UK insurers are grappling with the tough new business, investment and regulatory environment that is emerging from the financial crisis. As margins continue to tighten and market growth slows, the most successful insurers will be effective in judging where they have the most sustainable competitive advantages and matching opportunities to their core institutional capabilities. Smart firms are also looking at how to use the move to Solvency II as an opportunity to sharpen decision-making and capital efficiency and the developments in IFRS as a chance to enhance transparency and strengthen market confidence. Implementing and embedding firm wide risk management practices will provide a more informed and assured basis for business planning and performance management to underpin these significant changes.

Using our knowledge and expertise, we are well-placed to help life insurers, general insurers, reinsurers, the London Market and brokers stay ahead of the competition and the accelerating pace of market and regulatory change. Our specialist expertise in a range of key areas including assurance, tax, human resources, transaction services and consulting is augmented by market leading analysis and contributions to the development of industry-wide best practice.
