The Quality Assurance Scheme (QAS), the IFoA’s voluntary, outcomes-based accreditation scheme for employers of actuaries, was reviewed last year to optimise value to members. It now operates with streamlined digital-first processes, offers access to exclusive QAS insights and best practice, and supports the latest diversity standards.

When the IFoA launched its latest strategy in early 2020, we also launched a fresh organisational purpose: to be the voice of actuaries, and to support, develop and be the voice of our members.

When the IFoA was formed in 2010, our two predecessor bodies agreed the governance arrangements that we retain today: an elected governing Council, a Management Board that bridges our organisation’s strategy and operations, and an Executive that advances the IFoA day by day.
