Insurance

Insurance is probably the most popular financial product available. There is a huge variety of life and general insurance products, ranging from motor and home insurance to high-risk projects such as oil tankers and aircraft.

There are many areas of specialization in this sector, but a commonality is that it is constantly developing and the growth and complexity of many types of insurance products present countless regulatory challenges.

Insurance companies also have to comply with increased amounts of regulation in areas such as corporate governance, senior management responsibilities, internal procedures and systems and controls. The pressure on firms and senior management teams to manage reputational risk has never been greater.
