The First-Time Female Manager's Playbook to Lead with Authority, Earn Genuine Respect, and Build Teams That Deliver

Lloyd's Insurance Law Library

For readers with an insurance or commercial background, this book provides a high-level accessible introduction to the rules that govern the legal relationship between the parties to reinsurance contracts while simultaneously presenting a concise, in-depth analysis of contemporary developments for specialist and non-specialist readers alike.This is the first book to approach the analysis of the legal relationship between the parties through the lens of the balance of interests between reinsurer and reassured: while the Insurance Act 2015 was introduced to redress the former imbalance of interests between assured and insurer, it applies equally to reinsurance contracts. A text of this size must be selective about the range of legal rules it focuses on. The book is divided into six chapters: the presumption of back-to-back cover, Follow the Settlements clauses, damages for late payment of claims, claims clauses, the aggregation of losses, and the allocation of losses. These guide the reader through the main components of the parties' legal relationship, focussing on two recent reforms - section 13A and, to a lesser extent, section 11 of the Insurance Act 2015 - as well as contemporary developments including the aggregation of Covid-19 business interruption losses and the allocation of losses viz The Fairchild Enclave at the reinsurance level.Written for legal professionals with a connection to, or at least some prior knowledge of, the insurance industry, and recognising that overseas courts frequently refer to English law as representing international market practice, this book will find many readers worldwide including legal practitioners, industry professionals, and scholars.

Tradd Street Press

"The Origin and Early History of Insurance" is a comprehensive scholarly exploration of the foundational concepts of risk and indemnity that evolved long before the modern era. C.F. Trenerry meticulously traces the development of insurance practices from their earliest roots in the ancient civilizations of Babylon, Phoenicia, Greece, and Rome, illustrating how maritime commerce and social cooperation gave rise to complex financial safeguards. The work examines early forms of maritime loans and bottomry, which served as primitive insurance for high-stakes sea voyages, and explores the communal mutual aid structures found in medieval guilds and religious associations.This definitive study provides a deep dive into the legal and economic frameworks that allowed civilizations to manage uncertainty. By analyzing historical records and ancient statutes, the author demonstrates that the core principles of modern insurance-risk-sharing, premiums, and collective security-are deeply embedded in human history. Whether discussing the funerary societies of the Roman Empire or the nascent life insurance schemes of the Middle Ages, "The Origin and Early History of Insurance" offers invaluable insights into the social and economic ingenuity of past societies.

IFRS for Insurance Brokers and Agencies: Commission Income, Principal-Agent Judgements, Contract Assets, Receivables, and Financial Reporting DisclosuresInsurance brokers and agencies operate within a financial reporting environment where commission structures, premium collections, insurer settlements, contract assets, receivables, client money, and revenue adjustments create demanding accounting questions.IFRS for Insurance Brokers and Agencies provides a practical and technically rigorous guide to applying IFRS Accounting Standards across the principal transactions encountered by insurance intermediaries, brokers, agencies, managing general agents, reinsurance brokers, administrators, and insurance distribution businesses.The book places IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers at the centre of the analysis and explains how insurance intermediaries should identify customers, contracts, performance obligations, transaction prices, and appropriate revenue recognition dates. Particular attention is given to commission income, including initial commission, placement commission, renewal commission, service commission, contingent remuneration, performance-based fees, profit commission, cancellations, refunds, commission clawbacks, and revenue reversals.Detailed discussion addresses one of the most difficult areas in insurance intermediary accounting, the distinction between principal and agent under IFRS 15. Readers receive a structured framework for assessing control, responsibility for service delivery, pricing discretion, delegated authority, gross versus net revenue presentation, and the treatment of premium amounts collected for insurers.The book also examines contract assets, commission receivables, accrued income, and contract liabilities, explaining how service performance, conditional payment rights, invoicing, insurer confirmation, and cash collection create different financial statement balances.Dedicated coverage of IFRS 9 expected credit losses and IFRS 7 credit risk disclosures explains impairment of broker receivables, provision matrices, counterparty segmentation, insurer credit quality, ageing, forward-looking information, write-offs, recoveries, and concentration risk.Premium collections and insurer settlements receive separate attention. The discussion explains why premiums processed through brokerage accounts do not automatically represent revenue, how insurer settlement liabilities arise, how client-money and fiduciary arrangements affect financial reporting, and why restricted funds require separation from unrestricted corporate liquidity.Readers also receive practical examples of IFRS 15 revenue disclosures, IFRS 7 financial instrument disclosures, accounting policies, material judgements, contract balance disclosures, variable consideration wording, and principal-agent disclosure language suitable for understanding real financial statements.The book is particularly relevant for: - Accountants and finance managers working within insurance brokerage and agency businesses - Insurance brokers, managing general agents, administrators, and distribution platforms - Auditors reviewing commission revenue and intermediary financial statements - Financial controllers responsible for IFRS reporting and month-end close - Accounting and finance students studying IFRS 15, IFRS 9, and IFRS 7 - Consultants advising insurance intermediaries - Directors and managers seeking a clearer understanding of brokerage financial reporting - Professionals analysing insurance intermediary revenue, working capital, and cash flows

Transforming Risk

COVERED

You've been paying for insurance your entire adult life, but do you actually know what you have and how insurance actually works? Most people treat insurance like a bill they are forced to pay. The wealthy treat it like a weapon - the foundation of every dollar they have ever built. After nearly two decades in the financial services and insurance industry - selling it, training thousands of reps on it, and sitting across the table from tens of thousands of real people - author John D. Romero has seen both sides. And the difference between the people who win financially and the people who don't almost always comes down to one thing: protection. In COVERED, Romero breaks down every major type of insurance in plain, direct, sometimes brutally honest language. No condescension. No boring textbook. This is the insurance conversation a financially savvy older brother or sister would have with you - the one nobody else had. Inside you will learn: - Why not having liability insurance means you cannot collect pain and suffering - even when the accident is 100% the other person's fault - The pension maximization strategy most government employees have never heard - and how a whole life policy can more than double what their family receives at death - The HSA secret that turns a basic health plan into a triple tax-free retirement account - Why getting long-term care insurance in your 30s is one of the most confident financial moves you can make - The umbrella policy fine print that leaves most people completely unprotected after years of paying premiums - The pretax eyewear, dependent care, and adult parent reimbursement strategies most people never use &gt;Whether you are 25 and just starting out or 55 and finally paying attention, this book will identify the gaps in your coverage, show you what needs to change, and give you the confidence to go fix it. Rich people have always been covered. Now you will be too. John D. Romero is a former licensed investment advisor (Series 7, 66, 24) and life and health insurance professional with nearly two decades of industry experience. He is the author of Not Born Rich: The Guide to Financial Literacy and ASK: The Referral Journal. He lives in Orange County, California.

Managing Risk and Improving Profits

Construction Business for the 21st Century

A hush lingers over the factory floor as managers and workers navigate the complex web of trust, ambition, and uncertainty that defines the industrial age. In the crucible of early twentieth-century industry, the nature of workplace human relations was not simply a matter of policy, but of character and conviction. This insightful volume explores the evolving dynamics between management and employees at a time when industrial relations were being forged in the heat of rapid economic change and social upheaval. With rare clarity, it examines the foundations of effective employer-employee communication, revealing how mutual respect and understanding became crucial in maintaining productivity and harmony. The narrative delves into the challenges of industrial workforce management, from the subtle tensions on the shop floor to the broader philosophical questions of business leadership. It traces the roots of organisational behaviour history, illuminating the delicate balance between authority and empathy that shaped the modern workplace. Readers are guided through the real-world dilemmas faced by industrial leaders as they sought to reconcile profit with fairness, and efficiency with the dignity of labour. The book's measured reflections on management employee relations and labour relations history offer a window into the values and strategies that underpinned industrial age business ethics. The prose is both measured and engaging, providing a thoughtful perspective on the responsibilities of leadership and the aspirations of workers. This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations. This edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure. For anyone interested in the evolution of industrial workplace dynamics, or seeking to understand the roots of modern employee management strategies, this work stands as a vital historical document-one that continues to resonate with those who value the enduring complexities of work, leadership, and human connection.

*THE NO.1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*Bill Gates is one of the most transformative figures of our age. In Source Code he takes us back to his beginnings.He describes with candour his childhood in Seattle, the centrality of family - his close relationship with his card-playing grandmother and his demanding but caring parents - his struggles to fit in, his rebelliousness, his first deep friendships and the impact of losing his closest friend.We see Gates's extraordinary mind developing, the restless teenager who discovered a love of coding and computing at the dawn of a new era and felt that 'by applying my brain, I could solve even the world's most complex mysteries'. We see the earliest signs of his phenomenal business acumen, which led him to drop out of Harvard at the age of 20 to devote all his energies to Microsoft, the company he started with his childhood friend Paul Allen. He writes about his first involvement with three Steves - Jobs, Wozniak and Ballmer - who would play a crucial role in so much that followed.The book ends in the late 1970s when Microsoft, still with only a dozen employees, signed its first deal with Apple. The deals would go on and Microsoft would grow unimaginably. Yet Gates never forgot his mother's reminder that he was merely a steward of any wealth that he gained. This warm and inspiring book, Bill Gates' origin story, allows readers to understand his energy and ambition - and to see how he sets himself in the world.

GOVERNING AI IN INSURANCE A Practitioner's Playbook A Condensed Companion to The BFSI AI Governance Operating SystemInsurance is one of the highest-stakes domains for artificial intelligence. A single flawed AI decision doesn't just create an operational loss - it cascades into regulator scrutiny, reinsurance recoverability disputes, customer harm, solvency reporting failures, and litigation. Yet most AI governance frameworks stop at model accuracy and audit trails. They never answer the harder question: was this decision actually legitimate at the exact moment it became binding?This is the gap that Governing AI in Insurance closes.Written by Md. Imtiaz Uddoulla - Co-Founder &amp; CEO and Chief AI Governance Architect at Wayra AI Agency, with 18 years of frontline BFSI experience including senior roles at Pragati Life Insurance PLC and Pragati Insurance PLC - this playbook translates the author's four-volume WAG-OS (Wayra AI Governance Operating System) framework into a practical, function-by-function deployment guide for insurers.What's inside: <ul><li>The Insurance Risk Landscape - a systemic map of AI failure modes translated into real insurance scenarios: claims paid on stale policy data, policies issued during lapsed KYC windows, underwriting overrides captured by sales incentives, catastrophe-event "break-glass" bypasses of fraud screening, and more.</li><li>Eight Governed Functions - dedicated operational chapters covering Underwriting &amp; Pricing, Claims Processing &amp; Settlement, Fraud Detection &amp; SIU Operations, Reinsurance &amp; Treaty Compliance, Distribution &amp; Sales AI, Customer Servicing &amp; Complaints, Actuarial &amp; Reserving AI, and Regulatory Reporting &amp; Solvency - each with its own admissible state space, authority architecture, and certification lifecycle.</li><li>The Pre-Governance Phase - twelve mandatory readiness checks that must clear before any insurance AI use case goes live, with a concrete deployment-gate policy for blocking unready systems regardless of model performance.</li><li>Commit-Time Legitimacy - the book's central innovation: proving that standing, governing conditions, and authority were all valid at the exact moment a claim was paid, a policy bound, or a fraud hold released - not merely at the moment the model scored it.</li><li>Cross-Cutting Governance Layers - authority independence and beneficiary non-control, worst-case and exception governance, execution integrity certification, and independently verifiable witness evidence that reinsurers, auditors, and regulators can check years later without trusting the insurer's own systems.</li><li>Roles, Regulatory Mapping, and Roadmap - an accountability architecture, a mapping to major regulatory regimes, deployment readiness gates, a runtime operating model, an insurance-specific risk register, and a phased implementation roadmap - plus a full glossary and a cross-reference map back to the parent four-book series.</li></ul>Whether you're a Chief Risk Officer, Compliance Lead, Head of Underwriting, Claims or Actuarial executive, or a regulator overseeing insurance AI, this playbook gives you the operational language and control architecture to move AI in insurance from "technically accurate" to genuinely defensible, auditable, and execution-legitimate.This is a condensed, sector-specific companion to the author's four-volume series, The BFSI AI Governance Operating System.
