The insurance implications go far beyond the unprecedented scale of the losses, from various lawsuits all the way to policy debates on disaster management. And still uncertainties remain around future hurricane trends.

Finite Reinsurance
Beginning in late 2004, risk transfer and reinsurance accounting has been a hot topic in the property and casualty industry. In addition highly publicized subpoenas issued by the SEC and the US DOJ, the NAIC was taken significant steps in changing the financial reporting requirements for reinsurance. As part of this process, there has been regular interaction between the NAIC, the American Academy of Actuaries and the CAS on the topic of risk transfer in reinsurance products. This session will provide a summary of the issues and an update on the status of NAIC proposals for disclosures and CEO/CFO attestations, as well as its proposal to bifurcate reinsurance contracts under SSAP 62.

Practical Enterprise Risk Management
What does it take to turn ERM from a conceptual, 50,000 foot-level exercise into an operational system for day-to-day decision-making in an insurance company? How can general indications be turned into specific, granular indications that increase the value of the firm? Several ingredients are required, including the right kind of management buy-in and a robust modeling platform. This session will cover how this process has been achieved in the real world by the managers who made it happen. We will discuss the obstacles that had to be overcome and how ERM analysis was translated into tangible business value in capital management, reinsurance management and other areas.

Loss Reserve Developments
In light of the recent public scrutiny on loss reserves we will review industry data from the largest developments noted in the industry. Using this data we will examine the merits of various external viewpoints and further examine the role of actuarial practice. Is the Statement of Actuarial Opinion serving the profession properly and are we as actuaries serving our profession properly? To what extent is this an educational matter and to what extent is this a matter of improving actuarial practice? This session will examine the data and discuss the action the profession is taking on this issue.

FACT Act and Credit Scores
The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 ("FACT Act" ) requires the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Reserve Board to conduct a study on the effects of credit scores and credit-based insurance scores on the availability and affordability of financial products. These products include credit cards, mortgages, auto loans, and property and casualty insurance. As part of its efforts to fulfill its obligations under the Act, the FTC has sought public comment on any evidence the FTC and the Board should consider in conducting this study. The study is due to Congress on December 4, 2005. This session will discuss the FACT Act study as it relates to Property and Casualty Insurance.

The Effect of Changing Exposure Levels on Calendar Year Loss Trends
Chris Styrsky, FCAS, MAAA, will present his Ratemaking Call Paper submission. The paper illustrates the impact that changing exposure levels have on calendar year loss trends by creating a situation where the calendar year loss trends are inaccurate. The results show that the calendar year loss trends can be distorted significantly by exposure level changes, with the potential to affect rate levels if not accounted for. However, the effect of changing exposure could be accounted for. The proposed method of data organization will allow the impact of changing exposure levels to be negated, allowing actuaries to set more precise rates.

Insolvencies 101
Frederick O. Kist, FCAS, MAAA, Senior Vice President and Chief Actuary, Kemper Insurance Company. The NAIC has reported an increasing trend in companies who have become insolvent or have triggered regulatory action. Mr. Kist will examine the issues surrounding insolvencies, the state of run?off today, and whether the current regulatory environment is effective in dealing with major insolvencies. Few actuaries are actually involved in insolvencies or commercial run?off. Mr. Kist will discuss through actual experience the issues and challenges that actuaries are presented with when their companies become financially troubled. Those actuaries who become involved in these situations can expect to play both traditional and nontraditional actuarial roles.
