He can analyse and predict with a long-term financial vision in order to help in taking future financial decisions based on long-term prediction .

    Also, there was an argument regarding choosing the Saudi insurance market and how the Saudi society dealt with it before the issue of the Control System of the Cooperative Insurance Companies and its executive list to choose between insurance and non- insurance .

    In the conference, a worksheet about micro- solidarity insurance for low-income Saudi people was presented as a way to achieve development in the GCC which is considered an important incentive to fund and protect the micro-enterprises and low-income classes, thus encourage banks to fund these projects.

    In another worksheet, the issue ( the actuary profession and the actuarial professional tests) was elaborated. Actuarial profession was defined and information about the application of Actuaries for this kind of knowledge, supported by statistics from known actuarial associations was presented. Also, examples were presented regarding the role of the actuary and the possibility of using the Saudi population data in calculating the instalments of life insurance in the Saudi companies, thus we could develop a technology tool based on this data to calculate life insurance instalments in those companies .

    After that, researchers prepared a life schedule based on the Saudi population statistics. They started with the proportion of deaths in each class of the population in the Kingdom. Then, there was a display of suggested actuarial model to determine life insurance instalments in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia .

    In another context, a worksheet was presented on the use of the professional mathematician. He is considered a calculation finisher in some insurance companies in the Egyptian market.

The risk of flooding is one of the main natural hazards that takes place in vast areas of the world, and several areas in Saudi Arabia at different periods of time which forced the researchers to study the risk of flooding because of its different and serious repercussions on the level of the individual, institution and the state and try to study modern alternatives of investment in solidarity companies( Islamic insurance ) .
