ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
“Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.”—Eleanor Roosevelt

Our expert panelists guided attendees through scenarios inspired by mistakes that have landed actuaries on the wrong side of the Code of Professional Conduct.

Our presenters discussed the ethical issues these scenarios raise and how to avoid making the wrong choices when facing situations involving the ethical principles found in the Code, including:

Professional integrity;
Competence and control of work product;
Standards of practice and communication; and
Counseling and discipline.

CONTINUING EDUCATION AND JBEA CPE CREDIT.
The American Academy of Actuaries believes in good faith that attendance at this live professionalism webinar constituted an organized activity as defined under the current Qualification Standards for Actuaries Issuing Statements of Actuarial Opinion in the United States, and that attendees may have earned up to 1.8 CE credits for attending this live webinar.

We also believe in good faith that Enrolled Actuaries may have earned 1.8 continuing professional education (CPE) core ethics credits under the Joint Board for the Enrollment of Actuaries (JBEA) rules for attending this live webinar. However, the JBEA ultimately determines what constitutes core, non-core, ethics, or non-ethics continuing education and the number of CPE credit hours allocated to same for enrolled actuaries.
