How can we help you?

We can provide insights for your business and sharpening your competitive edge.

Actuarial Processes

Machine learning, data analytics, process intelligence and operational excellence provides tools for improving the actuarial processes. Together with our Digital Services colleagues, we can deliver data-based insights using these modern methods and have access to state-of-the-art techniques like robotic process automatization (RPA) and chatbots to help improve your processes. You can improved the effectiveness of your actuarial resources through efficient, value-enhancing processes. Our deep insight into the insurance market and collaboration with new technologies can provide you with solutions adapted to your needs.

Assurance and Model Validation

Accurate financial disclosures and investor analysis is the cornerstone of any successful insurance business. Our market leading experience, integration with audit and close links with regulators, make us uniquely placed to provide assurance over your actuarial calculations. SST internal model approvals and SII validations gives comfort to your boards to know you are meeting the regulatory requirements.

Capital Management

You get insights into effective risk management and how to optimise your capital management. This can provide opportunities to maximise new regulation and support your strategic ambitions. We can provide insights into your capital strategic and effective risk management critical to generating favourable and sustainable returns.

Health and Accident Insurance

You get end-to-end solutions which are tailored to your needs from the small niche player to the largest player. We can support you in order to comply with regulatory demands and provide latest solutions regarding value and risk based management, asset liability management, solvency modelling, pricing strategies, reserving, reinsurance, predictive health and robotics.

Life Insurance Companies and Pension Funds

The current phase of low interest rates is challenging for life insurers and pension funds, particularly under the high guarantees in the second pillar (BVG). Moreover, essential changes to the legal and regulatory framework create opportunities to adjust the tariff premiums and mitigate some of the interest rate risks. For example “Reform der Altersvorsorge 2020” allows the financing of the conversion losses through a longevity premium and demands a reduced margin in the risk premiums. We can provide you with analysis, financial modelling, and support in these regulatory matters.

Non-Life Reinsurance Companies

The non-life insurance environment is becoming increasingly dynamic, with profound changes to the demands on actuaries. The challenges faced by our clients include regulatory changes (e.g. StandRe), reporting standard changes (e.g. IFRS 17), premium rating of new risks (e.g. cyber), automation of actuarial systems and the incorporation of new analytical methods (e.g. machine learning). These changes impact the business in myriad ways, from new models and new processes to new profitability measures and KPIs. PwC’s experts are ready to support you, from assessing the financial and business impacts for your company through to the implementation of your solution.

Transactions

You get assistance on the end-to-end process, including deal identification, due diligence, actuarial appraisal and valuation, advice on accounting implications, negotiation and communication with regulatory authorities to achieve successful business transformation.

Gearing up for IFRS 17

On 18 May 2017, the IASB finalised its project on insurance accounting and published IFRS 17 which will fundamentally change the accounting for entities issuing insurance and investment contracts with discretionary participation features.
