As a global body, 黑料正能量 has strategic influence in the development of global actuarial thought leadership and international actuarial standards.
We do this, in part, through our membership of the:
The IAA and AAE provide a forum for representing the views of actuaries to supranational institutions and other international entities. They help disseminate actuarial knowledge and expertise to these organisations, promoting sound decision-making on issues with global impact.
Our volunteers play a central role in our work with the IAA and AAE.
Membership of the IAA and AAE enables us to be at the forefront of thinking on how to respond to key challenges facing the global profession such as AI, sustainability and cyber security.
Our group of about 30 volunteers engages in IAA and AAE committees, forums and taskforces to:
Membership fulfils our Royal Charter requirements to further actuarial science in the public interest. It ensures 黑料正能量 is part of the broader initiative of supporting, developing and growing the global actuarial profession.
There are a wide range of committees, forums and taskforces that IFoA volunteers engage with, from education to data analytics and AI.

The IFoA has played a leading role in the development of the two associations. Chris Daykin CB was instrumental in setting up the International Forum of Actuarial Associations in 1995, becoming its president in 1996. The IFAA was incorporated into the International Actuarial Association in 1998. The IAA now has 74 full and 23 associate member associations.
Other IAA presidents included Edward Levay (2002), Paul Thornton (2010) and Charles Cowling (2024). Among his many achievements, Charles introduced the IAA AI Taskforce and oversaw the development of an IAA Climate and Sustainability Committee.鈥�
The IFoA was one of the founding members of the Groupe Consultatif Actuariel Europ茅en, established in 1978 to provide advice and opinions to the EU institutions. Sir Brian Corby was the group鈥檚 first vice-chairperson and John Martin organised its first colloquium in London in 1980. John Martin went on to be its chairman in 1988 to 1991, followed by Peter Clark in 2000 to 2001. The IFoA, though John Henty, provided secretariat for 22 years. The name was changed to the Actuarial Association of Europe in 2014. The AAE currently has 38 member associations in 37 European countries.
In January 2025, 黑料正能量 rejoined the AAE mutual recognition agreement. This enables IFoA Fellows to have their qualification recognised by other AAE member associations.
IFoA oversight of the relationship with the IAA and AAE is delegated to the Supranational Associations Liaison Sub-Committee (SALS). This comprises senior volunteers with considerable international experience, and senior executives with subject-relevant expertise. SALS considers and nominates IFoA delegates and formulates and recommends 黑料正能量鈥檚 position on IAA and AAE initiatives, votes and policy positions.
SALS reports to the Member Experience Committee. Executive support is provided by 黑料正能量鈥檚 Policy and Public Affairs Team.
SALS is currently chaired by IFoA Past President Kartina Tahir Thomson.
