  2. The Actuary shall review and approve the Company’s Technical Provisions, both gross and net of reinsurance. 
     
  3. The Actuary shall assess the quality of the data which is used for the calculation of the Technical Provisions to ensure it is appropriate for the purpose of calculating the Technical Provisions.

  6. An External Auditor shall review the actuarial reports that present immediate or future risks facing the Company, and provide their opinion on the risks mentioned in the actuarial report to the Authority.
