Actuarial & Insurance Solutions
The insurance and pension industry is facing new regulatory regimes, such as Solvency II and new IFRS standards. In order to respond to these challenges, it must build and maintain new processes and models based on methods and techniques not yet widely known in the profession. Moreover, insurance products, capital management, performance measurement and risk modeling have been part of a rapidly developing landscape over the past few years. Deloitte’s Actuarial & Insurance Solutions (A&IS) service line has been at the forefront of these developments. Deloitte’s intellectual capital, consulting expertise, and modeling capabilities have helped to transform the way its clients report results and manage their businesses.
