Insurance sector risks and priorities for 2023

In January, we published our views on the issues facing insurance sector firms and their internal audit functions during 2022. We highlighted that recent years have seen considerable challenge and change, primarily as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

2. Financial management
3. Governance, culture & people
4. Operational & IT risks
5. Regulatory change
