The Brunei Actuarial Society (BAS) was set up in 2017 with the following objectives:
- to connect all Bruneian actuaries, actuarial students and those interested in the actuarial profession and facilitate engagement with each other
- to promote awareness of the actuarial career in the country and provide educational support to actuarial students
- to provide a platform for the members to raise and discuss any issues regarding the technical aspects that relate to the practice of the profession
- to create networking opportunities and opportunities to engage with other professional bodies.
The society is open to both members and non-members of the IFoA, as well as individuals who work in actuarial support roles in the region
Meetings of BAS will take place at designated locations selected by members.
Practice areas
Members from all practice areas are welcome, but primarily towards the Takaful space where it comprises both family and general takaful.
