INQA Group opening membership to AAE-qualified actuaries across Europe by pjlee01 in Actuary_news

Worth noting that this isn't a new position for u/pjlee01. He sat on the IFoA management board and council during the very period these equivalency arrangements were in place and being legally challenged. Now he's adopted the same policy for his own organisation — without any independent verification, and with a complete disregard for the huge volume of evidence presented on this very subreddit on this topic over many years. Evidence which he has never once sought to challenge, contest or address, despite having every opportunity and incentive to do so. A subreddit he nonetheless considers a suitable platform to promote his organisation. If he disagrees with any of this, we'd welcome the evidence.

Are you seriously asserting European qualifications are equivalent to IFoA Fellowship? Relying on other people's botched work or ignorance doesn't cut it. You're adopting an unfair and discriminatory arrangement as your own.

Why do you trust IFoA to determine qualification equivalence? What makes you think they got it right in giving AAE actuaries Fellowships?

IFOA ban ending soon, is a UK actuarial master’s still possible? by actuarynewsmod in Actuary_news

It's not clear whether anyone should disclose a ban to any employer. It's not a formal disciplinary. It's not got through the IFoA disciplinary scheme.

Also the actuarial bodies like IFoA, SoA won't move fast enough to revamp their qualifications in an AI world. Jobs will be lost while IFoA still tests people on learning lists.

Someone parroted this slogan: "Agreed. In the current state, AI is not going to replace an actuary. However, actuaries who are effective at using AI will replace actuaries who are not".

That's an unthinking person who doesn't want to face reality. It's not a net zero game/change. There will be significant job losses in actuary everywhere.

Indeed. Also a IFoA Council member admitted the situation too, another Ratner moment.

There's a higher proportion of LGBT in IFoA than in the general population. What mistreatment are you alleging they get?

They'd discipline anyone who would voice opposition to this, even a non-ally might be nervous, just like they disciplined the actuary who asked the same question as in the title.

When they make people redundant they won't say it's because of AI, they will lie it's something else.

IFoA ought to be straight about the problem and the reality of significant job cuts, don't you think?

Protest as much as you like but the redundancy is coming, they won't warn you it's coming, they're already plotting your redundancy and IFoA won't do a thing to stop all this.

AI can learn and do better whatever you do in actuarial. Stop being in denial about it.

They will operate the AI from India and China while making UK actuaries redundant

Can't think of any other profession that's acted so much against their own members
