Risk Based Capital - "So Many Models…"
Some RBC models are formula-based, some are stochastic, but it seems like everyone (NAIC, A.M. Best, S&P, insurers) has their own version. With so many different models, are any of them "right"? This session will start with a review of both formula-based and stochastic models, including approaches to parameterization. Following this review will be a discussion of current research on risks facing insurance companies and the effectiveness of both types of models in reflecting these risks and their potential implications for solvency.

Professionalism - Peer Reviews - Are We Doing Everything We Should?
The American Academy of Actuaries' Committee on Professionalism Responsibility recently published a white paper on Peer Reviews. It covers such topics as what is a peer review? Why are they necessary? When should a peer review be required? What qualifications should a peer reviewer have? What is the peer reviewer's role? At a time when actuaries are subject to more and more litigation, the subject of peer reviews has become more and more critical. This speaker will discuss the AAA's recent paper and offer some insights of his own.

Effective Predictive Modeling - Data, Analytics, and Practice Management
Actuaries have long been building models to predict process outcomes - Trends, Development, Rating Factors, and Claims Processing, being examples of just a few. However, with increasing exposure to, and availability of, machine learning and statistical modeling methodologies, data mining tools, diverse sources of data, and storage/processing bandwidth, there is now an unparalleled opportunity to significantly enhance the effectiveness of predictive modeling practices. This session will concentrate on the key aspects that underlie successful predictive modeling implementations - data handling, analytical processes and techniques, and the overall management of modeling initiatives. Examples and references will be provided to illustrate best practices.

The Role Actuaries Play in Mergers and Acquisitions
Actuaries play pivotal roles in mergers & acquisitions. The panel will discuss how potential buyers utilize actuaries to "kick the tires" of a possible merger or acquisition. While most due diligences begin with reserves analysis, other analyses are often performed. These can include capital modeling, pro-forma balance sheets, valuations, etc.

Dispelling the Fog
There's been a lot of talk at recent seminars about IFRS, ERM, Capital Management, Solvency II, and other similar concepts. While these topics seem to frequently work their way into discussions in one way or another, it is likely that not everyone really understands them or their potential impact on what we do as actuaries. The purpose of the session is (1) to dispel the fog surrounding these various concepts, (2) to help people understand how these concepts are all interrelated, and (3) to explain what these rapidly evolving fields mean to the actuaries in the various affected organizations. This panel includes subject matter experts on ERM, Solvency II, and IFRS. Also represented will be the view from a Company.
