WEBINAR - The Psychology of Insurance Fraud

Why do people commit insurance fraud? Is it really because they feel it is a victimless crime against a faceless corporation or is there more at play?

In this thought-provoking webinar we will examine these questions and look specifically at how research from the field of psychology has revealed answers to these questions.. By understanding the psychological factors at play, we will be able to mitigate the risk and add another weapon to our armoury in the fight against insurance fraud.

By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:
➢ Identify the research from the field of psychology relating to insurance fraud.
➢ Explain what psychological factors are at play when someone commits insurance fraud.
➢ Implement a strategy for including psychological considerations in the fight against insurance fraud.
