Webinar: Precept 13—How Do I Comply in a Self-Regulating Profession?
September 13, 2012
12:00-1:30 p.m. Eastern
Do you know what to do when you have knowledge of an apparent, unresolved, material violation of the Code of Professional Conduct (Code) by another actuary? The answer can be found in Precept 13 of the Code. Actuaries have a long record of effective self regulation. Your understanding of Precept 13 is vital to ensuring that you are fulfilling the profession’s responsibilities to the public, and your responsibilities to your clients, your employer—as well as to the actuarial profession.
The application of Precept 13 sometimes can be challenging because it requires members of the U.S. actuarial profession to apply it when they become aware that another actuary may have violated the Code.
The Academy’s Committee on Professional Responsibility has developed a discussion paper to help actuaries consider their Precept 13 responsibilities. During the webinar, committee members discussed many of the issues surrounding Precept 13—and why this precept is essential to a self-regulating profession.
This webinar was presented by the Academy’s Council on Professionalism and co-sponsored by the ASPPA, CAS, CCA, and SOA.
