The Groupe Consultatif Actuariel Européen has published a paper on Market Consistency.  The paper summarises the key principles underlying market consistent valuations of assets and liabilities.  Its underlying aim is to help actuaries and others best interpret the concept of market consistency in contexts where several possible valuation approaches are or might be proposed.

The Groupe Consultatif Actuariel Européen (European Actuarial Consultative Group) is recruiting a CEO, to replace the current CEO, Michael Lucas, on his retirement next year.  Applications should be submitted to the Groupe by 21st December 2012.

PRESS RELEASE

The Pensions Board has revised the timeframe for defined benefit schemes with funding deficits to submit funding proposals to the Board. This follows consideration of representations made to The Pensions Board by a number of parties, including the Society of Actuaries in Ireland.

The Society of Actuaries in Ireland has decided to establish a "Wider Fields" Member Interest Group.
 
This will be similar to the UK Actuarial Profession's Resource and Environment Member Interest Group (see http://www.actuaries.org.uk/members/pages/resource-and-environment-memb…) except that it will have a wider remit.
 

Every 4 years, member associations of the IAA organise an International Congress of Actuaries and welcome actuaries from all disciplines and from around the world.  The next Congress will be held in Washington from 30th March – 4th April 2014. The theme of the 2014 Congress is Learn, Interact, Grow.
