The Insurance Fraud Taskforce has this week published its final report on insurance fraud, which sets out numerous recommendations for tackling fraud. The recommendations echo suggestions made in our previous blog from July 2015, and include raising public awareness of the issue and improving cooperation and data-sharing between insurers and other organisations.

The Taskforce, chaired by David Hertzell, is made up of representatives from various insurance organisations including the Association of British Insurers (the ABI), the British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA) and the Insurance Fraud Bureau (IFB), and its work is supported by HM Treasury and Ministry of Justice officials.

The 86 page report comes at the end of the Taskforce’s year-long review into insurance fraud and focuses in particular on personal injury claims.
