5. OECD guidelines on insurer governance (2011)
The actuarial function should preferably be filled by an appointed actuary.
The dismissal or resignation of the actuary should be reported to supervisors and, as appropriate or required, publicly disclosed.
Actuary should inform the board and external auditor if neccessary and, if no suitable action is taken, the supervisory authority.
The actuary should, in addition to having requisite integrity and expertise, be a member in good standing in a professional association that requires adherence to sounds standards of actuarial practice, quality control and ethics.
The independence of actuarial and audit functions should be especially promoted.
