Now is the time for insurance to have its own
compliance conversation
Created by Axco and ICA, the FinCrime & Compliance Insurance Forum is the only event dedicated to the financial crime and compliance challenges unique to insurers.
Insurance firms face growing scrutiny over sanctions, financial crime controls, third-party oversight and cross-border compliance. Yet much of the guidance, discussion and best practice available today remains rooted in banking.
Insurers operate differently. They work through brokers, MGAs and coverholders, manage complex international risks and must respond rapidly to an increasingly volatile geopolitical and regulatory environment.
Join industry peers for practical insight, benchmarking and actionable strategies designed specifically for the insurance sector.
100+ delegates | 30+ speakers | 3+ hours of networking | Up to 6 CPD hours
Defining themes on the agenda
Maintaining control in the age
of AI
AI is moving beyond experimentation and into core compliance and financial crime processes. Explore how insurers are balancing innovation with accountability, maintaining effective oversight and preparing for a future shaped by increasingly autonomous technologies.
Sanctions decisions when the answer isn't clear
Screening may identify the risk, but the harder challenge is deciding whether to write the business, pay the claim or walk away when geopolitics, licensing uncertainty and commercial pressures collide. How do firms embed consistent sanctions judgement into underwriting and claims processes without becoming a blocker to growth?
Shared risk across the insurance value chain
Delegated authority may transfer activity, but not responsibility. How insurers are strengthening oversight, testing third-party controls and gaining assurance across brokers, MGAs and coverholder networks.
Global standards, local reality
How multinational insurers build compliance and financial crime frameworks that work across jurisdictions without creating fragmentation, duplication or unnecessary complexity. Explore how firms balance global consistency with local regulatory requirements and risk exposures.
From monitoring to
meaningful assurance
The question has shifted from whether controls exist to whether they work. How firms connect complaints, breaches, investigations and claims data, fix the data foundations underneath, and produce evidence that stands up to board and regulatory scrutiny.
From oversight to influence
How financial crime and compliance functions are earning a seat in underwriting, claims and distribution decisions, strengthening first-line ownership without becoming the operational owner of risk, and testing management understanding rather than assuming it.
Built for real dialogue
Insurance compliance leaders are often solving problems with no single right answer. That's why every session is built around real decisions, with dedicated time for delegates to compare approaches, share experiences and learn from peers facing the
same pressures.
Peer-to-peer roundtables
Benchmarking insights
Real-world decisions
Insurance compliance leaders are often tackling challenges with no single right answer. These small-group discussions provide a confidential forum to benchmark approaches, share lessons learned and test thinking with peers who understand the sector's realities. Explore topics including sanctions decision-making, delegated authority oversight, AI governance, fraud resilience, Consumer Duty and demonstrating compliance effectiveness.
Live polling during panels shows where each firm's approach sits against the room on controls, governance and priorities. Delegates see whether they are doing enough, or more than necessary, with anonymised results shared in real time.
Panels built around real dilemmas, not broad themes. Can we write it, pay it or walk away? How far can we rely on intermediaries? Senior practitioners explain how they approached complex decisions in practice, sharing the considerations, trade-offs and lessons learned along the way.
