Continuing Education Credit

Continuing Professional Development

The SOA believes that sessions at this symposium may be suitable for filling continuing professional development (CPD) requirements. Below is the maximum number of credits you could receive, based upon your session attendance, excluding section breakfasts.

Below is the maximum number of credits you could receive, based upon your individual sessions:

• 15.00 credits may be applied toward the "Qualification Standards for Actuaries Issuing Statements of Actuarial Opinion" and the "SOA Continuing Professional Development Requirement."
• 12.50 credits may be applied toward "The Canadian Institute of Actuaries Qualification Standard—Continuing Professional Development."

Ultimately, it is the member's responsibility to make a reasonable, good-faith determination as to whether a continuing education event meets the CPD Requirement.

Visit the SOA website for more information on fulfilling your CPD requirements.

Enrolled Actuary
Sessions designated "core" or "noncore" near the session titles are recommended to help satisfy continuing education credits for enrolled actuaries. Instructions for obtaining credit will be provided at the meeting. While the SOA recommends these topics to help satisfy core and noncore continuing education credit for enrolled actuaries, the final decision as to meeting those requirements rests with the Joint Board for the Enrollment of Actuaries.

CFA Institute has approved this program, offered by the Society of Actuaries, for 12 CE credit hours. If you are a CFA Institute member, CE credit for your participation in this program will be automatically recorded in your CE Diary.

U.S. Qualification Standards

The Qualification Standards for Actuaries Issuing Statements of Actuarial Opinion in the United States took effect Jan. 1, 2008 and were developed by the American Academy of Actuaries' Committee on Qualifications, on behalf of the five U.S, actuarial organizations.

The SOA believes that this seminar may be suitable for filling this requirement as continuing education under the U.S. Qualification Standards. Ultimately, it is an actuary's responsibility to make a reasonable, good-faith determination of what CE opportunities will enhance his or her ability to practice in a desired field.
