Program ID: – CPAS1 (From: 25th to 27th July 2016)
Relevance of the Program: – Actuarial Science is one area of insurance that has attracted the attention of insurance professionals, especially in the liberalized market. With all insurance companies having appointed Actuaries and many of the compliances and documentations getting linked to actuarial evaluations and certifications, insurance professionals have become more and more dependent on actuarial science and its applications.
The need for a strong mathematical background for studying the subject and the academic rigor required for pursuing the course are reasons why actuarial science has not been pursued by many in the industry as a career option. Nevertheless, many Insurance Professionals have expressed a need to understand and appreciate actuarial science and a few actuarial applications that are commonly used.
College of insurance has been noticing that there are four segments of insurance professionals from non-actuarial departments who have to deal with actuarial terminology and applications, albeit at a limited level, as part of their work. These segments of insurance professionals can be broadly classified as those who have to:
1. Understand reports prepared by Actuaries – at senior or peer levels.
2. Furnish information to actuarial departments so that Actuaries can do their jobs.
3. Get some part of their work certified by actuaries, though they work in different departments and
4. Take action based on reports prepared by Actuaries
Participants Profile: –
