Is Excel snippet of chain ladder allowed

Hi,

I find it really useful and simpler to calculate outstanding reserves in excel, then copy and paste into word. Then i always explain how the figures from excel have come about e.g. development factor =(x1+x2)/(y1+y2).
Is this allowed in the exam or would i lose marks for using excel and then explaining the maths behind it?

Thanks in advance.

I think as far as you copy paste the table and not Insert data or paste a screenshot, it is acceptable. I have gotten marks for the same in a previous attempt.

 

oh i see - so snippets wouldn't be acceptable then?

 

i think the policy now allows it. page 7 of the exam handbook says "Screen shots or image capture will be accepted for marking but you will need to make sure the full working outs are visible to be marked."

 

thanks MSM really appreciate your help on this
