The Central Bank and other international regulators have been prioritising 'individual accountability' for several years. The introduction of a 'Senior Executive Accountability Regime' ('SEAR') in Ireland is a significant step in that development. In this episode Stephen D’Ardis from Arthur Cox provides very valuable insights into the impact of IAF/SEAR on D&O Insurance and provides some sound advice as to what firms should do to ensure their D&O remains appropriate considering the recent changes.

In the latest episode of Fully Covered, Sharon Donnery, the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland, shared some excellent insights into the role of the Central Bank, the current macroeconomic environment, challenges in the Irish insurance sector, and the Regulatory and Supervisory priorities for the Central Bank in 2024. Thank you, Sharon, for the enlightening conversation! #CentralBankOfIreland #InsuranceSector #RegulatoryPriorities #FullyCovered
