Adjudication panel determination

Open-access content 5th December 2017

On 27 September 2017, the adjudication panel considered an allegation of misconduct that, while an IFoA student member, Mr Dominic Jevan Guy Morris (the respondent) was dismissed by his employer for gross misconduct.


On 27 September 2017, the adjudication panel considered an allegation of misconduct that, while an IFoA student member, Mr Dominic Jevan Guy Morris (the respondent) was dismissed by his employer for gross misconduct. 

On 3 August 2016, he entered excess time to his employer's time recording system for work on 4 August that had not been carried out and was not properly chargeable to clients. In addition, he took unauthorised absence from the workplace on 4 August 2016. It was alleged that the respondent's actions were in breach of the principle of integrity of the Actuaries' Code.

The panel determined a prima facie case of misconduct, imposing the following sanction:

  • A reprimand.

 

In reaching its decision, the panel had regard to the need for proportionality, while maintaining the reputation of the IFoA. 

The events involved deliberate dishonesty by the respondent, but he apologised and self-reported to the IFoA. Any loss caused by his actions was limited. The respondent co-operated fully with the investigation and said that it was an isolated error of judgement, made at a time when he was under considerable stress.
