Never before has the actuary in general insurance been in such an influential and vital position as with the arrival of Solvency II. The responsibilities of the Actuarial Function are widespread. Such an important role is this that the IFoA has made a practicing certificate mandatory for its members assuming this position, henceforth called the Chief Actuary. The Chief Actuary now needs to consider underwriting, reinsurance and risk, beyond the traditional playing fields of reserving and capital. So what is expected by the legislation? What is expected by the PRA? What is expected by the insurer? What is expected by the IFoA? What are the experiences so far? Come along and find out. 

Introducing a NEW half day seminar within General Insurance!
