Continuing Education Credit

The Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) designates this educational activity for a maximum of up to 8.4 CE Credits. Participants should claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. CAS members earn 1 CE Credit per 50 minutes of educational session time not to include breaks and/or lunch.

Attendance at the Seminar also counts toward CPD for members of the UK actuarial profession.

The CAS Code of Professional Conduct states that, “an actuary shall perform professional services when the actuary is qualified to do so and meets applicable qualification standards.” The American Academy of Actuaries (AAA) establishes qualification standards for public statements of actuarial opinion in the United States of America. Those standards require that actuaries update and maintain knowledge of applicable principles of actuarial science and actuarial standards of practice and their satisfaction through continuing education. The AAA publication Qualification Standards for Prescribed Statements of Actuarial Opinion provides a complete list of guidelines concerning continuing education. Actuaries attending a CAS seminar to satisfy AAA requirements should review all guidelines in that publication.
