Lack of COI Policy Acknowledgments: Volunteers Dropped
In accordance with the Academy’s policy, 72 volunteers have been removed from their Academy committee positions because they failed to comply with the Academy’s policy that its volunteers expressly acknowledge the longstanding Conflict of Interest (COI) policy applicable to all volunteers.
Committee member and interested party acknowledgments are a vital element in the Academy’s ability to maintain its standards in providing unbiased, reliable information for policymakers and others who rely on actuarial insight to inform their decisions regarding U.S. fiscal and societal challenges. The Academy requires members who serve in volunteer positions with the Academy to annually acknowledge its longstanding COI policy, and to comply with the continuing education (CE) requirements of the U.S. Qualification Standards. Individuals who serve as interested parties must formally acknowledge the Academy’s COI policy as well.
