Description: The actuarial profession now has an official definition of a model with the introduction of ASOP 56. In this session, we'll examine how the definition of this model has expanded and what it means for our daily work as modelers. Have your practices as a modeler complied with ASOP 56 since it was drafted? What new practices will you need to put in place to work in accordance with the new ASOP? We'll answer these questions as we delve into ASOP 56 and how it applies to modeling and the processes that support it. Interpret ASOP 56 as it applies to their daily work. Identify areas of their current processes that could be enhanced to better comply with ASOP 56. Design documentation in accordance with ASOP 56.
