Corporate Governance

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) approved guidelines for insurers and pension funds to strengthen public confidence in the insurance industry and protect pensions from mismanagement and fraud ( www.oecd.org/dataoecd/19/10/34799740.pdf ; www.oecd.org/dataoecd/ ). Both sets of guidelines draw from the corporate governance principles the OECD created in 1999 and revised in 2004.
