| CAS & SoA To Sponsor New Exams 3 & 4
by Kevin B. Thompson, FCAS The Casualty Actuarial Society and the Society of Actuaries have agreed to jointly sponsor new Exams 3 and 4 beginning in Spring 2000. Joint sponsorship means that the education of actuaries in the United States and Canada will be the same for the subjects covered by the first four exams under the new exam structure. The approval of joint sponsorship was the outgrowth of a meeting convened by the presidents and presidents-elect of both societies in January 1998. This meeting was held to re-evaluate the potential for joint sponsorship in light of favorable developments since the new exam structure was announced. During the meeting, both societies agreed to create a joint task force to recommend a common syllabus for Exams 3 and 4. Harry Panjer, President of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries, was asked to serve as chairperson of the task force and the CAS and SoA each appointed two members. The task force issued its report and recommendations in March 1998. These recommendations were reviewed by the appropriate education committees, senior leadership and ultimately the Board of each society. |
