Notice of Disciplinary Determination

On January 20, 2025, a Discipline Committee was convened to consider a matter referred by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries (“CIA”). The matter related to the actions of Leslie John Lohmann.

The Discipline Committee carefully reviewed the CIA’s findings, including the supporting evidence, and determined that Mr. Lohmann’s conduct warrants a three-year suspension from the Society of Actuaries for material violations of Precepts 1 and 14 under the Code of Professional Conduct (the "Code"). The Committee concluded that Mr. Lohmann’s conduct during the CIA’s disciplinary process was unprofessional and displayed a lack of respect for both the actuarial discipline process and those administering it. Furthermore, this same unprofessional behavior was repeated during the SOA’s discipline process.

The Discipline Committee found Mr. Lohmann’s behavior to be a breach of the fundamental expectations of trust and integrity required of SOA members. Furthermore, his failure to respond promptly and truthfully, along with a lack of full cooperation with the CIA's investigation and SOA’s discipline process, contributed to this decision. As a result, the Committee has imposed a three-year suspension, which may be reinstated upon successful completion of the Associateship Professionalism Course (APC) after the suspension period. If available, attendance at a Virtual APC will be accepted.

The discipline rendered by the Discipline Committee was affirmed by an Appellate Tribunal on September 8, 2025.

PRECEPT 1. An Actuary shall act honestly, with integrity and competence, and in a manner to fulfill the profession’s responsibility to the public and to uphold the reputation of the actuarial profession.
