The Brazilian Superintendence of Private Insurance has approved a new set of internal bylaws that updates its organisational structure, with changes aimed at strengthening institutional governance and reallocating responsibilities across units. The restructuring aligns SUSEP with the new staffing framework set by Decree No. 12,801 of 26 December 2025, which reallocated executive commissioned positions (CCE) and functions (FCE) to the authority. Key changes include new coordination-general units within the Superintendent’s Office for technical and administrative advisory and for parliamentary advisory, and a redistribution of responsibilities across core functions. The former Coordination-General for Special Regimes, Authorisations and Judgments was split into three units covering accreditations, registries and special regimes (CGCCR), authorisations (CGAUT), and sanctioning administrative proceedings (CGPAS). In conduct supervision, SUSEP created separate units for conduct monitoring (CGMOC) and conduct inspections (CGFIC), while the regulation area gained a prudential and accounting regulation unit (CGPEC) and a unit focused on infrastructure regulation and market organisation (CGRIO). The bylaws also provide for a SUSEP representative office in Rio de Janeiro and adjust senior management responsibilities and drafting for greater clarity; the new rules enter into force on 1 April 2026.
