Risk Manager Insights

We regularly survey risk, compliance and ICS managers at Swiss insurance companies on current topics. Thanks to our long-term series of surveys, we can draw a unique picture of developments in the field of risk and control at health, life, non-life and reinsurance companies. The studies were conducted in cooperation with Mazars AG. Below you will find all publications and studies. If you have a question or suggestion for a next study, please contact Angela Zeier Röschmann. You are looking for continuing education on the topics of insurance law, regulation, compliance, risk management in the insurance sector?
