The inaugural Canadian Insurance Financial Forum (CIFF) met at Exhibition Place in Toronto on May 19 to discuss the important financial issues of the day. The forum featured seminars on a wide variety of financial topics, including new models for capital management; actuarial predictive modeling such as credit scoring; key tax issues (such as the impact of the HST and proposed changes to the GST); IFRS; and ways to manage financial and operational risks. The day concluded with a CFO panel that considered issues such as mergers and acquisitions potential and rate adequacy and other topics.
