IFoA mutual recognition for actuaries moving to Ireland
Actuaries relocating to Ireland from certain countries can transfer their actuarial exams and qualifications through the mutual recognition schemes that exist between the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) and certain actuarial associations across the globe. The IFoA in the UK is the professional qualifications body for Ireland.
