PwC Germany discussed if and how the Covid-19 pandemic affects the occurrence of economic crime in the insurance sector. The discussion focused on the following questions: What are the most common crimes, who are the offenders and what are their motives? PwC also discussed possibilities how insurance companies can protect themselves against the new wave of economic crime.

They were supported by Offenburg University, using empirical data from research at the Institute for Trade in Innovation at Offenburg University.
