About This Event

This webinar is 90 minutes.

This webinar is complimentary to non-North American audiences in the CAS.

Where do actuaries get in trouble as regards the code of conduct? Each year the American Academy of Actuaries publishes a report from the Actuarial Board For Counselling and Discipline on its requests for guidance and official inquiries. We’ll review the 2021 and 2022 reports. We will then discuss a few case studies and discuss the relevant precepts. Behaving “professionally” is not always a black-and-white exercise – we operate in many grey areas, so it’s good to discuss in a group how these precepts apply in realistic situations. Actuarial codes of conduct are similar across various actuarial societies.

Key Messages

  • The codes of conduct should be reviewed regularly to remind ourselves how to behave.
  • The codes of conduct may be presented different by different actuarial societies, but the underlying concepts are the same.
  • Behaving “professionally” is not always a black-and-white exercise – we operate in many grey areas, so it’s good to discuss how these precepts apply in realistic situations.

Learning Objectives

  • Participants should be able to list the major components in the profession's code of conduct.
  • Participants should be able to identify the most frequently violated codes of conduct.
  • Participants should be able to discuss how the codes on conduct apply in different situations.
