Ethics and Insurance

Insurance is a large and essential industry. By nature, insurance is a contractual promise to do something in the future. Given these characteristics, the industry has become increasingly regulated.

One concern is the fair treatment of customers. Accordingly, some regulators require an annual review of ethics.

This training session by Neville Harriman of SRIM is accredited by RIBO for one hour of Continuing Education in the Ethics category. Registrants who attend the webinar in full will receive a certificate of participation on request.

Topics include:

  • Fair treatment of clients;

  • Client practice, “new & existing”;
