KSAAC's six disciplines and the core capabilities in each. Every discipline has its own standards and methods; in practice, most assignments draw on two or more at once.

    • IFRS reporting & accounting policy
    • Complex transactions & fair value
    • Financial close & accounting systems
    • Tax considerations

  2. Actuarial

    Measuring insurance and long-term obligations, and keeping the assumptions and models behind them explainable.

Where disciplines meet in practice

  • IFRS 17

    Measuring insurance contracts (actuarial)⁠, reporting and closing (accounting) and their capital impact (risk) meet in one assignment.

  • K-⁠ICS

    Liability valuation, required capital and interest-rate risk are linked, so actuarial and risk work move together.

  • Valuing an insurer

    Embedded value needs both valuation methods (finance) and actuarial measurement.

  • Digital assets

    Accounting, tax, valuation and risk are reviewed together, on an understanding of the technology.
