IABA has launched a new timeline website, Black History and the Evolution of the Insurance Industry in America, created to acknowledge historical events and government policies that are foundations of systemic racism in the US, touching on the insurance industry itself and adjacent events that have impacted, and continue to impact, Black people in the U.S.

IFoA launches new Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategy which pulls together a number of key initiatives designed to help the organisation understand, reflect and act to make the profession a more inclusive place for learners, educators, institutions and IFoA members, so they can come together to achieve their goals.

Actuview Year in Review. Last year actuview improved personal user profiles to give users a better overview of their options and actions on the platform. This includes a revised CPD feature that tracks viewing by the second and even reminds users of videos they must finish in order to receive CPD credits.
Remember, ALL CAA members have free access through individual codes assigned to us. If you have not received, or have lost, your code please contact the CAA Secretariat.
