Fellows. Such membership is essentially about access: to the members' section of the IAA web site; to IAA Sections; and to IAA open meetings.

More information on the IAA.

Groupe Consultatif

The Groupe Consultatif Actuariel Européen (www.gcactuaries.org) represents the actuarial associations in Europe, providing advice and opinions to the various organisations in the European Union (EU) on matters affecting the actuarial profession. It has become progressively more proactive and now exists as a focal point for communication on professional and technical matters among the European actuarial associations.
