The Code of Professional Conduct provides the professionalism foundation for an actuary’s daily practice. But while actuaries understand the importance of the Code, workplace pressures can sometimes cause actuaries to lose sight of its underlying importance to their everyday work.

During this webinar, Immediate Past President Tom Wildsmith, Vice President of Professionalism Joeff Williams, and Council on Professionalism member Chad Wischmeyer, discussed practical applications and approaches to the Code. Using case studies, as well as themes described in the “Web of Professionalism” series published in Contingencies, they discussed the Precepts and how best to integrate them into your daily work. Attendees gained greater clarity on what each Precept means, as well as ways to keep the Code at the forefront of their practice.
