Following a successful pilot of QAS in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore in 2017, the IFoA's QAS is expanding its accreditation scheme globally. 

Since its initial launch the IFoA's QAS has gone from strength to strength, with 33 organisations of different sizes and services now accredited in the UK, demonstrating a strong commitment to actuarial professionalism. We hope to award accreditation to the first organisations based outside of the UK by May 2018.

The QAS has many benefits to organisations including improving and positively raising the profile of your actuarial services, demonstrating commitment to your employees and clients and providing an opportunity to be involved in developments in quality assurance and regulation. 

If you are interested in finding out more about why QAS is right for you then please visit the website at bit.ly/2EESWSq or contact Emma Gilpin or Sarah Keenan at [email protected] or on 0131 255 0286.
