Forvis Mazars names actuarial partner to boost APAC insurance practice

The Singapore hire expands insurance advisory amidst IFRS 17 and M&A-driven demand.

Forvis Mazars has appointed Anthony Atkins as partner in Singapore to strengthen its actuarial and insurance consulting capabilities across Asia Pacific, according to a company statement.

Atkins joins the firm’s financial services consulting team in Singapore and will focus on actuarial advisory work for insurers in the region, bringing more than 20 years of experience in insurance and actuarial services.

The appointment is part of Forvis Mazars’ effort to expand its insurance practice in Singapore, which sits within its broader financial services platform across Asia Pacific.

The firm said its regional financial services consulting team is led by APAC financial services leader Rudi Lang, whilst its Singapore practice includes audit and assurance partner Tan Yan Song.

Forvis Mazars managing partner for Singapore, Rick Chan, said Atkins’ appointment supports the firm’s investment in insurance and actuarial capabilities amid growing demand for actuarial services in the region.

The firm cited ongoing implementation of IFRS 17 accounting standards, merger and acquisition activity, and regulatory developments as factors shaping demand for actuarial expertise across Asia Pacific.

Atkins previously held senior actuarial roles in Big Four firms and regional insurance consulting, and has advised on more than 20 transaction-related actuarial workstreams, according to the statement.

He said he will focus on supporting insurers in areas including actuarial advisory, risk frameworks and regional expansion challenges.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
