Conference Breaking NewsDale H. Yamamoto New CCA President-Elect

In a special meeting of the CCA Board of Directors on Friday, July 22, 2011, CCA’s Vice President of Practice Areas, Dale Yamamoto was nominated and approved as CCA President-Elect, effective August 5, 2011, following the close of the August Executive Committee meeting.

Dale fills the unexpired term of Donald Fuerst, who heads to Washington D.C. as the new senior pension fellow for the American Academy of Actuaries. Don will represent the U.S. actuarial profession on retirement security issues, a position that required him to voluntarily recuse himself from concurrent service on the CCA Board.

“With complex public policy implications of retirement security and challenges facing both private sector and governmental pension plans, the profession will be well served by Don in his new role as the Senior Pension Fellow at the Academy,” commented CCA President Adam Reese. Adam also added, “Good luck Don! And I look forward to working closely with Dale in his new position as President-Elect.”

Dale is the founder and President of Red Quill Consulting, Inc. and has over 30 years of experience in providing employers with actuarial and strategic consulting to support their employee benefit programs. He has testified before Congress on the topic of healthcare and Medicare reform, and in 2010 he spearheaded efforts to address the actuarial implications of healthcare reform legislation in a three-part audiocast series jointly sponsored by the Conference of Consulting Actuaries and Society of Actuaries, and co-sponsored by the American Academy of Actuaries.

Dale has and continues to serve the CCA in many capacities. Currently, he is Chair of the Seminar Committee, and is a member of the Budget and Finance Committee and Healthcare Reform Steering Committee.

Congratulations Dale and Don.

Inside an ABCD DeliberationOctober 5, 201112:30 PM – 1:45 PM EDTRegister Now

You’ve probably seen “tombstones” that occasionally appear in an actuarial organization’s newsletter. These notices publish the name of an actuary who has been found by that organization’s Discipline Committee to have materially violated the Code of Professional Conduct, and usually also materially violated an Actuarial Standard of Practice. There may be a short description of the actuary’s actions that comprise the violation. The public discipline is a public reprimand, a suspension or an expulsion from the organization. There is another form of discipline, private reprimand. All discipline remains on the record of the subject actuary.

Although each applicable actuarial organization selects and administers its own discipline, if any, each relies heavily on the findings and recommendations of the ABCD. If the case is not dismissed earlier in the process, the ABCD holds a hearing and deliberates. If it finds material violations, it decides what discipline to recommend. Thereafter, the ABCD provides a findings and recommendation letter along with the hearing transcript to each applicable organization.

This session will emulate the deliberation process used by the ABCD after the Subject Actuary and the investigator have finished testifying and have left the hearing. In this session, the speakers will role-play as ABCD members and:

• Identify the facts of the mock case as they understand them• Record a time-line of the case• Determine whether specific Precepts or ASOPs have been violated• Discuss any mitigating or exacerbating facts or circumstances• Determine whether violations are material• Discuss what level of discipline, if any is appropriate, should be

recommended to the Subject Actuary’s membership organization(s)

The case presented is entirely fictitious, and is not based on any prior cases referred to the ABCD. The mock deliberations during this session will be greatly condensed from what actually occurs in a real case.

Rietz, FCA, EA, MAAA, FSA, MSPA recently retired from being a Director in the Detroit office of Deloitte Consulting LLP, and led the Total Rewards practice in Deloitte’s North Central region.
