Cost of SAO

In order to determine if the insurer is exempt from providing the SAO due to financial hardship, how is the cost of the SAO determined?

  • This is not discussed in the text so you wouldn't have to know it for the exam, but here is what I know:

    The cost of obtaining a Statement of Actuarial Opinion (SAO) for U.S. insurers can vary depending on several factors. While there is no standardized cost calculation method, some key factors influencing the cost include:

    • Complexity of the insurer's business:
    • Size of the insurer
    • Regulatory requirements
    • Expertise of the actuary
    • Competition and market factors

    The specific cost of the SAO would have to evaluated independently for each case.
