Organised by the EAA - European Actuarial Academy GmbH in cooperation with the Österreichische Förderungsgesellschaft der Versicherungsmathematik GmbH (ÖFdV GmbH).

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 2 topics of Solvency II that relate particularly to the role and tasks of the actuarial function within a system of governance. It will start by providing an overview on governance aspects, which are important to understand the role of the actuarial function. The second day will focus on the tasks of the actuarial function, e.g. the report of the actuarial function as well as possible conflicts of the actuarial function.

All sessions will be a combination of lectures and interactive discussions.

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 be helpful for professionals working in life, health as well as in non-life insurance business.
