QAS accreditation awarded to Pensions and Actuarial Services Limited

The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) has awarded the Quality Assurance Scheme (QAS) accreditation to Pensions and Actuarial Services Limited after their successful application for inclusion in the flagship scheme.

The QAS is a voluntary accreditation scheme available on application to organisations that employ members of the IFoA.  It is designed for organisations who wish to demonstrate their commitment to effective quality assurance at the organisational level that underpins the quality of actuarial work.  All organisations receiving QAS accreditation have to pass a rigorous, independent assessment of their working environment, culture and processes. 

Robert Childs, Head of Operations, DST Pensions and Actuarial Services Limited, said:

We are pleased the IFoA have established an accreditation scheme that sets the benchmark for firms to aspire to; focussing on quality of outcome and the processes in place to ensure that end. Given the nature of our work and the calibre of our client base, an accreditation that is specifically orientated to firms performing actuarial services is very attractive.

The accreditation visit was challenging and thought provoking and, having an independent expert offer a fresh perspective on our operations, ultimately proved very useful.

We are delighted to have achieved accreditation, and to be able to demonstrate our commitment to quality to our clients.
