Pensions and Actuarial Services Ltd achieves QAS accreditation

Open-access content Monday 3rd October 2016 — updated 5.50pm, Wednesday 29th April 2020

Pensions and Actuarial Services Limited has recently been awarded the IFoA’s Quality Assurance Scheme (QAS) accreditation.

Pensions and Actuarial Services Limited has recently been awarded the IFoA's Quality Assurance Scheme (QAS) accreditation.

Robert Childs, head of operations at Pensions and Actuarial Services Limited, says: "We are pleased the IFoA has established an accreditation scheme that sets the benchmark for firms to aspire to; focusing on quality of outcome and the processes in place to ensure that end. Given the nature of our work and the calibre of our client base, an accreditation that is specifically orientated to firms performing actuarial services is very attractive. 

"The accreditation visit was challenging and thought-provoking, and having an independent expert offer a fresh perspective on our operations ultimately proved very useful.

"We are delighted to have achieved accreditation and to be able to demonstrate our commitment to quality to our clients."

The QAS scheme was launched by the IFoA to recognise organisations who wish to demonstrate their commitment to effective quality assurance at an organisational level. To find out more and discover how your company should go about applying for accreditation visit bit.ly/2bXFcmM
