Anti-financial crime requirements for insurers

Practice notes

The cost to insurers, not only in pure financial terms but in terms of management hours and reputational damage, when failings come to light in their anti-financial crime systems and controls, policies and procedures, and governance structures, can be considerable. This Practice Note considers anti-money laundering (AML), combating terrorist financing (CTF) requirements and the Joint Money Laundering Steering Group (JMLSG) Guidance for general insurers.
