Actuarial services

Understand how actuarial valuations enhance decision making on different topics, including new regulations, pensions, audits and more.

New regulations affecting specific sectors mean increasingly demanding reporting requirements. IFRS 17 for the insurance industry is one such example.

  • Are you able to meet the requirements of new regulations alone or do you need support?

  • Are you prepared to meet the requirements in the given timeframe? 

  • Do you need some help to validate your “principle-based” assumptions?

Your Challenges

Pensions

  • Is your firm prepared to face all the challenges arising from an aging workforce and increased longevity?
  • Do you have an adequate pension plan for employees, so they’re prepared for the financial consequences of retiring?
  • Do you require actuarial valuations of employee benefits for IFRS or US GAAP reporting?
  • Do you want to have the complete picture of the risks inherent to your pension plan or its financing vehicle?
How we can help

We can help you to design a pension plan (or update your existing pension plan) in line with your HR philosophy and with a view to optimizing your investment for your employees. 

We can also support you in mapping risks, in order to help you prioritize and manage the risks associated with your pension plan, especially if your plan is financed through a pension fund. In that case, we can act as a risk manager and propose tools that will help you in your daily life by providing you with a regular and in-depth monitoring of these risks.

Actuarial valuations can be particularly beneficial before, during and following a merger or acquisition to help you estimate costs and integrate employee benefit schemes efficiently.

For pension funds, our expertise and market knowledge can help you to meet annual accounting requirements with regard to technical provisions, and to complete the ad hoc reporting efficiently.
