Ming is the chief actuary at ABC Insurance and a CPCU. Ming has developed a new
method for calculating incurred but not reported losses (IBNR). He has tested the

following best describes Ming's obligations under Canon 5 of the Code of Professional
Ethics regarding raising the professional standards of the insurance profession?
