The International Actuarial Association (IAA), in collaboration with the Access to Insurance Initiative (A2ii), has unveiled a mini-series of seminars focused on Risk-based Financial Management and Supervision.  This series is intended to partially fill the gap left by the curtailment of face-to-face training opportunities during the COVID-19 pandemic, but in future may also constitute an additional resource available to complement face-to-face training sessions.

This mini-series target audience consists of supervisory staff at any level, including, but not limited to, developing countries. However, the material and seminars will also be available to the IAA’s broader audience, including actuaries and other interested parties. The three part mini-series will be held in January, focusing on Asia-Pacific time zones. In February, the focus will be time zones covering the Americas and Africa, and will also feature simultaneous translation to French and Spanish.
