As the only Actuary with FSAI degree (qualitfication tests for actuarists), Panji – how he is known among his colleague, admits that the responsibilities he carries ain't an easy load. His job includes maintaining and increasing data quality, calculating technical reserves, as well as compiling and signing yearly Actuary Reports. "An actuarist's job is pivotal in a company. In regarding to data quality, I have to ensure that it is good and keeps getting better in order for the governing body to take beneficial desicions for the company. And it comes twice as important when it comes to calculating technical reserves because the stockpile I calculated will impact the company's current profit and it's capability to pay claim obligations in the future,” Panji explained. In carrying out his job as an actuarist, Panji admits that a lot of hurdles were on his way. Firstly, he had to maintain professionality and actuary professional ethics.

These experiences gave valuable lessons for my friends and I. Furthermore, I also feel the solidarity and togetherness across cohorts, both in my major and one faculty,” Panji closes with a smile.
