    • AU-2.1.13

      An insurance manager is a professional provider of services to insurance firms, which may include company secretarial, bookkeeping, claims processing and underwriting and, where duly licensed, insurance consulting and actuarial services. The CBB would, in principle, regard it as acceptable for the insurance manager to provide these services to other clients, whether or not insurance clients. It would not regard it as acceptable for the firm to combine these activities with that of insurance broker, although it is possible for a group to include both insurance broker and insurance manager activities, for instance, by an insurance broker establishing a subsidiary to act as an insurance manager (or vice versa).
