The Regulation of Non-life Insurance in the United Kingdom

Abstract
This paper outlines the main principles of supervision of general insurance companies in the United Kingdom, and of Lloyd's of London, with particular emphasis on prudential regulation and the role of actuaries. Some international trends in insurance supervision are identified and indications given of how supervision may develop in the future, in the light of the role of the International Accounting Standards Committee in setting accounting standards and the role of the International Association of Insurance Supervisors in developing globally accepted standards for insurance regulation.
