Council

Council is the body that governs and controls the IFoA and its affairs. It discharges this responsibility by determining the vision for the IFoA and the actuarial profession, while delegating the overall leadership of the IFoA to the IFoA Board who hold the Executive to account for strategic and operational delivery. With appropriate oversight from Council, the IFoA Board is responsible for running the affairs of the IFoA, in accordance with the vision set by Council.

Established under our Royal Charter, Council both reserves to itself and delegates to the IFoA Board, our Boards, and Committees, and the Chief Executive certain powers.

The role, responsibilities, and procedural rules applying to the business of Council – and the powers which it delegates to others – are set out in the IFoA’s Constitution.

The approved minutes for past Council meetings can be found below. To contact the Corporate Secretary, please email CorpSec@actuaries.org.uk.
