Validating operational risk models
For SBA, what tends to happen is that you carry out scenario analysis at Level 2, but then the problem you face is that you only focus on one or two sub-risks; hence the question arises as to whether we are properly covering all the other sub-risks. Often, life companies might only be collecting data for 20 years or so, and this might not be enough time, particularly for very low-frequency, high-impact losses. If you are validating a Solvency II Internal Model, the fact that you, as an independent knowledgeable third party, cannot understand the model means that there has probably been a breach of Internal Model rules regarding documentation. The inputs like the actual loss data and scenarios have a lot to offer to the business.

By the numbers
\"Actuary Penny Sinclair has a head for business, and she always makes rational decisions. Knowing that 60% of spouses cheat and 50% of marriages end in divorce, she wasn't too surprised when her husband had an affair ... She just made sure she got everything in the divorce, including their lovely old Victorian house. And as soon as her middle daughter has her ... wedding in the backyard, she's trading it in for a condo in downtown Chicago ... But then life happens. Her children, her parents, and her ex come flying back to the nest ... Spread thin, Penny becomes the poster child for the 'sandwich generation,' when all she really wanted to do was make managing director, buy a white couch, and maybe go on a Match.com date\"-- Provided by publisher.

Change or Die
The author shares his experience with the vast number of changes over the last 50 years of ERISA-and also some things that never change! ou know you're getting old when the one of the editors at the Journal of Pension Benefits asks you to write an article about your experience with the 50 years of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). [...]by 2003, I was setting up Cash Balance plans for clients. Insurance agents still try to sell life insurance to Defined Benefit and Cash Balance sponsors; there are always takeover plans that leave you scratching your head once you see how poorly some work is done; and IRS agents still waste our time asking questions that make little sense.
