Compliance in the Insurance Sector

March 2011Compliance Insurance

Abstract

Compliance, as an autonomous concept and with its own implementation rules, is relatively new in the Italian legal framework. The objectives that are assigned to a compliance department nowadays were, in the past, usually distributed amongst the different company departments that, in one way or another, handled issues relating to compliance with the law. For example to the legal department, which would supervise a company’s conformity with and adjustments to the law. In actual fact, verification of compliance with the law is not a totally new and alien subject for industrial multinationals operating in Italy (or for those with Anglo-Saxon/US origins operating in the industrial sector) , or for companies operating in the financial sector: indeed, despite only being implemented recently, the ‘MIFID’ European Directive, relating to markets in financial instruments, dates back to 2004, demonstrating that the culture of compliance already existed at European level.
