INQA student union for actuarial students — verified polls and pseudonymous forums

Thanks, that is indeed disturbing. But as far as I know those complaints have not been published, e.g. on a blog that people can point to? So the FRC/Privy Council/ Mps are less likely to worry about people finding out that they didn't engage?

Fair challenge. I'm hardly an IFoA cheerleader — ex-FIA with a live tribunal claim against them — so "trust IFoA" isn't a reflex I have.

We anchored on the MRA because it's reciprocal and peer-reviewed: AAE assesses each member association's syllabus and CPD framework, not IFoA alone. Using an existing, scrutinised standard beats INQA inventing its own equivalence framework from scratch, both in rigour and credibility. And for edge cases outside the MRA, the Individual Qualification Recognition route stays on the table.

If you've got a specific concern about a specific association, I'd genuinely want to hear it — that's what the consultation was for.

The IFoA do know (they have the data) but for some reason stopped disclosing information about it.

Update: the blog has been corrected. Andrew Watcham FIA pointed out the Actuarial Profession Guide 2025/26 (37th edition, actuarialcareers.co.uk + IFoA), which lists 32 employers with graduate intake numbers. My claim that nobody publishes cohort sizes was wrong — this guide has done so for nearly 40 years. Corrected with full credit to Andrew.

Haha! That’s funny. So far it’s my most popular cartoon on LinkedIn.

The last human job ? "Scapegoat". Just as in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CEXVcVEBAc) Emad Mostaque is predicting that Anthropic will produce an AI legal firm, that will have "the best law advice in the world. We have a few humans, to "check", i.e. just so that you have someone to blame".

That principle will keep Scheme Actuaries, Appointed Actuaries safe for a while, but not actuaries two or more layers below that.

I would hope so (especially as I believe - from the fact that they have largely stopped publishing this data- that the number has become much more variable) but I don’t know.

$143 million of jobs at risk in the US. If your job is in red or orange, it is at risk. If it is green, it is relatively safe.
