STAY TUNED! If you are anticipating additional search filters by attribute and level to align with the CAS Capability Model, it is coming later this Summer. As the CAS begins to code recorded sessions by specific attributes and levels (starting with the 2023 Annual Meeting), these will be tagged in the CAS database of presentations going forward and should be searchable.
But you may use the Capability Model now to help you identify topics. For example, if you want to move up one level under the content area “Functional Expertise,” you may search topics in the particular functional area to expand your knowledge.
Recorded content is searchable by Capability Model attribute and level in the CAS Online Library.

International Regulatory Changes
As approaches used by regulatory regimes and rating agencies to evaluate capital adequacy are converging, insurance companies are refocusing risk management systems to support a more robust evaluation of corporate capital adequacy. With this in mind, current capital adequacy requirements from various regulatory regimes and rating agencies will be discussed in the session as well as the capital adequacy approach anticipated under the Solvency II Directive (effective date thought to be 2009 or 2010). Preliminary views on insurance companies' plans for meeting these anticipated requirements will also be presented.
Additionally, the session will focus on the new guidelines on liability valuation for general insurance. These guidelines have been implemented in the Asia Pacific Region in 2001 and similar guidelines will be implemented in Europe under IFRS Phase II. Practical actuarial applications that can be used to satisfy some of theses valuation requirements will be presented.

Risk Transfer - What Changes Are On The Horizon?
In the past twelve months there has been an elevated level of scrutiny in many areas of the insurance industry including the use and alleged misuse of structured products. As a result of this heightened state of scrutiny, questions regarding risk transfer are coming up again and again. What changes might occur from a regulatory, audit and industry perspective regarding how risk transfer will be analyzed? Is the 10%-10% rule of thumb appropriate? Who should ultimately be responsible for determining whether risk transfer exists? Please join this session to hear from an audit actuary, a regulatory actuary and a reinsurance brokerage actuary about what changes may be on the horizon.

Getting to Know Your Customer - What Motivates the Purchase of Reinsurance?
The motivation to purchase reinsurance and how to determine its structure are often decided by many internal and external factors. The decision may be influenced by technical issues, relationships, market conditions, as well as numerous other items. This session will explore this topic from the perspectives of individuals employed at organizations representing the three main parties to a reinsurance contract: a primary company, a broker, and a reinsurer.
