Profession oversight
The CIA and its members have a fundamental duty to act in the public interest for the financial security of all Canadians.
The Institute does so by bringing together the education, guidance, rules and awareness that the profession needs to be accountable, trustworthy and reliable.

Actuarial Profession Oversight Board
The CIA is supported by the Actuarial Profession Oversight Board (APOB), an independent body that ensures the CIA’s professionalism and standard-setting activities and related processes are appropriate and responsive to the public interest. It oversees and provides input to the activities of the CIA’s other profession oversight bodies.
