ICBC is one of BC's largest corporations and one of Canada's largest property and casualty (P&C) insurers with annual earned premiums of $4.9 billion and $23.7 billion in assets.





ICBC's actuaries primarily work in two areas: Insurance Pricing and Corporate Actuarial. Insurance Pricing has responsibility for overall rate recommendations for both Basic and Optional Insurance products, rate design, program evaluation, and other insurance modeling projects. Corporate Actuarial has responsibility for the estimation of ICBC's IBNR reserves, analyzing claims data and other relevant factors to identify future claims trends, financial reporting (discounting of unpaid claims, ULAE reserve), and capital adequacy testing to determine ICBC's internal capital management MCT targets.
