ASOP 1 | §2.9 | PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT

Actuaries bring to their assignments not only highly specialized training, but also the broader knowledge and understanding that come from experience. For example, the ASOPs frequently call upon actuaries to apply both training and experience to their professional assignments, recognizing that reasonable differences may arise when actuaries project the effect of uncertain events.

ASOP 1 | Commentary Section | COMMENT ON SECTION 2.9

Comment	Response
A commentator felt that the discussion should focus on “the act of reasoning or reaching conclusions based on supported evidence, logical argument and actuarial judgment,” which the commentator believes would better parallel the usage in other ASOPs. Another commentator suggested avoiding the use of the stem “reason” or “reasonable” in the discussion.	The reviewers do not agree. As mentioned above, the reviewers believe that the discussion of reasonable should focus on producing a reasonable result, and the discussion was modified to accomplish this by adding to the discussion “to produce a ‘reasonable’ result when rendering actuarial services.”
