Measurement of Liabilities for Insurance Contracts: Current Estimates and Risk Margins — The ad hoc Risk Margin Working Group (RMWG) of the International Actuarial Association (IAA) has conducted research into the measurement of liabilities for insurance contracts that has resulted in this paper. The issues addressed are those that will help determine future practice for measuring liabilities for insurance contracts for both regulatory and general purpose financial reporting. It focuses on current estimates and risk margins, which the RMWG believes to be an appropriate basis for the measurement of liabilities for insurance contracts. During the course of this research the RMWG has sought and incorporated input from various stakeholders in the measurement of these liabilities. ( Online Order Form)

Note on Enterprise Risk Management for Pensions — This paper provides an important summary of the pension industry's perspective on Enterprise Risk Management for capital and solvency purposes in the insurance industry, noting that:
- in pensions the sponsoring company is generally not an insurance company and therefore pension issues should, in the sponsoring employer, be dealt with in the general framework of ERM, not just in a framework adapted to insurers; and
- while pensions have much in common with insurance contracts, there are quite a few differences, meaning that the framework adapted to insurers is not directly applicable to pension funds.
