The past year has been one of great turbulence in the financial sector. The global economic crisis has continued to have a significant impact on the way our members work and the way in which the Profession supports its members. Many of the activities detailed in this report have been shaped by the changes and challenges faced by our members, and others, as a result of the crisis.

However, the Profession has also maintained a longer-term focus in its activities and plans for the future in the areas of member support, learning, regulation and communications.

This year, the Profession established fresh objectives to:

  • Provide world-class membership services
  • Build a quality framework which promotes public confidence in the work of actuaries
  • Enhance the Profession's reputation in traditional and non-traditional areas.

These objectives have been designed to support our members in their careers and it is important to recognise the range of ways that we work with our various and valuable partners to provide this support. On this site you will hear from actuaries at different stages of their careers and other stakeholders about the ways they work with the Profession. You will also read about some of our main successes and our future plans in this report.
