If you’re interested in such things, you’re probably already aware of this. However, the draft of the “Critical Review of the United States Actuarial Profession” report by the American Academy of Actuaries has been released. Comments are due by 31 October.
CRUSAP, a presidential initiative of the American Academy of Actuaries, was launched in May 2005 with the establishment of the CRUSAP Task Force. The task force is conducting a critical analysis of the American actuarial profession, using enterprise risk management and management consulting techniques.
Focusing on such challenges as globalization, the decline of pension plans, and a changing financial-services marketplace for actuarial skills, CRUSAP’s mission is to identify risks and opportunities facing the U.S. profession, and to make recommendations for managing them.
Presumably an unofficial discussion will take place at the Actuarial Outpost forum.
I’d offer a quick summary, but with the executive summary running 13 pages long, it’s going to take time to slog through this. Perhaps I’ve found my “airplane reading” for my trip next week.
