Financial Crime Definition in CHAD: Insurance Industry at Risk

The rapid pace of technological advancements has led to increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks, making insurance companies vulnerable to fraud and financial crime. According to PwC’s 2022 Global Economic Crime and Fraud Survey, 46% of respondents’ firms had been exposed to fraud or financial crime within the previous 24 months.

The True Cost of Insurance Fraud

Insurance fraud imposes significant costs on insurance companies, resulting in higher premiums for policyholders. In the US alone, industry organizations estimate that insurance fraud costs $308.6 billion annually. This is a risk that insurers and brokers cannot ignore.

In today’s complex regulatory landscape, insurers and brokers face greater scrutiny of controls and potential penalties for identified failings. Organizations that are not proactive about identifying financial crime open themselves to the risk of millions in fines and severe reputational damage.
