Insurance law can be divided into three categories: regulation of the insurance business, the content of insurance policies, and the settlement of claims.
Regulatory compliance in the insurance field refers to the adherence of insurance companies to a comprehensive set of laws, regulations, guidelines, and standardsset by governing bodies.
The goal is to ensure fairness, transparency, and stability within the industry and to protect consumers and maintain market integrity.
This covers various aspects of an insurance company's operations, from product development and sales practices to claims handling and data protection.
