What the Government Actuary's Department does

Actuaries have analytical skills that help decision-makers take account of risk and uncertainty.

At the Government Actuary’s Department (GAD) our mission is to support effective decision-making and robust reporting within government as the first choice provider of actuarial and specialist analysis, advice and assurance.

GAD is a non-ministerial department.
