This modeling might range from projections of new business for initial rate development to complicated testing of an entire company’s reserves using cash flow testing of assets and liabilities. We also have developed custom reporting tools that not only help present financial projections in a format that captures key financial measures, but also can be easily interpreted by senior management.
