The review identified that while actuaries maintain good practices, there is a critical need for clarity on regulatory expectations and safeguards to protect the role's impartiality from senior management influence. These findings led to the publication of a policy note outlining specific expectations for insurers and appointed actuaries to strengthen risk management and policyholder security.
