Q&A Special with the IAA on ‘Leveraging Actuarial Skills’ - for Supervisors
Following the launch of the self-directed modules on Connect.A2ii on the same topic, the IAA, A2ii and IAIS are organising a Q&A Special with the IAA experts, to take place on 27 September at 13.00 Central European Summer Time (CEST).
The Special is a 90-minute live session where participants will have the opportunity to discuss any learning gaps, insights, practical or conceptual actuarial questions with the IAA trainers.
How do I register?
To take part in the event, supervisors will need to complete the self-directed online modules on Connect.A2ii and consequently receive the “Leveraging Actuarial Skills” Digital Badge on Connect. The supervisors with the Badge will receive a personal invitation with a registration link for the Q&A Special.
How do I submit a question ahead of the Special?
Questions can be submitted through this form. The submissions are anonymised; however, we encourage you to add your name and the supervisory authority in the signature to better contextualise your questions.

About the self-directed training
In response to high demand from insurance supervisors, the International Actuarial Association, the Access to Insurance Initiative and the International Association of Insurance Supervisors have launched a self-directed virtual training for supervisors, on how to best leverage actuarial skillsets.
The modules are hosted on the Connect.A2ii learning platform and are open to all supervisors with a Connect account free of charge. To complement the self-directed part, IAA, A2ii, and the IAIS are planning a series of focused Q&A live sessions with the trainers.
This training aims at strengthening the understanding and application of the actuarial concepts and tools needed to support effective insurance supervision and regulation. The focus and approach are on teaching principles while making the training as practical and simple as possible through knowledge checks and case studies.
The modules span four areas:
1. Enterprise Risk Management
2. Valuation and Actuarial Reports
3. Reinsurance
4. Risk-based Capital
Connect.A2ii
Connect.A2ii is A2ii’s learning and exchange platform restricted to insurance supervisors. The training catalogue within the platform features A2ii’s flagship training modules as well as interaction and discussion space.
