Actuarial Committee

The Actuarial Committee advises the Governing Committee with respect to pure premium rates. In addition, the Actuarial Committee conducts research, reviews rating values contained in the Experience Rating Plan, reviews methodologies used in developing the rating values reflected in the WCIRB's advisory rating plans, and provides guidance on the actuarial and research functions performed by the WCIRB. The Actuarial Committee is comprised of actuaries, who are Fellows of the Casualty Actuarial Society.
