Apdrošināšanas nozare kā valsts finanšu sistēmas sastāvdaļa, līdzīgi kā kredītiestāžu joma, satur reālu risku un nav pilnībā aizsargāta no iespējamām prettiesiskām darbībām ar noziedzīgi iegūtiem līdzekļiem. Galvenokārt noziedzīgi līdzekļi apdrošināšanas nozarē var tikt ģenerēti ar apzināti nepamatotiem apdrošināšanas atlīdzību pieteikumiem, kurus apdrošinātāji nav spējīgi identificēt vai pierādīt pieteicēju krāpniecisko rīcību. Krāpnieciskā rīcība pret apdrošinātāju var izpausties kā apdrošināšanas objekta apzināta bojāšana, lai saņemtu apdrošināšanas atlīdzību, vai kā pārspīlēta prasība naudas izteiksmē, vai arī kā apdrošināšanas gadījuma imitācija. Kaut arī dzīvības apdrošināšana pasaulē vairāk pakļauta noziedzīgi iegūtu līdzekļu legalizācijas riskam, Latvijas dzīvības apdrošināšanas nozarē šajā ziņā aktivitāte nav vērojama. Savukārt nedzīvības apdrošināšanas joma ir vairāk pakļauta krāpšanas riskam un daudz biežāk saskaras ar viltus pieteikumiem nekā dzīvības apdrošināšanā. Latvijā līdz šim problēma nav aktualizēta un netika risināta pietiekamā līmenī. The insurance industry as a part of national financial system the same as credit institutions contains a real risk and is not fully protected from possible illegal activities with the proceeds of crime. In the insurance sector, mainly criminal funds can be generated by deliberately unreasonable insurance claims that insurers are not able to identify or prove the applicant’s fraudulent conduct. Fraudulent action against the insurer may take the form of insurance object damaging for obtaining insurance reimbursement, as well as by exaggerated requirement in terms of money and imitation of insurance cases. While the life insurance in the world is more exposed to money laundering risks, there is no activity in this regard in Latvian life insurance sector. By contrast, non-life insurance sphere is more exposed to the risk of fraud and more often confronted with false claims than life insurance. In Latvia, the problem not yet actuated and adequately solved.

Compensation Payments

The insurance sector mainly consists of insurance companies, insurance agencies, brokers, and reinsurers. For many years, false damages, without being linked to money, have undoubtedly been the most attractive aspect of the insurance industry. However, for quite some time, the insurance sector is also used by money launders to launder crime revenues due to the increasing volume of money transactions day by day. In order to mitigate the risk of money laundering, the insurance sector in Turkey is implementing the compliance program of Turkish Law No: 5549 on “prevention of laundering proceeds of crime.” The main components of this compliance program are the identification of the customers and reporting of suspicious transactions. It is concluded that the risk of money laundering should also be considered during damages and compensation payments, especially in life and pension companies. Policy and contract cancellations should be periodically reviewed, and the reasons for cancellations should be documented well.

The modern financial system has continuously been traumatised by money laundering and terrorism financing. This is partly because it is a concept that revolves around the complex relationship between money and crime. The challenges posed by these menaces have become a phenomenon that the world has ceaselessly looked for means to address. Yet launderers and terrorists continue to perfect methods of perpetuating their illegal activities, while the havoc created by the menace of these crimes are enormous and remains unquantifiable in term of the actual estimate. Interestingly, Maqasid al Shari'ah has caught the attention of several Muslim scholars as a useful tool that can resolve several contemporary issues. Consequently, examining the relevance of Maqasid al Shari'ah which is the basis of Islamic Finance on money laundering and terrorist financing (AML/CFT) is desirable. The focus of this chapter, therefore, is to examine the relevance of Maqasid al Shari'ah in the fight against the menace of money laundering and terrorism financing

The New Deal

India has recently emerged as a major political and economic power in the world. The financial crisis that engulfed the world in 2008 needed developing countries like India to lead the rescue and recovery, instead of G7 westerns countries who dealt with such crisis in the past. Recently, discussions and negotiations are going amongst G20 countries regarding a new global financial architecture (G-20 Summit, 2008). The outcome will affect the relevant industries in India and hence it is a public interest issue for the actuarial profession in the country. Increased and more intrusive and costly regulations and red tapes are likely to be a part of the new deal (Economic Survey 2009-10). The objective of this paper is to study the perception of higher level authorities in Insurance sector regarding the role of regulator in minimizing the impact of global financial crisis. The primary data has been collected from 200 authorities in insurance industry. The data has been analyzed with statistical tools like MS-Excel. On the basis of the findings, various measures and policy recommendations for insurers have been suggested to minimize the impact of crisis.

Assets managed by the insurance industry amounted to 146 percent of the GDP at end-2018, compared to 72 percent for the EU average.

The Impact

The paper attempts to find the impact of technology on the purchase behavior of consumers for insurance products. With the use of technology and e-commerce the adoption of insurance products had undergone a transformation. With the entry of private players the insurance sector has become very competitive (Jampala & Rao, 2005). With increased competition the life insurance industry is adopting innovative marketing practices to tap a larger market; the companies therefore are developing their capabilities of access-based penetration, distribution and sale to customers. The advances in technology have changed the way insurance products were marketed in India. Apart from the traditional agency channel, the companies are also exploring alternative channels like brokers, rural channels, online marketing, and e-commerce, etc. The personal selling based channels are the new innovative methods offering an effective reach at a minimum cost. To analyze the consumer purchase behavior the study used two-way ANOVA to determine the effect of two nominal predictor variables on a continuous outcome variable. The results of the study will assist the life insurance companies in improving their operations and efficiency.
