Actuarial Society 2016 Convention: Recent Episodes
Actuarial Society of South Africa
Actuarial Society 2016 Convention Cape Town International Convention Centre Cape Town 23 – 24 November 2016
The Actuarial Society’s 2016 Convention built on the success of last year’s Convention, with feedback on the Convention being used to provide an even better experience.
We welcomed over 1500 Actuarial Society members to an event that was professionally enriching and challenging, with opportunity to both learn and contribute.
You may have been accustomed to “Treating Customers Fairly” (TCF). Recently, Council has agreed to replace the TCF Committee with the “Market Conduct Committee”. The focus of the Committee is to actively support the development and thought leadership of actuarial practice in the context of market conduct through the development of Standards of Actuarial Practice and Actuarial Practice Notes, and the provision of CPD events. In other words, a broader remit than TCF in isolation.
In light of the above, members from the Market Conduct Committee will highlight key features of the Committee, providing insights of how members could interact with the Committee. The presenters in Johannesburg are Peter Johnstone,
