Description: This webcast will walk through several statistical methods for imputing race and ethnicity from U.S. datasets, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses, talking about how to use them and evaluating their accuracy, and telling you where you can get code packages as well as a free dataset to try the methods out.

Description: Explore the role of inflation across health products, including medical plans, disability, and long-term care. Explore various drivers of cost trends, wage increase, and cost of care. Understand their role in the pricing and valuation of a product and how to manage the risk.

Description: Long-duration targeted improvements (LDTI) will have unique consequences for long-term care and disability income. Discuss how to address these issues and learn more aboutboth standalone and combination LTC contracts. Understand the impact of LDTI on DAC, policies which previously held zero active life reserves, and allocation of IBNR to cohorts. By attending the session, you will: - Be able to create and defend accounting policies and to implement actuarial models consistent with the new U.S. GAAP accounting rules.

Description: Internal audit (IA) projects typically focus on evaluating the risks and operational effectiveness of a company’s technological, regulatory/compliance, and/or financial processes and procedures. Because LDTI and IFRS 17 compliance will require extensive rewiring of existing and possibly the implementation of new processes and procedures to comply with the new accounting requirements, IA will be critical in conducting the initial risk assessment of these changes, monitoring of the process changeover, and conducting a post-implementation validation after conversion. Explore many specific areas that will be impacted, highlight those aspects likely to be under the IA magnifying glass, and find out how you can best prepare your IA teams to understand the changes and expedite the testing timeframes of their audits. By attending the session, you will be able to: • Understand general IA testing approach and framework. • Identify and address the key processes and procedures likely to be impacted by accounting change. • Build a communication plan that tailors the level of detail of documentation to the intended audience. (e.g., Leadership and BOD) • Document decisions made and implemented with IA in mind.
