SIGMA Actuarial Consulting group have produced a booklet that discusses the most effective ways to utilize an actuary for a competitive advantage. It will be available for free download until the end of 2009.
Aimed at non-actuaries, it provides a straightforward and easy to understand discussion of actuarial topics. The book identifies common problems encountered by brokers, CFOs, and risk managers when working with actuaries, presents strategies for preventing these problems and provides specific examples of real world applications of actuarial analyses.

As one of the largest and most respected specialist Actuarial Recruitment Consultancies worldwide, GAAPS Actuarial has earned a reputation for providing an efficient executive service to both candidates and employers.
Our strategic international infrastructure meets the unique needs of the Actuarial professional at all levels from Graduate entry to Managing Partner or Board Member and key personnel are qualified practitioners of the actuarial professions, playing significant roles in actuarial associations around the world.
The GAAPS Group has bought out the minority shareholder of Interim GAAPS – our interim management subsidiary. This is part of our expansion plans, and we are intending to develop the operations of Interim GAAPS to provide interim managers to continental Europe, South Africa and the Asia Pacific region.
GAAPS believes this acquisition will enable us to make substantial improvements to the services we offer to candidates and employers in the interim industry. This acquisition will not change the remit of Interim GAAPS, as they will continue to place interims across the financial services sector.
Prior to this acquisition, The GAAPS Group held a 51% stake in Interim GAAPS.
Dr Geraldine Kaye, Managing Director of The GAAPS Group, comments: “We are very excited at the expansion of our interim executive activity. For some time we have been looking at how we can improve our interim manager service and this acquisition will give us the right platform on which to make those changes.”
As a result of this acquisition, Interim GAAPs will be looking to recruit new consultants.
