ABOUT THE CHAMBER / MISSION
Mission, vision and values
The QCA acts in the public interest, drawing on the international practice of leading actuarial organisations.
MISSION
To develop and regulate the actuarial profession in the Republic of Kazakhstan — to set professional standards, a qualification and ethics system, and to ensure the trust of society, the state and the market in the work of the actuary.
VISION
To make Kazakhstan's actuarial profession mature, recognised and integrated into the international actuarial infrastructure — at the level of the practice of SOA, IFoA, CAS and IAA.

V-05
Equal access
Equal rights for all who meet the qualification requirements; participation is voluntary.

WHAT THE QCA IS NOT
- The QCA is not an employer and is not a participant in the labour market; it does not allocate professionals or interfere in employment relations;
- The QCA does not tie actuaries to particular organisations and does not commercialise access to participants;
- Access to professional projects is voluntary and proceeds through the Chamber's transparent system.
These boundaries are the guarantee of the profession's independence and objectivity.
