The Discipline Committee Panel of the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS), acting in accordance with the CAS Bylaws and the CAS Rules of Procedure for Disciplinary Actions Involving Candidates, and with consideration of the findings and recommendation from the CAS Investigation Panel, voted unanimously to bar Ms. Amy Tau from taking future CAS examinations for materially violating Rules 1, 2, and 7 of the Code of Professional Ethics for Candidates (the “Candidate Code” or “Code”).

The Panel found that Ms. Tau materially violated Rules 1 and 2 by misrepresenting that she sat for a CAS examination, knowingly submitted false time entries to her then employer to make it appear as if she were sitting for a CAS examination when she was not, and altering a prior CAS grade report that she then provided to her employer. Additionally, Ms. Tau failed to respond to the investigation inquiries and did not respond or appear for the Discipline Committee Panel hearing, materially violating Rule 7 of the Candidate Code.

Ms. Tau may be allowed to take future CAS examinations only upon her request to, and approval by, the CAS Discipline Committee

The appeal period has expired without appeal, and the Panel’s decision is final.
