Description: The Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS), the Society of Actuaries (SOA) and the Society of Insurance Research (SIR) started developing research addressing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) topics. Join panelists as they briefly present an overview of their organization's DEI research and share their perspectives on common challenges facing all the stages of this research: - Planning relevant and timely research with a long timeline. - Getting appropriate data and resources to support your research. - Communicating research on topics that may be controversial.

Description: Explore the role of inflation across health products, including medical plans, disability, and long-term care. Explore various drivers of cost trends, wage increase, and cost of care. Understand their role in the pricing and valuation of a product and how to manage the risk.

Description: Our panel of experts will explore 'Blue Zone' communities, the common denominators slowing the aging process and the potential impacts these initiatives could have on disability and long-term care insurance.

Description: Explore the findings from the research paper recently released by Milliman and the SOA, highlighting the growing need for support of informal/family caregivers. We will discuss both quantitative and qualitative data that illustrates not only the cost and burgeoning need, but the mental/emotional stressors that come along with this work.

Description: Internal audit (IA) projects typically focus on evaluating the risks and operational effectiveness of a company’s technological, regulatory/compliance, and/or financial processes and procedures. Because LDTI and IFRS 17 compliance will require extensive rewiring of existing and possibly the implementation of new processes and procedures to comply with the new accounting requirements, IA will be critical in conducting the initial risk assessment of these changes, monitoring of the process changeover, and conducting a post-implementation validation after conversion. Explore many specific areas that will be impacted, highlight those aspects likely to be under the IA magnifying glass, and find out how you can best prepare your IA teams to understand the changes and expedite the testing timeframes of their audits. By attending the session, you will be able to: • Understand general IA testing approach and framework. • Identify and address the key processes and procedures likely to be impacted by accounting change. • Build a communication plan that tailors the level of detail of documentation to the intended audience. (e.g., Leadership and BOD) • Document decisions made and implemented with IA in mind.
