The Treasury has announced that Sir Derek Morris is seeking views from all interested parties on his review of the actuarial profession.
The review was triggered by the recent Penrose report into the collapse of insurer Equitable Life.
The consultation paper issued today says Sir Derek intends to focus on: the role of the appointed actuary;
standard setting and monitoring audit; peer review and scrutiny of disciplinary procedures; plus the role of the Government Actuary's Department.
Sir Derek Morris said: "I hope that all interested parties will feed in their views on all aspects of the Review, and I look forward to discussing the issues with members of the actuarial profession, their customers and other interested parties."
The closing date for responses to the consultation is 10 September 2004.
Sir Derek will publish an interim assessment in the autumn and will submit the final report, with recommendations for change, to the Government in Spring 2005.
