In this BILA lunchtime lecture, James Davey will consider the reliability of statistics on insurance fraud, and the effect that this has on lawmakers and policymakers. By stating an overall number, ‘£1.3bn detected and a similar amount in undetected fraud’, the industry merges together a wide variety of different issues. Proper mitigation of insurance fraud requires a detailed understanding of the nature and causes of this complex issue. Professor Davey will compare the insurance industry’s exposure to fraud by comparison to retail goods (shoplifting, employee fraud, and ‘passing off’ of counterfeit goods) to show that insurance is not an isolated example.
