Summary This paper is a contribution to the current discussion about future developments in actuarial education. The actuarial education systems administered by the Society of Actuaries, the Casualty Actuarial Society and the Faculty and Institute of Actuaries are under review once more, with a view to making further radical changes by 2005. A fundamental objective of the reviews is to broaden the scope of the profession. This paper argues the importance of providing actuaries with business skills, as well as technical actuarial skills, and suggests that future actuaries will be best served by setting much of the training explicitly in a business context. |
