Webinar - The Psychology of Insurance Fraud

Who should take part?

This webinar should be of particular interest to Underwriting and Claims staff whether with a Broker, Insurer, Loss Adjuster or other organisation involved the validation of insurance claims.

Why you should take part:

Why do people commit insurance fraud? Is it really because they feel it is a victimless crime against a faceless corporation or is there more at play?

In this thought-provoking webinar we will examine these questions and look specifically at how research from the field of psychology has revealed possible answers as to why people commit insurance fraud.

By understanding the psychological factors at play, we will be able to mitigate the risk and add another weapon to our armoury in the fight against insurance fraud.

• identify the research from the field of psychology relating to insurance fraud.
