SEMINAR

21/22 Apr 2015 in Dublin

Solvency II for Non-Life Actuaries

Organised by the EAA - European Actuarial Academy GmbH in cooperation with the Society of Actuaries in Ireland.

Solvency II will apply starting from 1/1/2016 and hence will require all insurers to prepare for the upcoming tasks. Since 2014 the so called Solvency II preparatory phase is in force, guided by a number of preparatory guidelines issued by EIOPA.

This seminar will focus on Pillar 1, 2 and 3 topics of Solvency II that relate particularly to non-life insurance business. It will start by providing an overview of non-life related topics for each Pillar and then move towards covering the details with regard to non-life Technical Provisions, elements of the SCR (hereby primarily focussing on standard formula), USPs, Actuarial Function, ORSA and conclude on topics relating to reporting in QRTs, RSR and SFCR. All sessions will be a combination of lectures, short case studies/ group works and in particular will focus on pragmatic and practical solutions to the requirements that will be presented.

Participants

The seminar is open to all interested persons, such as actuaries, risk and capital managers, controllers, supervisors and auditors from all types of insurance companies. Participants should have basic understanding of Solvency II. It should be noted that this seminar will focus strongly on non-life insurance business, i.e. examples, case studies and lectures will be tailored to cover this primarily.

Participants shall bring their laptops to be used in some of the Pillar 1 case studies.
