This is the Academy

The American Academy of Actuaries is the voice of U.S. actuaries on public policy and professionalism issues. It represents the U.S. profession both domestically and internationally.

The Academy provides reliable, independent actuarial expertise on public policy issues to Congress, state legislatures, other policymakers, regulators, and the public.

The Academy also develops and maintains standards of qualification to practice as an actuary. In addition, the Actuarial Standards Board (ASB) and the Actuarial Board for Counseling and Discipline (ABCD) are entities established within and supported by the Academy. They operate independently in establishing standards, providing counseling, and/or recommending discipline.
