Actuarial Society of South Africa The Actuarial Society of South Africa Advances Actuarial Excellence by Educating, Upholding and Developing

Actuaries are professionals who are equipped with skills that empower them to take on a variety of challenges. This page celebrates the achievements of South African actuaries who used their actuarial skills to navigate previously uncharted waters. It demonstrates the versatility and value of the actuarial skills set. We salute these pioneers, hoping that their success will inspire others to break new ground. In the words of Frank Redington, โ€œan actuary who is only an actuary is not an actuaryโ€.

We are thrilled to share highlights from the recent SA Maths Foundation (SAMF) awards ceremony in Cape Town, celebrating the nation's brightest young mathematical minds.

A special highlight of the evening was having our very own President, Nalen Naidoo, in attendance to present the award for the 'ASSA South African Maths Team Competition' to this year's winning teams from Western Province! Congratulations to all the medallists, top-performing schools, and dedicated educators recognised for inspiring the next generation of problem-solvers.

With models now driving key financial figures, actuarial work faces increased audit scrutiny - often by other actuaries acting as subject matter experts. Unlike accountants governed by ISAs, reviewing actuaries lack equivalent professional standards.

Drawing on consulting and financial reporting experience, this session examines where review approaches diverge (from modelling and discount rates to pipeline premiums) and asks: what should the profession do about it?
