Committee on Reserves

The Committee on Reserves addresses actuarial issues related to reserves associated with property and casualty exposures including loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, premium reserves and other contingent reserves. The committee's charge includes furthering the development and dissemination of reserving theory, principles and practices; identifying reserving topics for research and discussion; and monitoring professional development and regulatory activities. The committee strives to maintain a balanced and diverse membership in terms of geography, employment (insurer/consultant/regulator), and background (personal/commercial/reinsurance) with significant and current reserving experience being a pre-requisite for membership.
