Description:
Understanding loss projections can be confusing for captive officers, directors and owners who do not have an insurance background. Yet setting loss reserves is a key decision for the officers and the Board. What role does the actuary play and what decisions must the directors make? In this webinar we explain what an actuary does, what to look for in an actuarial report and the key considerations in setting loss reserves. Specific topics covered include:

• Captive officers and directors’ responsibility for setting loss reserves.
• Why use an actuary.
• Actuarial concepts in projecting losses.
• Understanding the actuarial report.
• Managing different objectives – solvency, tax, competition.
• The financial impact of loss reserve decisions.

This webinar is aimed at officers, directors and owners of captive insurance companies but is suitable for anyone wishing to understand the role of actuaries in loss reserving and the importance of loss reserving decisions to captives.
