The IFoA is seeking to appoint proactive members with a keen interest in professional discipline and standards to join the disciplinary pool as an actuary panel member.
Background
The main purpose of the Disciplinary Scheme is to protect the public by maintaining the standards of IFoA members.
The public – clients, users, employers and all those affected by actuarial decisions – must be confident that IFoA members will observe professional ethical codes and regulatory standards which justify that trust. Should things go wrong, we have developed disciplinary procedures to enforce our members' professional obligations.
Disciplinary panels consider and determine professional conduct issues relating to a member (current and former as applicable) of the IFoA. The majority of IFoA hearings relate to the determination of professional misconduct charges, but the remit of the role also extends to hearings under the capacity for membership and readmission processes.
A new version of the scheme came into force in 2023. Details of the schemes and a flowchart illustrating the disciplinary process can be found on our formal rules, regulations and guidance.

Time commitment
Actuary panel members will be asked to serve on a case-by-case basis and the time commitments anticipated can be discussed before any appointment is made. It is understood that work commitments may prevent some individuals from undertaking a particular assignment. When appropriate, the assistance of another actuary from the disciplinary pool with specific expertise may be called upon.
