The CAS Actuary of the Future Speaker Series features CAS members who represent that future – actuaries who have solved big problems faced by their employers or principals by thinking boldly and creatively applying their actuarial skills, while collaborating with other stakeholders. Ultimately, these actuaries brought value to their organizations in ways that haven’t been done before.

Applications for the Certified Specialist in Catastrophe Risk (CSCR) credential through the Experienced Industry Professional pathway are still being accepted through December 31, 2023.

Registration is open for the annual CAS/AICT Joint Seminar, to be held on September 8 (Taipei Time) in Taipei, Taiwan.

In 2020, the CAS established a partnership with Pearson VUE, the global leader in computer-based testing, as its new test delivery partner to serve the CAS candidate community across the globe.

The Actuarial Standards Board (ASB) of the American Academy of Actuaries adopted a revision of Actuarial Standard of Practice (ASOP) No. 20, now titled Discounting of Property/Casualty Claim Estimates.

Scholarships are awarded on the basis of individual merit. The MAF Scholarship Program will award up to two scholarships to deserving students for the 2023-2024 academic year. Both will receive a $1,000 scholarship.

The CAS has made it easier for actuarial employers to sign up their actuarial employees for CAS webinars and at substantial savings for those companies with a large number of actuaries spread across multiple locations.
