ABOUT THIS WEBINAR

To perform their professional duties effectively, actuaries must enjoy the trust and confidence of the public. This trust—and the standing and reputation of the actuarial profession—depends on the judgment and conduct of each individual actuary, and the rigor with which actuaries bring honesty, integrity, and competence to their work—especially when confronted with ethical issues that are difficult to resolve.

The 2025 “Tales from the Dark Side” webinar brings real-world professionalism challenges to light through case studies from the Actuarial Board for Counseling and Discipline (ABCD). With engaging stories and lessons drawn from issues that have arisen before the ABCD in requests for guidance and inquiries, this webinar will offer practical insight into navigating complex ethical dilemmas while staying grounded in the Code of Professional Conduct.
