How Do Actuarial Standards Apply Across Borders?

March 27, 2009
12:00 – 1:30 p.m. (EDT)
REMINDER: Registration closes March 26, 5 p.m.!

Sponsored by the Academy’s Council on Professionalism and co-sponsored by ASPPA, CAS, CCA and SOA, this timely and important educational webcast will discuss how you as an actuary practice under the laws and professional standards applicable to your employer’s activities in the U.S., while also in compliance with comparable requirements in the other countries in which they operate.

Leading the discussion will be Curtis Huntington, chairperson of the ABCD, and author of “I’m an International Actuary? [1]” featured in the March/April 2009 issue of Contingencies Magazine, as well as other expert papers on the topic. Join us as we explore these and other important issues:

• Do you practice internationally? (You might be surprised.)
• How do ASOPs apply to an international practice?
• Is the Code of Professional Conduct applicable to my assignment?
• How do I reconcile differing international obligations?

Webcast participants may submit questions during the webcast and the panelists will respond to as many of these questions as possible during the time allotted.
