Webinar Recording Available: Where Actuaries Go Wrong 

 

Audience: All

 

The recording of our July 31st webinar, Where Actuaries Go Wrong, is now available to view. 

The session examined where actuaries most often encounter difficulty with respect to the Code of Conduct, drawing on the AAA latest report from the Actuarial Board for Counseling and Discipline (ABCD) on requests for guidance and official inquiries. Several case studies were discussed alongside the relevant precepts, illustrating that professional conduct is rarely black-and-white — much of the work lies in the grey areas.
