Question
7. Does an actuary need to include an Acknowledgment of Qualification statement in every actuarial communication, including emails?
Section 5 of the U.S. Qualification Standards (USQS) states that every Statement of Actuarial Opinion should include an appropriate acknowledgement of the actuary’s qualifications. ASOP No. 41, Actuarial Communications, notes that actuarial communications are often an ongoing and iterative process. As such, it may not be necessary for an actuary to include his or her qualifications in every piece of communication. The Committee has stated that it would be appropriate in a long-term, ongoing relationship with a client or employer that the actuary acknowledge at least once a year that he or she has met the USQS.
