Ernst & Young Organization to Sponsor Global Regulatory Panel Series on World Risk and Insurance News

    NEW YORK, NY, September 10, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- World Risk and Insurance News, Inc. (WRIN.tv), the online video news and information network for the global insurance community, announced plans to work with the global Ernst & Young organization (EY) to develop a special series of panel discussions focusing on "Global Regulatory Issues for the Insurance Industry." The series will appear on www.WRIN.tv beginning in September 2013.

The panel discussions will be held in London and New York and will feature prominent industry leaders, as well as representatives from government and regulatory bodies. Guests will debate important issues and trends and their impact on (re) insurance companies. Topics for discussion will include Solvency II, the UK's new Financial Conduct Authority, ComFrame, US Regulations, IFRS/FASB Accounting Rules, Developments in Asia and more. Segments will be hosted by Robert Stein, who was previously head of EY Global Actuarial sector and has over 40 years of experience in advising the insurance industry on financial operating challenges.

"Regulatory issues such as Solvency II are foremost on the minds of today's insurance executives. As the timeline for these initiatives continues to shift, companies need to consider the impact on business processes and systems. Adapting existing programs will require perseverance and understanding of the complexity and scale of change," said Shaun Crawford, Insurance Sector Leader, for Ernst & Young LLP, an EY member firm. "While the Asian market offers excellent potential for new capital and new business it also presents significant regulatory challenges."

"We are very pleased to be working with EY and Bob Stein, on this important Global Regulatory Series," said WRIN.tv Chief Executive Officer Dennis N. Richard. "EY is a global leader and advisor in the insurance industry, and together we will produce quality online video programming that will help insurance professional gain a broader prospective on the challenging and changing regulatory landscape."
