The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has appointed Ann Muldoon as Director of Actuarial Policy. Ann will lead the development of the FRC’s strategy for actuarial standards and practice in the UK and its activities at EU and international level to monitor and influence actuarial regulation.
Ann Muldoon will join the FRC from Retirement Advantage (formerly MGM Advantage), where she is Chief Risk Officer. She brings a wealth of experience in risk management, implementation of new legislation and communication, including establishing an Enterprise Risk Management Framework for the MGM Advantage Group and leading the Solvency II programme for Friends Life.
Melanie McLaren, Executive Director Codes and Standards at the FRC, said,
“Actuarial work is at the heart of not just the pensions and insurance industries but is central to identifying and managing risk in the capital markets. The FRC is pursuing a programme of activities to ensure those that rely on the work of actuaries can be confident in the quality of that work. I am delighted that Ann will lead this vital programme of work for the FRC as we develop our framework for standards and behaviours.”
Ann Muldoon will join the FRC later in 2015.
