The Scottish Board’s role is to:
- Represent the IFoA and its activities in Scotland
- Provide a focus for its members based in Scotland or who have strong links to Scotland
Purpose
Under Regulation 15 of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, the purpose of the Scottish Board is “to foster the actuarial community in Scotland”.
- Responding to the needs of that actuarial community.
- Promote, support and facilitate actuarial activities in Scotland.
- For actuaries and students in Scotland to have a platform to continue to participate fully in the profession to benefit themselves, their clients and the wider financial community in Scotland.
- The hope that, in turn, the contributions and influence of actuaries in Scotland will help raise the profile of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries and serve the public interest more widely.
