2013 Seminar on P/C Effective Loss Reserve Opinions: Tools for the Appointed Actuary

Whether you’re an actuary who signs P/C loss reserve opinions, or someone who assists in preparing them, the Academy’s annual seminar on P/C Effective Loss Reserve Opinions offers you an opportunity to deepen your expertise, become more efficient in your work, and differentiate yourself from others in your field.
 
Here’s what past participants have said about this Academy seminar:

• Breakout sessions were great.  It was much easier asking questions in the small groups.  I appreciated the sample wording.
• Really good way to split the information so that attendees are able to focus on what matters to them.
• Right blend of technical/non-technical discussion.
• Getting examples and working together is a good way to learn.

• Gain an understanding of regulatory perspectives and expectations, directly from regulators on faculty.
• Keep up to date on relevant regulations and standards.
• Earn valuable CE – participants who attend both days’ sessions may earn over 10 CE credits.
