Publications

The IAA has published 3 Monographs. They are available as E-Books and can be purchased from the IAA Website.

The Risk Book, which currently consists of 20 chapters, provides high-quality reference materials to help readers better understand how actuaries contribute to the assessment and management of risks and inherently uncertain future outcomes often in the financial services (insurance, investment, pension etc.) but also more broadly.

The ASTIN Bulletin - The Journal of the IAA was founded in 1958. Over decades it has evolved and is now widely regarded as the leading international refereed journal of the actuarial profession, covering the full breadth of practical and theoretical work in actuarial science.

The IAA regularly publishes educational and informational documents to be made publicly available to stakeholders. These papers have been categorized by subject area which you can access by clicking the links below. In some cases, translations of certain IAA papers have been made by local member associations or members. The IAA has neither reviewed nor endorsed them. However, we are providing them on our website as a service to members.

An International Actuarial Note (IAN) is an educational document that provides information on current or emerging practices in relation to an international actuarial topic. It serves to familiarize actuaries with approaches that might be taken and to demonstrate how the actuarial profession might approach the topic. 

The IAA develops International Standards of Actuarial Practice (ISAPs) which are model standards of practice. The IAA encourages its member associations to have in place standards of practice that are substantially consistent with these standards. ISAPs are model standards of actuarial practice and, as such, are not binding on any actuary.

The IAA provides public comments on international exposure papers to lend the actuarial profession's collective voice and technical expertise to global policy discussions. By engaging in this process, the IAA ensures actuarial perspectives inform standards development while maintaining the profession's relevance and influence in key areas like insurance, pensions, and risk management.
