This session, now in its six year, is aimed at senior actuaries working in life insurance - predominantly Chief Actuaries, but also Reviewing Actuaries and others working in risk and financial reporting. It will provide seven hours of relevant CPD.

The session is intended to give participants a briefing on current and upcoming considerations for year-end reporting and other relevant issues. It will also provide an opportunity to network with other Chief Actuaries to maximise sharing of perspectives and ideas across the group.

 

This workshop is intended for:

  • Chief Actuaries
  • Reviewing Actuaries
  • With-Profits Actuaries
  • Senior actuaries either working for life offices or consultancies that are involved in year-end valuations and capital modelling.

It will also be of interest to senior people outside of these work streams that want to get an update of what current issues are in this area such as FDs, CEOs and senior management.
