In today's global business environment, insurance executives, particularly Finance leaders, face continuous pressure to drive business results and meet financial reporting and regulatory requirements.

Reviewing the performance of peers is a powerful tool that leaders can use to identify performance gaps in the Finance department as well as in the broader organization.

WeiserMazars' 2011 Insurance Finance Leadership Study was designed to address key areas of interest, including operational efficiency, regulatory preparedness, and the position of Finance within the overall organization.

Leaders from a cross-section of the insurance industry were asked to respond to a series of targeted questions, and their insights are presented here.

We hope you find the results of our study useful and instructive.
