Forvis Mazars, a global professional services network, has appointed Anthony Atkins as Partner for Consulting (Actuarial Services) in Singapore. With over 20 years of experience in insurance and actuarial fields, Atkins is set to bolster the firm’s presence in the Asia Pacific region. His appointment comes amidst rising demand for actuarial expertise, driven by the complexities of IFRS 17 and increased M&A activity.
Atkins will join the Financial Services Consulting team, complementing the existing insurance practice in Singapore, which includes Tan Yan Song, Partner in Audit and Assurance. The team operates under the leadership of Rudi Lang, APAC Financial Services Leader, offering a comprehensive suite of services including actuarial advisory, audit and assurance, and financial consulting.
Rick Chan, Managing Partner Singapore, expressed enthusiasm about Atkins’ addition, stating, “Tony’s appointment reflects our continued investment in deepening our insurance and actuarial capabilities across Asia Pacific.”
The insurance sector in Asia Pacific is experiencing significant transformation, with IFRS 17 now active in major markets like Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. Atkins’ extensive background, including leadership roles at a Big Four firm and as Asia Pacific Head of Actuarial Consulting at a global broking firm, positions him well to navigate these changes. His expertise in M&A, market entry, and actuarial due diligence will be invaluable as insurers adapt to new challenges.
Atkins remarked, “I am excited to join Forvis Mazars at such a key moment for the insurance industry across Asia Pacific. The firm’s commitment to supporting clients in financial services and its strong regional network provide an excellent base for trusted actuarial advisory.”
