Plenary 3 - Reserve Uncertainty - Reserving Meets Capital

The Measuring Uncertainty Qualitatively working party focuses on GI reserving (a GI ROC WP). We have produced a reserving uncertainty framework. Could this be used to help set reserve-risk parameters more accurately? Could the framework be used to help validate the capital modelling or reserve risk? We want your input.

Plenary 4 - Challenging the Norm 

Capital functions have evolved over recent years, and are yet to benefit from developments in the actuarial and technological space. We see opportunities to drive efficiency and help business gain greater value from the models and present our view of how these developments can ‘challenge the norm’ in the capital space.
