Joint effort for ethics

Open-access content 29th March 2016

On 25 February, the Chinese Actuarial Network in the UK and The Actuarial Network at Cass successfully organised a joint talk event for the first time. The event 'Business Ethics: Lessons from Corporate Scandals' was held at Cass Business School. It was seen as a great opportunity for the two sides to share resources and cross-network.

The joint collaboration also paved the way for future events, which will involve parties from the actuarial profession.

The thought-provoking presentation was delivered by Ashley Hamilton Claxton from Royal London Asset Management. By starting with real-life case studies, Ashley vividly demonstrated the importance of ethics and corporate conduct being at the core of good governance. She was able to draw on her wealth of experience in corporate governance analysis, environmental and social research throughout the talk, and handle a great number of interesting questions from the audience. The talk concluded with risks and warning signs of poor governance and the all-too important 'I do not give financial advice' slide.

Networking began after the presentation, with food and drink kindly sponsored by Mansion House. To all of us, the night offered a fantastic talk and a great chance to meet with old and new friends. To some of us who studied at Cass, the night perhaps meant a bit more, as it also meant moments spent reminiscing about those countless note-crunching nights in the library, or that rare enlightening moment while chatting with that professor in lecture room 2002.
