Description: In July 1987, the Society of Actuaries [SOA] Committee on Life Insurance Company Valuation Principles released an exposure draft in which a distinction was made between valuation principles and standards of practice. Rather than including specific standards of practice in the valuation principles themselves, the Committee developed valuation principles to encompass current and future standards of practice. Panelists discuss the work of the valuation actuary in the context of these developments. From the 1987 Record of Society of Actuaries, Vol. 13, No. 4B.
