ACI - National Forum on AML & OFAC Compliance for Insurance

Event | 01.20.11 - 01.21.11, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

In the wake of the economic crisis, the insurance industry is facing increased regulatory scrutiny. Nowhere is this more evident than in the areas of AML and OFAC compliance. It is absolutely essential that those responsible for developing, implementing, and monitoring AML and OFAC compliance programs for insurance companies keep abreast of industry best practices as well as emerging requirements at both the state and federal levels. However, while insurance companies are expected to be compliant, they have not received much guidance with respect to how best to achieve compliance.

That is why American Conference Institute has created the National Forum on AML and OFAC Compliance for the Insurance Industry. This event has been developed specifically for in-house counsel and compliance professionals at insurance and reinsurance companies, as well as their outside counsel, who are responsible for AML and OFAC compliance. Their unparalleled faculty of high-level regulatory and enforcement officials from OFAC, IRS, DOJ and FinCEN, AML/OFAC compliance experts from industry leaders, and key outside counsel will provide you with best practices and proven strategies.

Mark Egert is one of the speakers at this event. His topic is "Developing and Implementing an AML Program That Will Ensure Ongoing Compliance With New and Emerging Requirements."

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today: In 1997, the California Supreme Court decided Buss v. Superior Court. In Buss, the court concluded that a liability insurer that defended a mixed action could seek reimbursement from the insured for the defense costs associated with the claims that were not even potentially covered. Since then, numerous courts have held that insurers are entitled to recoup their defense costs associated with uncovered claims or causes of action. On the other hand, a significant number of courts have rejected insurers’ right to recoupment, at least in the absence of a policy provision granting the insurer that right. Some commentators have even suggested that the current judicial trend might be away from permitting insurers to recoup their defense costs. Is that correct? Has the Buss stopped? This panel of coverage experts will analyze insurers’ claimed right to recoupment today, and offer their perspectives on what the law on recoupment should perhaps be and might be in the future.
