Introduction. Given the constant challenges of today, the key to survival and the basis of stable development of insurance companies is the effective management of financial resources, the skillful use of which allows a stable competitive position in the insurance market and determines the vectors of their development. It is the financial resources of insurers that are one of the most important resources that are designed to support their activities. Since the insurance, financial and investment activities of insurers are closely linked, the use of their financial resources is aimed not only at making insurance payments, but also at investing. In fact, skillful management of financial resources is the basis for financial stability and competitiveness in the insurance market, which stimulates the introduction of modern methods and approaches in the field of management. Therefore, just controlling is almost the only possible tool for building optimized management systems in the activities of insurers. At all levels of government, it allows you to provide timely and relevant information in order to make optimal decisions. The study of the process of building an insurance controlling system within the operation of the insurance company in order to optimize the use of financial resources will determine the current controlling tools and the effectiveness of the controlling system on the example of the insurance company. The importance of financial resources in the financial and economic activities of insurance companies and the possibility of their optimization in the controlling system in today's conditions becomes especially relevant, which requires further research. Purpose. Initiate the process of building an insurance controlling system within the functioning of the insurance company, which will allow optimizing the use of its financial resources. Method (methodology). In the process of research such methods were used as logical, which allowed to analyze scientific works in the field of financial resources of the insurer; analytical, which was used to analyze and evaluate the costs of implementing a controlling system, as well as the effectiveness of its application; graphic, which made it possible to interpret the process of building an insurance controlling system within the functioning of the insurance company in a visual form. Results. The importance of financial resources in the activities of insurance companies is determined. The role of controlling for the purpose of optimized utilization of financial resources of insurers is revealed. The advantages and disadvantages of creating a controlling service within the activities of the insurance company are highlighted, which allowed us to see that the creation of such a system has more advantages than disadvantages. A system of topical controlling tools for insurers is recommended. A visual process of building an insurance controlling system within the operation of an insurance company is proposed. The characteristics of the construction of the controlling department on the example of PJSC IC "Euroins Ukraine" are given. The efficiency of introduction of the controlling system at PJSC IC "Euroins Ukraine" with the use of the indicator of net present value of cash flows is determined. As a result of calculations it is determined that the introduction of a controlling system in the insurance company is appropriate. It is established that the practical aspects of the study of financial resources in the system of controlling insurance companies need further study in the direction of optimizing their use.

In particular, the main indicators of the development of the insurance market during the pandemic 2020 were analyzed and the comparison of these indicators from 2019 was made. The main factors that in today’s realities will encourage consumers to buy insurance protection are allocated, the peculiarities of interaction of insurers with insurance companies when concluding insurance contracts during the quarantine period are highlighted. It is determined that development of the insurance market in Ukraine in the context of the global coronavirus pandemic and in the novel regulatory conditions was characterized by the active implementation of innovative technologies in the activities of insurance companies and the «purification» of the market from weak and inefficient companies. It is proved that according to the main indicators of development, the market has suffered a slight recession, and therefore, the impact of the pandemic on the insurance market in Ukraine can be considered moderate. It is detected that the key factors when choosing an insurance company to buy insurance protection today are: opportunity to purchase an insurance service online; individual tariffs for each consumer based on their specific needs; presence of an easy-to-use mobile application. Thus, insurance companies that will be able to quickly reorganize their IT infrastructure to simplify the customers’ access to insurance services, providing the most convenient way (channel) of interaction, and offering products that best meet their lifestyle and needs, will strengthen consumer confidence and develop their business within those consumer ecosystems that are being formed in today’s turbulent conditions of development.

The article is aimed at assessing the impact of the Solvency II requirements on the Ukrainian insurance market and making a forecast of possible situations after the introduction of these requirements. To achieve the aim, the following tasks were set: to describe both the quantitative and the qualitative requirements of the Solvency II in the EU and the conditions for their use in the Ukrainian insurance market; to predict a possible change in the insurance market of Ukraine under the influence of the Solvency II quantitative requirements, which was performed as a result of the presented research. It is specified that the «novelty» envisaged by the Solvency II, which is related to the use of internal models, is an important step in the different sense of the assessment of the activities of insurance companies. This assessment is dominated not only by the quantitative parameters, but also by the problem of generally recognized risk, to which company is inclined and which is ready to take over. However, a significant number of aspects of this approach still need to be closer defined. The criteria related to the use of internal models for the needs of the supervisory authority have so far had the nature of the initial assumptions, and the experience of insurance companies (using internal models for their own needs, not the needs of the supervisory authority) concerns only a small percentage of companies. The internal model allows the insurance company to independently determine the actual demand for the required amount of guarantee capital. However, internal models include certain risks. The most important types of risks to consider in the internal models are grouped as follows: technical and insurance risk; risk associated with assets; operational risk and other types of risk. It is projected that the implementation of the project is likely to face many more unexpected problems, but the idea itself is interesting and understood by both insurance companies and regulatory authorities.

AbstractThe paper firstly examines the way in which U.K. mutuals operate and the forces which are leading mutuals to consider demutualisation. Demutualisation is normally accomplished by a Scheme of Transfer under Section 49 of the Insurance Companies Act 1982. The role of the directors and actuaries is discussed, including the impact of the Institute's latest Guidance Note (GN15).The protection of policyholders' reasonable expectations, the value of membership rights and the basis of dealing with any orphan surplus are the central problems. The paper examines them in the context of both the open fund and closed fund situation and shows how they may be resolved.A simple model is used to project the financial position of both an open and closed fund in a demutualised company. The relative advantages and disadvantages of each indicate that different courses of action may be appropriate for mutuals in differing financial positions.

Competition is an integral part of the insurance market in Ukraine. That is why it is a key factor in the strategy of the insurance company, and marketing policy is an integral part of it. The competition of insurance companies is aimed at expanding its insurance market share. The purpose of the paper is development of theoretical foundations and practical recommendations for insurance company competitiveness management in the context of its marketing policy. Currently, there is a significant reduction in the number of insurance companies at the insurance market in Ukraine. 79 insurance companies left the market from the beginning of 2018 to the third quarter of 2020. Competition encourages insurance companies to invent innovative insurance products, implement new marketing tools, and optimize cost structures. The author performed a cluster analysis of insurers in the field of two factors – the volume of assets and the amount of net earned premiums. Economic and mathematical methods were used to analyze the impact of sales costs (X) on the amount of net earned insurance premiums (Y). The high value of the correlation coefficient indicates a close linear relationship between the factor and the resulting indicator. The digitalization of the world economy has significant impact on the effective marketing activities. The main directions of development of insurance companies are the ability to remotely sell the insurance product on the website or via a mobile application, the correct choice of target audience for targeted advertising, the presence of the insurance company on social media and so on. On the one hand, costs of marketing and advertising make it possible to increase the amount of net earned premiums of the insurance company, and on the other hand, the introduction of the latest tools for selling insurance products makes the insurer closer to its customer.

The relevance of the study is that the crisis in the financial and real sectors of the economy leads to financial instability of business. This issue is especially acute for insurance companies, which attract significant financial resources on a long-term basis or funds from risky types of insurance. The crisis related to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to problems in the Ukrainian insurance services market, which requires the introduction of new management tools for insurance companies. Under such conditions, there is a need to find and implement ways to improve management efficiency, which will be aimed at achieving financial stability, increasing profitability and eliminating crisis manifestations in financial activities. The object of the study is the financial activity of the insurance company to improve the tools of business management. It is noted that the insurance services market is the second in terms of capitalization among other non-banking financial markets. An analysis of the situation in the insurance market for the previous period, which shows that the number of insurance companies continues to decline, which requires a more detailed study of the impact of business management tools. It is noted that the NBU has been a regulator of insurance companies for more than a year in terms of solvency requirements, which is positive in the development of this business, as more decisive action has been taken to apply enforcement measures for non-compliance with Ukrainian legislation. It is proposed to introduce a set of tools to improve the management of the insurance company: the development of an effective procedure for adjusting the financial condition, tools to improve management and government regulation to create a strategy for the development of the insurance market. The regulator’s implementation of financial performance and the adoption of relevant laws will help determine the development strategy and business model, which will form capital adequacy, provide the necessary level of liquidity and asset quality, which will help financial stability of companies, restore consumer confidence in the insurance market.
