Hot topics on CAS Convention menu

The mid-May annual meeting of the Casualty Actuarial Society will feature presentations on some of this year's hottest topics in insurance law and regulation.

A general session on the future of finite reinsurance "will review some basics of finite insurance and will present the viewpoints of an auditor, a rating agency, an insurer, and a finite insurance purchaser. It will discuss the prevalence of using finite insurance to mask true results and legitimate uses of finite insurance, as well as how to distinguish between the two."

Other topics include: aviation pricing and modeling, California workers' compensation, medical malpractice costs, the future of TRIA, hurricanes and reinsurance, insurance accounting, privacy of information and terrorism modeling.

I suspect that might draw a crowd this spring in Phoenix.
