Hello Everyone! The CII are excited to announce that we are hosting a quiz night at The British Embassy Room on the 29th of October 2024! The event will take place at 7:00pm and will finish no later than 10:00pm. This will be a team-based quiz, each company will be able to submit as many teams as you wish, each team must be 4-6 players. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide any food at the venue. However, there is a bar available to us all on the evening (so I’m sure this will suffice!)

If you would like to submit your teams, please contact me with team numbers and names at my work email address: jack.z.johnson@uk.rsagroup.com

The latest ABI statistics relating to insurance fraud show a rise in application fraud and the number of detected incidents far outweigh fraudulent claims. Yet, when we talk as an industry about fraud, the focus is all too often on claims and curiously application fraud is somewhat overshadowed. All insurance professionals are on the frontline in the battle against this scourge. This session will shed light on what the latest ABI statistics tell us, the duties we have in law at the application stage and how to identify and counter application fraud.
