Study Notes

Insurance Regulation and Technology

  • Deloitte's InFocus report examines insurance regulation and technology.
  • Rapid technology advancements (InsurTech) are transforming the insurance industry, challenging insurers' compliance organizations.
  • Opportunities to leverage new regulatory technology (RegTech) capabilities are also present.
  • Drivers for modernizing insurance compliance come from three directions: emerging RegTech, internal cost challenges, and continual regulatory changes.
  • RegTech can automate routine compliance tasks, reduce operational risks, and provide more insightful compliance risk assessments.

Top Takeaways

  • Insurance RegTech solutions (within 3-5 years) are predicted to significantly change how insurance company compliance operations function.
  • Sophisticated analytics, data integration, RPA, natural language generation/processing, and artificial intelligence are key elements of these solutions.
  • By automating more costly human functions, RegTech allows compliance professionals to address changing regulatory demands.

  • RegTech can potentially improve quality, reduce costs, and respond to regulatory changes.

Drivers for Modernizing Compliance

  • Internal challenges include a lack of executive leadership buy-in, fragmented compliance change management, lack of strategic vision, and resource/staffing issues.
  • Regulatory pressures include heightened standards and expectations, increased examinations and inspections, more enforcement actions and fines/penalties, new regulations, and complex/conflicting laws across multiple jurisdictions.
  • Emerging technologies such as RegTech, cognitive compliance, risk sensing, and automation are significant factors.
  • Big data and analytics, including unstructured, high-volume data, are crucial for risk identification and process improvement in compliance.

Insurance Regulator Technology Adoption Survey

  • State insurance regulators expect increased technology use to improve market oversight and respond to the digital transformation.
  • Top drivers for technology adoption by regulators include: automating manual processes, replacing legacy systems, adapting to changing regulatory demands, reducing operational costs, increasing oversight speed/quality.

How and Where to Invest

  • Insurance companies should strategically assess which compliance functions are best suited for automation based on criteria such as transaction volume, system usage, error proneness and exception handling.
  • Critical questions companies should ask when preparing their RegTech strategies include:
    • Identifying automation candidates.
    • Evaluating the effectiveness of current compliance practices.
    • Determining whether the company's operating model supports an analytics-driven focus.
    • Assessing internal expertise and external assistance needed.
    • Developing or acquiring the necessary RegTech capabilities.
  • Creating a robust business case to secure executive buy-in is essential for RegTech success.
  • Keeping abreast of competing companies' RegTech strategies is also important.
