Upcoming Events
Don’t miss next week’s Professionalism webinar: Precept 13—How Do I Comply in a Self-Regulating Profession? Presenters at this Sept. 13 webinar will discuss how you should consider applying Precept 13 when you become aware that another actuary may have violated the Code of Professional Conduct. Your understanding of Precept 13 is vital to ensuring that you are fulfilling the profession’s responsibilities to the public and your own responsibilities to your clients, your employer—and to the profession.
