The Actuarial Board for Counseling and Discipline strengthens the adherence by members of the five U.S.-based actuarial organizations to the recognized standards of ethical and professional conduct.

Primary Functions

 

  • Respond to requests from members of the five participating U.S.-based organizations for guidance regarding professionalism.
  • Consider complaints about possible violations of the Code of Professional Conduct (“Code”).
  • Investigate apparent violations of the Code and conduct fact-finding hearings, when appropriate.
  • Counsel actuaries when appropriate.
  • Recommend discipline, when appropriate, to membership organizations. (Membership organizations determine whether to impose discipline, using their own procedures.)
  • Conduct educational outreach efforts, which include making oral presentations and writing magazine articles.
