The Casualty Loss Reserve Seminar (CLRS) provides a forum for presenting and discussing
significant issues in loss reserving. The program includes a range of topics to interest professionals and students in
a number of related disciplines. Moreover, the seminar meets the continuing education needs of
actuaries and other professionals whose responsibilities include loss reserving.
The seminar is recommended for risk and insurance managers, actuaries, actuarial students,
accountants, underwriters, insurance regulators, and others who require an understanding of state-of-the-art
developments, as well as traditional loss reserve methods and models. Sessions on advanced reserving
topics and dynamic financial analysis are designed for experienced loss reserving professionals.
Intermediate reserving topics are recommended for individuals already familiar with basic
evaluation techniques who wish to increase their knowledge of loss reserve methods and models. Sessions on
basic reserving topics are recommended for individuals with limited experience evaluating loss reserves. In
addition, a wide range of special topics will interest the general audience at all levels of experience.
The seminar follows a format of panel sessions, many using slides and printed handouts to augment
the presentations. Illustrative numerical examples are used whenever possible. Audience participation is
