SA3 core reading for the current year is the key study reference for this exam and is available from the IFoA e-shop.
Students may also work with the study guide and course materials for this exam from the Actuarial Education Company.
Students may find it useful to consult some of the suggested reading listed within the 'Solving Problems' section of the SA3 Core Reading to obtain a wider appreciation or different viewpoint when studying a particular topic.
However, students are not expected to have read all of the items on the list or to have gained detailed knowledge of any particular topic additional to that contained in the core reading. Equally, students may use other sources of information to enhance their wider understanding, such as:
The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries is responsible for the setting of ethical actuarial standards. The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) is responsible for the setting of technical actuarial standards.
