The Actuarial Society of South Africa (ASSA) is the governing body for the actuarial profession in South Africa. Since 2010, Fellowship has been obtained by passing a set of prescribed examinations of the Actuarial Society of South Africa. Prior to this, Fellowship was traditionally obtained through exams written through other recognised actuarial organisations, mostly the Institute of Actuaries in London or the Faculty of Actuaries in Edinburgh. Following qualification, Fellow members may add ''FASSA'' (Fellow of the Actuarial Society of South Africa) after their names and Associate members may add ''AMASSA'' (Associate Member of the Actuarial Society of South Africa). The FASSA qualification has mutual recognition with the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries in the United Kingdom, the Actuaries Institute in Australia and the Society of Actuaries in Ireland. == History == The history of the Actuarial Society of South Africa began with the Actuaries' Club, which was formally established on 14 June 1937. The Actuaries' Club served the purposes of bringing the actuaries in the country together and operated in two sections, one in Johannesburg and one in Cape Town. While the Actuaries’ Club did some useful work in connection with draft legislation and the protection of the status and interests of actuaries, it was more suited for social purposes. Consequently, the Club was disbanded and the Actuarial Society of South Africa was established. Its inaugural meeting was held in Johannesburg on 22 December 1948. At the time, there were 42 people with actuarial qualifications in the country. This event was celebrated at the Actuarial Society’s Jubilee Convention in 1998, which was preceded by the first meeting on African soil of the International Actuarial Association (IAA).
