The Memo Is Part of the Work
Draft actuarial findings with purpose, methods, assumptions, limitations, and reliance clearly separated.
The communication is where actuarial judgment becomes usable. Findings State the answer in plain language before the technical detail. The user should know what decision the finding supports. Support Summarize methods, assumptions, data sources, and reliance. The goal is not to dump every workbook tab; it is to let the intended user understand the basis of the conclusion. Boundaries Name material limitations and uncertainty. If the estimate should not be used for pricing, capital, or a different accounting date, say so. Good boundaries prevent misuse.
