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

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 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.
