ASPPA and ACOPA Comment Letter to Actuarial Standards Board on Proposed Introductory Actuarial Standard of Practice (PDF)
American Society of Pension Professionals & Actuaries [ASPPA]; ASPPA College of Pension Actuaries [ACOPA]
[Opinion] June 4, 2012
"While the addition of the 'Terms of Construction' section may add clarity to the meaning of future ASOPs, the addition of the 'Terms of Construction' potentially changes the meaning of all existing ASOPs without providing actuaries an opportunity to comment on those changes. Because these terms were not explicitly defined previously in the ASOPs, an actuary during ASOP comment periods and then while applying the ASOPs would have read these terms using a common sense meaning instead of the meaning the Introductory ASOP currently assigns to them."
