The Tanzania Insurance Regulatory Authority has trained its regional officers to identify, prevent and promptly report insurance fraud, strengthening regional implementation of its broader fraud risk controls. The initiative follows its recent engagement with insurers on draft guidance covering fraud detection, prevention and reporting, as well as earlier training for insurance sector claims and legal officers. The training emphasized due diligence when registering insurance agents to avoid admitting unqualified or higher risk applicants. It also addressed fraud risks in motor, property and fire, health and life insurance, including the use of technology to forge insurance related information and documents.
