The Morris Review highlights key lessons for the actuarial profession, emphasizing the importance of accountability, clear standards, and the role of self-regulation in consumer protection. It identifies challenges in asset and liability management, critiques the current system's insularity, and calls for a more rigorous approach to maintaining professional competence. As societal expectations evolve, ongoing professional development and adherence to ethical standards become paramount. The Review seeks to redefine professional conduct, integrate diverse perspectives, and ensure high competence standards through effective consultation.
