ABOUT THIS WEBINAR

In our first professionalism webinar of 2018, attendees gained an in-depth look at the U.S. Qualification Standards. During this webinar, members of the Academy’s Committee on Qualifications (COQ) explored key topics drawn from questions posed by practicing actuaries, such as:

What qualifies as a statement of actuarial opinion?
What are the experience requirements under the general and specific qualification standards?
What is the “look in the mirror test”?
What qualifications are needed to enter new practice areas?
What constitutes “organized” continuing education?

Speakers answered these questions and more. They also discussed tools the Academy provides to document compliance with the USQS.
