Abstract: | This paper deals with the Financial Services Authority's (FSA) reforms of the unique corporate governance (here as: corp-gov.) arrangements of U.K. life insurers. Particularly, explored is the need for special arrangements for the governance of with-profits funds, the role of actuaries in corp-gov. and the proposals for reform, resulted from the FSA's report(s) into the problems experienced at the Equitable Life Assurance Company. It is concluded that post-Cadbury trends in corp-gov., in combination with the FSA's reforms, have placed boards at the centre stage of actuarial governance with directors no longer able to abrogate responsibility for actuarial decisions. |
