Someone Else's Problem: A Case Study in Regulatory Failure

Research output: Contribution to conferenceAbstract

Abstract

There are always people who are willing to gamble with other peoples money for personal and ownership of an insurance company provides a wonderful opportunity to do so. Theoretically, there should be safeguards in place to prevent this: legislative restrictions, solvency requirements, regulatory oversight, accounting and actuarial standards, rating agencies, etc. This paper looks at one case study where these safeguards were spectacularly ineffective.
