Guidance for actuaries
In addition to considering cases involving possible violations of the Code of Professional Conduct, the ABCD provides guidance to actuaries who ask for help in interpreting the Code and/or actuarial standards of practice (ASOPs).
In some cases, the requests are informal. Generally, an individual ABCD member answers an informal inquiry. These responses represent the individual ABCD member's considered opinion, not necessarily the views of the ABCD as a whole.
In other cases, more formal responses are requested. The ABCD as a whole considers such matters, and, if appropriate, provides written formal guidance.
The ABCD also responds to requests for guidance from actuarial students and to requests for information from others, such as users of actuarial services.
