The South African Financial Institutions Office mandates self-administered pension funds to submit a standardized valuator report on asset-liability matching alongside their statutory Section 16(1) actuarial valuation. Issued in conjunction with national actuarial societies, the circular provides a mandatory certification template and requires initial compliance for all funds investigated on or after 1 October 1989. Valuations that cannot be signed without qualification must explicitly detail any deficiencies in the fund's asset structure or liability matching procedures.
