Description: This article reviews why financial reporting controls are relevant to actuaries. It also discusses the impact of LDTI on controls and the strategic decisions that insurers need to make.

Description: There is a lot of focus on GTI and its impact on modeling, methodology and transition. However, given the dependencies that exist on the data infrastructure, the implementation of the guidelines is an ideal opportunity to also streamline and improve data storage, data transformation, and reporting processes to create an efficient, effective and scalable data solution. This session will focus on the specific impacts and possible solutions to the following data processes: In force data Experience studies and assumption setting post model data feeds and subledger processes Data warehouse and reporting systems

Description: We will determine the role of risk function in evaluating operational risks associated with the implementation of LDTI and any system conversions. Are all models validated by the risk function before they are productionalized and results used by management to make business decisions? Does the risk function play a part in to assist finance, actuarial and investor relations in communicating changes and volatility resulting from LDTI? If not, should it? We will articulate the role that risk functions play in being part of large transformation from the start as a stakeholder/input provider to subsequently being an independent reviewer (i.e., second Line of defense).
