Welcome from Derek, Chief Executive
Over the coming year we are keen to explore how best we can increase our presence in the Gulf and Middle East. In April 2014 Robert Jelly, Head of Learning and Assessment, gave a talk on the Certified Actuarial Analyst (CAA) at the Insurance Institution and Actuarial Profession in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Conference. Feedback from the event has been positive, and we hope to attend and be a part of future conferences in the region.
In May 2014 we opened registration for the Certified Actuarial Analyst (CAA) Module 0 exam and we are pleased to confirm that we have received registrations for this exam from the UAE. This is something we hope to build on and hope to see more registrations across the region as time goes on. Further information on the CAA can be found at on our website.

Certified Actuarial Analyst (CAA) - 4 weeks until exam registration closes
Exam registration for the first CAA exam session featuring Module 0, closes on Friday 18 June.
It has been many years since the IFoA offered a new membership qualification. The aim of CAA is to provide an internationally recognised credential for professionals working alongside actuaries, and to extend actuarial knowledge to a broader reach of technical and analytical roles in the financial services sector. As well as a level of technical expertise, the qualification develops wider skills such as communication and professionalism.
Within a month of launch, the IFoA had already seen interest from over 30 countries, confirming the global appeal of the CAA.
We would like to draw your attention to the following deadlines as the closing date for registration draws closer. Study material is available for those considering taking Module 0 with us in August.
-
18 July 2014 by 17:00 (UK time) Exam registration deadline - you must complete the online registration by this date
-
21 July 2014 by 17:00 (UK time) Exam payment deadline - you must have completed the payment for your exam by this date
-
25 July 2014 by 17:00 (UK time) Exam centre booking deadline - you must have booked your exam with Pearson VUE by this date
You can read more about the CAA and its benefits, how it fits within the global market and how the CAA can help you in your career
by viewing our web pages.

Nick Salter, President-elect wants to hear from you, on 'diversity'
The needs of our increasingly diverse membership are constantly evolving and the IFoA continues to evolve in response to these needs. We are acutely aware that the IFoA is a global organisation and that the needs of members will be different depending on where they work, what they are doing and what stage of their career they are at. We welcome the challenges this presents in delivering a first rate service to you all.
As Nick Salter, President-elect, prepares to assume the Presidency at the end of June, he would like to hear your views on the subject of “Diversity”. For the purpose of this survey, diversity will be taken to mean: age, gender, geographical location, membership status and practice area.
We would like to hear your views through a survey, which you can find here.
Please sumbit your thoughts by 26 June.
