CCA Perspective on Papers and Public Statements
The Conference of Consulting Actuaries (CCA) considers it to be prudent to have a policy in place that governs the issuance of papers and public statements on behalf of the CCA as well as papers and public statements that could be construed as being made on behalf of the CCA.
- Papers and public statements issued by the CCA
- Papers and public statements issued by a CCA Community with appropriate disclaimer
- Papers and public statements issued by individual CCA members that are published by the CCA with appropriate disclaimer
For purposes of this document, a “paper or public statement” means a communication that contains statements or positions involving actuarial concepts or other concepts that relate to the expertise of consulting actuaries and are of interest to the general public or other interested parties. Interested parties include, for example, regulators, legislators, government bodies, financial institutions and the media.
