Zurich Municipal is to take part in a conference discussing the growth of fraud in Britain.
"Fighting Fraud Together" has been organised by the London Public Sector Counter-Fraud Partnership to focus on how insurers, local authorities, the police and the Serious Fraud Office can cooperate to combat fraud.
Zurich Municipal said an area of concern was the number of fraudulent insurance claims made against local authorities. It said the number of these claims had increased substantially since the introduction of conditional fee arrangements, the no win, no fee procedures introduced after the abolition of legal aid for civil cases.
Zurich Municipal said the key to combating these fraudulent claims was for all those involved in fighting fraud to share data and identify potential cases in the early stages.
