Life and Health Qualifications Seminar
November 9-12, 2009
Arlington, Va.
Purpose
The seminar provides the state- and country-specific basic education that may not have been provided as part of the SOA examination process, or otherwise acquired through subsequent testing or alternative education. It can also serve as a basic education refresher, or as a source of continuing education for more experienced actuaries.
The Academy, with the assistance of the SOA, offers this seminar to instruct and test actuaries on some, but not all, of the basic education subject areas required by the Specific Qualification Standard.
Seminar sessions will include coverage of:
- Asset adequacy testing;
- Statutory insurance accounting;
- Valuation and nonforfeiture requirements;
- Health insurance valuation topics;
- Premium, loss, expense, and contingency reserves; and
- Risk-based capital.
In order to provide context, session presenters may address additional Specific Qualification Standard exam topics. This does not, however, eliminate the need for a candidate to obtain basic education on such topics either through examination or by means of alternative education.
