Course Overview

This professional course provides a comprehensive framework for managing regulatory compliance within insurance companies, focusing on the regulatory obligations, governance structures, controls, and monitoring processes required to support compliant and sustainable insurance operations. It enables participants to understand how regulatory requirements influence underwriting, product development, pricing, claims, distribution, investments, customer protection, and corporate governance. The course examines the role of regulatory compliance within the broader insurance governance and risk management framework. Participants will explore regulatory obligations, compliance risk identification, regulatory change management, internal controls, compliance monitoring, reporting, documentation, and escalation mechanisms, with emphasis on establishing a proactive rather than purely reactive compliance approach. Particular attention is given to customer protection, fair treatment, insurance conduct, product governance, disclosure, complaints management, intermediary oversight, data protection, financial crime prevention, and regulatory reporting. The programme also addresses the interaction between compliance, risk management, internal audit, legal, actuarial, underwriting, claims, investment, and business functions. Through practical exercises, participants will learn how to assess regulatory compliance risks, develop compliance controls, conduct compliance reviews, identify deficiencies, manage regulatory changes, and establish effective remediation plans. The course concludes with an integrated workshop for developing a practical insurance regulatory compliance framework aligned with organizational objectives and regulatory expectations.
