Tiivistelmä: | The article studies a case concerning a corporate scandal that includes both conflicts of interest, professional independence and the actuarial profession. The authors examine the case of an Australian company, James Hardie Industries Limited, where the company's consulting actuaries were advising two parties (whose interests were in conflict) at the same time. The case in hand shows how subtly the conflicts of interest and pressures on professional independence can arise, as well as the importance of professional issues, often shadowed by financial and strategic ones. |
