The West African Insurance Companies Association has announced that the focus of its upcoming Annual General Meeting and Conference will be on financial crimes in the subregion and the role of insurers in curbing the trend.

According to a statement from the association, the AGM would be convened under the theme Battling Financial Crimes in West Africa: Role of Insurers in Freetown, Sierra Leone, in May.

WAICA is the regional association of insurance companies and institutions in English-speaking West Africa. It was founded in 1973 by insurance institutions with the blessing of their respective governments in the five English-speaking West African countries.

Ahead of the annual conference, the Secretary-General of WAICA, Davis Iyasere, urged member companies and non-members to register their staff for it.

The local organising committee in Freetown has assured delegates that preparations are in top gear to make the conference experience remarkable.
