Professionalism Webinar: Application of Precept 13—What Every Actuary Needs to Know

You diligently perform your work as an actuary and you expect your fellow actuaries to do the same.  This, unfortunately, is not always the case.  What must you 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.  The application of Precept 13 sometimes can be challenging, however, because it is a self-regulating principle that requires members of the U.S. actuarial profession and other actuaries working in the United States to apply it when they become aware that another actuary has violated the Code. 
 
The Council on Professionalism recognizes the challenges presented by Precept 13 and is about to release a discussion paper prepared by the Academy’s Committee on Professional Responsibility to assist actuaries in their consideration of how to apply Precept 13 properly.
 
Don’t miss the Sept. 13 webinar during which members of the Committee on Professional Responsibility will talk about issues addressed in the discussion paper and what every actuary needs to know about appropriately applying Precept 13. Register now!
 
This webinar is being presented by the Academy’s Council on Professionalism and co-sponsored by the ASPPA, CAS, CCA, and SOA.
