Our team advises Italian and non-Italian clients on corporate policy-making and planning of the most appropriate organisational and operational measures to manage the risk of money laundering, by setting up a proper structure of controls (compliance) and the adequate monitoring of this risk.

Our primary aim is to prevent the unlawful use of the clients as a vehicle for money laundering or terrorist financing and to protect them against any liability action and/or disciplinary proceeding, personal and/or on behalf of the company, arising from industry laws and regulations.

New IVASS regulation issued

 

In order to implement national and European legislation on consumer protection, on 30 August 2022, IVASS issued Regulation No. 53, laying down provisions for the use of external mystery shoppers.

Mystery shopping is defined as the activities directed towards the purchase (or the performance of acts preparatory to the purchase) of insurance products and insurance services addressed to consumers, also through online/telematic channels (so-called mystery surfing), conducted incognito by IVASS or entrusted by the Supervisory Authority to an external agent, towards insurance companies and intermediaries.

The Rules regulate the requirements (professionalism, experience and independence), tasks and remuneration (according to market criteria to ensure quality and reliability) of the external appointee.

The Regulation enters into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal.
