Professionalism Webinar: Improving Your Practice Through Peer Review
The visibility of the actuarial profession is increasing. Ongoing debates on pension and health care reform have focused more attention on actuaries and their work. The profession is faced with a rapidly changing economic environment, increasing regulatory complexities, and more inquiries about various aspects of actuaries’ work. The profession established professional standards of conduct, qualification and practice many years ago to enhance the quality of the professional services being provided by its members to their principals and publics. Peer review is one of the techniques that can be used to enhance actuaries’ collective and individual professionalism. It is one of a number of processes actuaries might use to improve the quality of their Actuarial Services and Actuarial Communications.
Join the Council on Professionalism on Dec. 12 to learn about peer review and the common practices actuaries can use in determining whether voluntary peer review of their Actuarial Services and Actuarial Communications may be beneficial. You’ll also learn:
-
Description and examples of peer review
-
When to use it
-
How to identify suitable peer reviewers
-
The importance of peer review
-
The benefits of peer review to you

Considerations in establishing a peer review program
