Towards the Optimal Reserving Process

The objectives of Towards the Optimal Reserving Process Working Party are to:

• investigate common practice within the reserving process and disseminate such information as required, ensuring practitioners are aware of such practices
• describe common issues relating to the reserving process and provide ideas around how to address these within the 'typical' reserving process
• consider emerging trends in reserving process requirements and identify potential ways to address these
• assist in making new reserving methods accessible to the wider Profession by providing practical steps to integrate them within existing reserving processes
