Quality Assurance Scheme (QAS)

The IFoA’s Quality Assurance Scheme (QAS) is a voluntary, outcomes-based accreditation scheme for organisations that employ actuaries, supporting the highest professional standards.

The QAS outcomes are:

  • Professionalism
  • Development and Training
  • Organisational Culture

Accredited organisations benefit from:

  • Independent, external audit of policies and procedures
  • Organisational level quality assurance, supporting best practice, and identifying issues
  • Best practice examples and recommendations
  • Access to a network of accredited organisations
  • Tailored events
  • Competency-based CPD Scheme (optional)
  • And much more…

Additional resources

We have set out resources below, providing more information about the QAS and details of how to become accredited. There is also a section for SQARs (Senior Quality Assurance Representatives) at QAS accredited organisations.
