Sessions’ goals are to build triangles; compute and select loss development factors; perform a variety of loss and loss adjustment expense reserving methods; compare the results of the various methods and their strengths and weaknesses; review additional information and take that into consideration in the methods and estimates; and make final reserve selections.
