Actuarial Profession Standards update for pensions actuaries

02 March 2011

Both APSs are effective from 1 April 2011, and form part of the GN transitions project which will replace guidance notes (GNs) containing ethical material, with standards to complement the principles-based regime of the Board for Actuarial Standards’ (BAS) Technical Actuarial Standards (TASs).

APS P1 and APS P2 coincide with the effective date of the Pensions TAS which also commences on 1 April 2011.  http://www.frc.org.uk/images/uploaded/documents/Pensions%20TAS%20final%20version.pdf
