Insurance

These days, insurance companies deal with a number of complexities. Globalization, low investment returns, pressure to enhance shareholder value and industry consolidation, are crucial when making business decisions. Pricing competition is fierce, due to deregulation. Competition comes not only from other insurance companies, but also from banks, and alternative risk management mechanisms. Financial reforms around the globe are creating new regulatory and governance environments, affecting the economics of doing business.

To survive and thrive in this environment, insurance companies must stay focused on increasing premiums, adding additional debt and/or capital, leveraging technology and other processes successfully to reduce costs, and realigning their lines of business to excel within niche or specialty markets.

In the complex and fast evolving environment of the insurance industry, we – at KPMG – are working closely with our clients to help them understand implications, develop appropriate strategies and organizational responses and to manage the business and technology risks.

KPMG has a wide range of experience, working with major insurers on financial and regulatory reporting, mergers and acquisitions, tax management and cost containment strategies.
