Insurer insolvencies and FCA guidance on due diligence

This session will be of interest to any CII member but of particular relevance to insurance brokers

This session will consider the increased risk of insurer insolvencies and the impact for brokers.

In particular we will focus on the FCA’s mandatory guidelines for brokers recommending unrated insurers and a look at the recommended due diligence.

Learning Objectives:

Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the risks of recommending unrated insurers to clients and the steps the FCA require brokers to undertake before doing so.

A light buffet lunch and refreshments will be available from 12.15 with the seminar starting at 1p.m. for an hour.
