This web session is the third part of a four-part series at the German Actuarial Association (DAV). In this online training, we will expand on and deepen some of the topics already known from the basic and advanced trainings, discussing further important techniques in the context of deep learning and providing further theoretical foundations. It […]

This session aims at analysing the impact of IFRS 17 versus Solvency II. After a general description of both frameworks, we highlight the most recent changes following the Solvency II review with a focus on discount rates and risk margin. We will then explain IFRS 17 accounting choices versus Solvency II and benchmark those. Finally, […]

In this web session, we will look into the drivers of inflation and risk in order to create a set of scenarios which are meaningful for steering the insurance business. Both life insurance and general scenarios will be discussed. The agenda is planned as follows: 1. Overview of inflation drivers and influence 2. Overview of […]

With the rise of digital economy, cyber risk has become a major concern for all customer segments. Although the development of “physical” protection strategies against cyberattacks is fundamental, no protection is perfect, and insurers are intended to play a crucial role in providing financial protection. The cyber-insurance market is increasingly developing but with important uncertainties […]

The web session has two main aims: 1. Introduce the audience to the set of functional programming functions introduced in Excel 2024 (LAMBDA, LET, MAP, REDUCE, etc) and show how they can be used in practice to create algorithms previously out of Excel reach, such as loops, algorithms in more than 2 dimensions and recursion […]

Customers’ lives have changed – and life insurance must evolve with them. Innovation is no longer a choice but a necessity. Regulatory shifts, digitalisation, changing capital markets, rising customer expectations, and new competitors are reshaping the playing field. How can life insurers respond – developing products that are simpler and more relevant, while making product […]

The goal of the two-day web session is to provide participants with a comprehensive introduction to the new measurement, presentation and disclosure guidance for insurance contracts. It will cover life, health and non-life business, including the special guidance on direct participating contracts and shorter term non-life contracts and give useful examples. In the web session, […]

Open insurance is once again the talk of the town: Despite a lot of resistance from the industry, its relevance will certainly increase over time. Driven by the market – but also driven by regulation. This web session will provide insights into the new Financial Data Access regulation (FIDA) that is currently one of the […]

In an era marked by unprecedented technological advancements, the actuarial landscape has experienced profound transformations. The exponential growth of computational power and the abundance of data have converged and provide an exciting opportunity for the actuarial profession to redefine its boundaries and explore the ethical implications of this new field. The role of actuaries is […]

Non-Life insurance is facing many challenges ranging from fierce competition on the market or evolution in the distribution channel used by the consumers to evolution of the regulatory environment. Pricing is the central link between solvency, profitability and market shares (volume). Improving pricing practice encompasses several dimensions: - Technical: Is our pricing adequate to cover […]

The two-day online seminar is aimed at actuaries interested in getting started in the broad field of artificial intelligence. The aim is to teach key terms in the field of data science and artificial intelligence, essential concepts of machine learning, and social and regulatory frameworks. Developments in generative artificial intelligence will also be discussed. In […]

The purpose of this seminar is to provide participants with a solid understanding of both traditional and modern AI technologies, blending conceptual knowledge with hands-on coding exercises. Participants will learn to critically assess, implement, and experiment with machine learning models and generative AI techniques, and apply them effectively in actuarial practice, tailored to their professional […]
