More complex risk-based capital models, demanding regulatory reporting requirements and deadlines, coupled with a new accounting regime, have required insurers to improve their financial reporting processes and capabilities.
Against this backdrop, regulatory scrutiny has increased and uncertainty. Insurers are looking closely at ways in which they can transform their business strategies and operating models to remain competitive but compliant in an uncertain regulatory, economic and strategic landscape. Our Actuarial practice help clients prepare for the future by measuring and managing risks, transforming financial reporting processes and managing regulatory relationships.
