Webinar: Risk Management in Insurance (Application of Solvency II and new principles in the context of value based and risk oriented management)
This lecture will be held via Skype
Value based management has long been the key driver for innovation in the insurance business. Risk oriented management is paramount within the Solvency II framework. Focusing on these two principles the workshop will deal with the challenges faced by the insurance industry today. Participants can work with their own laptops to achieve hands-on solutions.
Various aspects of a successful and effective implementation of Solvency II and other pending standards will be addressed. This covers the upcoming Solvency II reviews and the developing International Capital Standard, management challenges in implementing risk related aspects in future IFRS accounting statements as well as foreseeable requirements in the context of sustainability and IT risks.
The current COVID-19 market stress will be analysed from a risk measurement perspective
For continuing professional development (CPD) the workshop counts as 9 hours. The workshop also meets the requirements by the Austrian Financial Market Authority with respect to the (deputy) responsible actuary (§§ 114 – 116 Austrian Insurance Supervision Act as well as §§ 21d and 21e Austrian Pension Fund Act), the head of the actuarial function (§ 113 Austrian Insurance Supervision Act as well as § 21c Austrian Pension Fund Act), the head of the risk management function (§ 112 Austrian Insurance Supervision Act as well as § 21a Austrian Pension Fund Act) and other management, governance or key functions (§ 120 Austrian Insurance Supervision Act as well as § 21 Austrian Pension Fund Act).
The workshop is suited to all those who want to acquire knowledge of risk management in insurance. It is also of interest to experienced practitioners. Due to the updates of Solvency II and the introduction of new standards, the workshop differs significantly from previous lectures. Please find the detailed programme on the following page.
