IASC Foundation IFRS Conference - Tokyoでのスピーカーを依頼される

ケープタウンから帰国した３月１５日の日付で、IASB（国際会計基準審議会）ChairmanのSir David Tweedie卿から書状が届き、７月２８-２９日に東京で開催される IASC Foundation IFRS Conferenceにおいて、保険IFRSのついて、アクチュアリーの視点でスピーカーになってもらいたいとの依頼をうけた。大変名誉なことでもあり、浅学ながらこれから十分勉強する覚悟でお引き受けした。保険会計の国際基準の動向は、この業界にいる人であれば誰でもが知っていることであるが１０年以上も検討を重ねて、一度PhaseIで暫定基準が発表され、積み残しはPhase2の検討にゆだねられていた。それに国際アクチュアリー会(IAA)も保険会計部会を中心に技術的アドバイスを行って連携ししてきて何年にもなるのだが、いよいよその公開草案(ED; Exposure Draft)が今年の６月中には出ることになりそうであり、このタイミングでスピーカーになるのは、大変な覚悟をもって直前の膨大な資料を解読しなくてはならない。関係各位の協力を得て、できるだけ正確で内容のあるものができればと思っている。IASBのホームページからのリンクは、次のとおりとなっている。

Biennial General Meeting (Speech by Hideyuki Yoshida)
Welcome ladies and gentlemen. My name is Hideyuki Yoshida and I am honoured to be here to Chair the Biennial General Meeting of the IACA Section, in conjunction with the 29th ICA2010. First of all, I would like to give many thanks to the organizing committee for doing a wonderful job in coordinating this event. Also, I would like to thank those of you who have traveled a long distance to be here today. I hope you will all enjoy your stay here in Cape Town throughout the conference.
A lot has happened within these past two years since our last General Meeting that was held in Boston, including the progress that has been made by each functional subcommittee to expand IACA and to accomplish various action plans. This progress was possible because of the hard work and efforts put forth by the main IACA committee, the four subcommittees and senior advisors, as well, all of those who have contributed in any sort of way by either lending support or speaking in seminars and conferences, but above all, I believe the most important factor is due to the continued involvement and active participation of all of you, thank you.
And now, I would like to give the floor to Morten to begin with the Approval of Prior Minutes.
Thank you, Morten. So here is a summary of main activities that have happened in the past two years.
Next, Morten, could you explain the Secretary Treasurer’s Report.

Thank you, Morten. Next, Nicholas (Mike), could you introduce the New Committee Members

Thank you Nicholas (Mike), I would also like to thank the retiring committee members once more for their hard work and effort.
The proposed new officers are as follows
And now, ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming the incoming Chair of IACA, Ken Buffin, to say a few words.
Thank you Ken, this concludes today’s general meeting. Thank you everyone for your participation.
Just another quick announcement, would the new IACA committee members please head on over to room “XYZ” for our first committee meeting, Thank you.

Good afternoon all, I hope everyone is enjoying the conference so far.

Now I would take a moment to announce the recipient of the Max Lander award.

This time around, the award goes to Klaus Heubeck from Germany. Unfortunately, due to logistics reasons, Mr. Heubeck is unable to join us in this conference. But nonetheless, we will be delivering this Ferrari to his home in Germany in recognition of his achievements.

私は、コンサルティング・セクションIACA Track全体をIACA Chairmanとして、プログラム編成統括した。
私自身の発表は、"Peer Review"パネル。　また、モラル・ハザードの司会を担当した。
これだけの、会議とスピーチとプレゼン資料の準備をしてCape Townに臨んだ。私は、無事に日本人として始めてのIACAの会長の任期を満了し、開放感と充実感で喜びを感じている。今後も、IACAのPast Chairmanとして引き続き２年間は委員会に関与する。また、私が創設したアジア・パシフィック地域のコンサルティング協会APACAについては、当面、私がChairmanを継続し、アジア地域のコンサルティング・アクチュアリー業界の発展に尽くしていきたい。
