What the course covers

The course material provides an extensive overview of ethical principles and practices within the insurance industry, structured as a continuing education course for professionals. It emphasizes that ethical conduct extends beyond mere regulatory compliance and requires a commitment to serving the client's best interests, establishing trust as the foundation of the business. The text thoroughly examines ethical obligations across various insurance sectors, including Health, Life, Annuity, Property and Casualty, and products for the Elderly, outlining specific challenges like suitability, disclosure, managing conflicts of interest, and addressing the vulnerability of senior clients. Furthermore, it introduces classical ethical frameworks (utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics) and provides models for ethical decision-making and ongoing professional competence.
