Who is an Actuary?
As per the Institute & Faculty of Actuaries, UK “Actuaries are Problem Solvers and Strategic Thinkers, who use their Mathematical skills to help measure the Probability and Risk of Future Events. They use these Skills to predict the Financial Impact of these Events on a Business and their Clients.”
The Subject of Actuarial Science cover several areas such as Life (Long Term) Insurance, General (Non-Life) Insurance, Risk Management, Investments and Pensions.

“The Actuarial modules for Non-Actuaries conducted by Saroja was a very useful, successful course as a whole for me being a Commercial Lawyer, working in the leading Stated owned insurance company in Sri Lanka. I found modules like Asset-Liability Management, Risk Based Capital, Risk Management and Reserving were very useful.
In fact, this is a very rare opportunity to explore the underlying theories and assumptions based on which Actuaries work on which are equally important for Non-Actuaries as well.
Saroja gave us ample opportunities to ask questions and also she was always willing to share her knowledge without attempting to make Actuarial Science a mystery to Non-Actuaries. I would like to highly recommend the course to any future followers.”

Actuarial Training Programme for Non-Actuaries – Life Insurance
“I would say this training program was comprehensively planned and delivered in an exemplary
manner, so the content was precious.
The training program expanded my scope of RBC as risk management concerning the life
insurance industry. I could deeply understand the operations and planning of the life insurance
process with its pricing aspects behind the theoretical aspects. Comprehensive actuarial
calculations for the RBC reserving were a major area of study for everyone interested in the
insurance field.
Further, I would like to suggest these actuarial calculations on product pricing and reserving for
RBC are required for students and researchers who focus on life insurance and the financial
industry.”

Especially, when working under the Finance background, her theories are very convenient for Solvency and Risk Analysis.
The doubts and misinterpretations that had been met before in preparing Actuarial Reports could get cleared, because of Saroja’s well organized course materials.
I learnt about lots of areas from these GI Actuarial Training Sessions and they were very impressive. They are closely related to my workings under Finance and Actuaries.
