Quality review and sign-off

质量审查与审批

Before any client-facing draft:
  1. Technical completeness — exhibits tie to data cutoff; bridges reconcile
  2. Narrative consistency — memo, deck, and appendix use same definitions
  3. Audience test — executive summary understandable without actuarial training
  4. Independence check — no advocacy language beyond supported analysis
  5. EQ / peer review — logged comments resolved or documented as exceptions
  6. Versioning — draft watermark until final; distribution list approved
Coordinate with
technical-program-manager
when actuarial work is one stream in a larger transaction program (shared milestones only).
在向客户提交任何草稿前:
  1. 技术完整性 —— 附件与数据截止日期一致;衔接数据准确
  2. 叙事一致性 —— 备忘录、演示文稿及附录使用统一定义
  3. 受众测试 —— 执行摘要无需精算知识即可理解
  4. 独立性检查 —— 无超出支持分析范围的倾向性表述
  5. 同行评审 —— 记录的意见已解决或作为例外情况存档
  6. 版本控制 —— 最终版前添加草稿水印;分发清单已获批
当精算工作是大型交易项目中的一个工作流时(仅共享里程碑),需与
technical-program-manager
协调。

Common pitfalls

常见陷阱

  • Scope creep without change order when new LOBs or models are added mid-engagement
  • Orphan exhibits that do not support a stated conclusion in the memo
  • Metric drift between deck, memo, and public filings
  • Dual role pressure (consultant validates own prior model build)
  • Missing data treated as zero rather than flagged as limitation
  • Regulatory meeting prep that crosses into legal interpretation—escalate to
    commercial-counsel
  • 范围蔓延:项目中期新增业务线或模型时未签署变更单
  • 孤立附件:附件未支持备忘录中陈述的结论
  • 指标不一致:演示文稿、备忘录与公开申报文件中的指标存在差异
  • 双重角色压力:顾问需验证自己之前构建的模型
  • 缺失数据:将缺失数据视为零而非标注为限制条件
  • 监管会议准备:涉及法律解读时需升级至
