Disciplinary Board

The Disciplinary Board oversees the monitoring of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries' (IFoA's) Disciplinary and Capacity for Membership Schemes and provides reports to the Regulation Board and Council

The Disciplinary Board makes regulations and provides guidelines on procedures under the Disciplinary and Capacity for Membership Schemes. It also oversees the disciplinary process and receives reports of the Determinations from Adjudication Panels, Interim Order Panels, Tribunals and Appeals Tribunals, including reports from Independent Examiners.

The Board has identified three key objectives:

Ensure that the scheme remains fit for purpose in the international environment
Work closely with the Regulation Board to assist with delivery of the regulatory objectives where they can be positively influenced by the disciplinary process
Complete and implement our review of communication in relation to the operation of the disciplinary process, to ensure clarity.

Recent projects have included providing guidance on the definition of misconduct and training to ensure those involved in the operation of the Scheme have the skills necessary to undertake their role.

The composition of the Disciplinary Board is governed by the Disciplinary and Capacity for Membership Schemes and its members are appointed by the Disciplinary Appointments Committee

The Board is comprised of six Fellows and three lay members, including the Chair. Board members hold office for up to three years, renewable at the discretion of the Disciplinary Appointments Committee, and are supported by the Executive Team. The current members of the Board are:

Keith Oliver (Chair)
Athene Heynes
Simon Lofthouse QC
Simon Martin FIA
George Russell FIA
Gordon Sharp FFA
Jim Webber FIA
