You are probably familiar with some of it anyway from your work duties. So don't spend too long here – you can always refer back when necessary. Among the facts you have to memorize are:

  • advantages/disadvantages of various data aggregation methods (CY, AY, RY, PY)

Organizing the Data

We'll start with some very basic information. This would likely never be asked on the exam but it's something you should know.

Question': what are the 5 key dates for the organization of claim data [Hint: PARAV]
Policy effective dates: beginning and ending dates of the policy term
Accident date: the date the accident or event occurred that triggered coverage
Report date: the date the claims was reported/recorded in the claim system
Accounting date: defines a group of claims for which liability exists, often Dec 31 of the given year
Valuation date : the date through which transactions are included in the data used by the actuary for the analysis, often Dec 31 of the given year
