Cancellation Policy and Process

SOA incurs significant expenses prior to an event. To minimize losses, SOA maintains the following refund and cancellation policy:

• You may cancel your registration prior to 30 days of the event start date to receive a full refund, less a $100 administrative fee.
• There will be no refunds provided within 30 days of the event start date.
• An alternate attendee within the same organization may be substituted at any time prior to the conference start with no penalty. However, if the original attendee is a member and the substitute attendee is not, the difference in rate, between member/non-member, must be paid in full at time of substitution.
• To cancel an order, please contact customerservice@soa.org.
• The SOA reserves the right to cancel any seminar if conditions warrant. In the event of such cancellation, registration fees will be refunded in full. We are not responsible for any discounted airfares or hotel penalties that an attendee may incur due to cancellation.
• An attendee may transfer his/her registration to another individual without a processing fee; however, the transfer must occur within the same meeting or seminar.

Notes

• The SOA is considered a not-for-profit corporation in Canada and therefore needs to collect applicable taxes on virtual seminars. Based upon your primary residency or company address, the appropriate tax will automatically be calculated for you (5% GST, PEI 14%, NB, NL, ON 13%, NS 15% GST/HST) during the online registration process.
• If you do not receive instructions for accessing the virtual seminar by the day prior to the event, please contact the SOA Customer Service Center at +1-888-697-3900 or via email at customerservice@soa.orgwith the name of the program.

Continuing Professional Development Credit

The SOA Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Requirement was effective on Jan. 1, 2009, and members must report compliance annually as of each Dec. 31. Members must meet the Basic Requirement provisions of Section B or one of the Alternative Compliance provisions of Section C of the SOA CPD Requirement in order to be deemed compliant.

The sessions at this seminar meet the basic SOA requirements and may be suitable to meet the provisions of an Alternative Compliance standard (please consult the appropriate standard).

Below is the maximum number of credits you could receive, based upon your attendance.

• 12.60 credits may be applied toward the “Qualification Standards for Actuaries Issuing Statements of Actuarial Opinion” and the “SOA Continuing Professional Development Requirement.”
• 10.50 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 professional development event meets the CPD Requirement.

For further information on these requirements, visit SOA.org.

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 sessions at this meeting 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 continuing education opportunities will enhance his or her ability to practice in a desired field.
