The CAS is pleased to announce the introduction of exam breaks during our four-hour exams, starting with the Fall 2023 exam sitting. This new initiative is designed to enhance the performance and well-being of all exam takers, by providing them with an opportunity to rest and recharge during their exams.

We are pleased to announce that registration for the highly anticipated CAS Annual Meeting is now open! Please save the dates of November 5-8, 2023, as we gather in the dynamic city of Los Angeles, California, for an exceptional event that promises to be the highlight of the year for insurance and actuarial professionals.

The CAS is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a research paper which studies and discusses the actuarial considerations associated with IFRS-17 implementation for general insurers in Asia.

A Town Hall discussion was held in conjunction with the 2023 CAS Spring Meeting on Monday, May 8, 2023 on the topic of “Preparing the Actuary of the Future.”

Two new papers have been published on the Variance website

The Variance Prize for papers published in Variance volume 15 (2022) has been awarded to Drake Landry and Steven Martin for their paper, “Policy-Level Unreported Frequency Model for Pure IBNR Estimation.”

Variance is in search of associate editors (AEs) to manage the peer review of papers. This is a leadership position on the Editorial Board in which the AE will receive assistance and guidance from, and provide assistance to, the editor in chief and co-editor. It’s a great opportunity to contribute to new actuarial literature!

The Ratemaking Research Working Group has announced two winners of their 2023 Call Paper Program.

The CAS is currently recruiting for the co-editor position on the journal Variance. This is a volunteer opportunity open to interested members of the CAS, particularly those active in the insurance industry.
