Which of the following describes the requirements to be a 'qualified actuary' for signing casualty loss reserve opinions?

The ability to sign casualty loss reserve opinions rests on having both recognized actuarial credentials and formal authorization. A person must be a member in good standing either with the CAS or with the AAA, and must have been approved as qualified for signing casualty loss reserve opinions by the Casualty Practice Council of the AAA. This combination ensures the signer has proven actuarial expertise and has been vetted by the profession for this specific responsibility. Simply holding CAS membership or AAA membership alone isn’t enough without the CPC approval, and having both memberships still requires that AAA CPC qualification. A general accountant license does not provide the actuarial qualification or the required authorization.
