Synopsis

As it absorbs new features such as the spread of direct insurance, the growing European influence and the narrowing of the distinction between insurance, banking and other financial activities, the insurance industry becomes ever more complex. This text explains the principles, practice and procedures that govern how the insurance industry works. Covering everything from the fundamental concepts of risk and risk management down to the structure of proposal forms, the book serves as both a student text, a comprehensive primer for new entrants to careers in insurance, and a reference for experienced practitioners. The book covers insurance generally, the insurance market, insurance in practice, the major classes of insurance, the basic principles of insurance and the supervision and regulation of insurance. It pays particular attention to important developments in the industry, including newer types of insurance, new insurance products and special features of the market of the mid-1990s.

For students of insurance and newcomers who wish to us it as a self-teaching aid, each chapter of the text forms an individual learning unit, followed by a progress test which should be helpful to those sitting CII examinations. In addition, objective tests and assignments are set at the end of each main part of the book.
