Preserve our trust and contribute to the common good

Other Information:

As the ultimate end-user of actuarial services, the public has an underlying interest in actuaries’ ability to provide relevant solutions for financial, business and societal problems involving risk. Today’s world will encourage actuaries to take a broad view of the needs of the public. It is clear that the public expects actuaries to personify integrity, competence, objectivity and the highest levels of professionalism. The Critical Review of the U.S. Actuarial Profession (CRUSAP) report notes that, “Our research into current attitudes indicates that the majority view today among actuaries and users of actuarial services is that the public at all levels will expect the very highest level of professionalism from actuaries, if actuaries want to have respect and trust accorded to them and to the work they do.”
