FUEDI welcomes new Scandinavian member
7 May 2010
After a number of years observing the activities of FUEDI in promoting the role of loss adjusters in Europe and the greater acceptance of the FUEDI ELAE qualification, FUEDI-ELAE, the Swedish Association of Independent Loss Adjusters (SFOS) had applied to join FUEDI.
At the FUEDI General Assembly held in Copenhagen last week it was unanimously agreed to accept SFOS’ application to join FUEDI as the fourteenth member.
Pia Lundberg, the SFOS President said “We are very pleased to be member and are looking forward to participating in the work with developing the loss adjuster’s role and market in Europe together with our fellow members in FUEDI."
At the same meeting Christian Leif Hansen, the FUEDI President stood down after a successful year in office. He was succeeded by M. Yves Legoux of the French loss adjusting association CEA, Compagnie des Experts Agréés. This will be his third term of office as President of FUEDI.
At the same meeting Tony Clack, FUEDI’s Education Director, retired after 22 years’ involvement with FUEDI. Martin Schorkhuber of AFILA, the Austrian association, was elected in his place.
IFAA consults on new global protocol
16 April 2009
The International Federation of Adjusting Associations is looking to establish a best practice protocol for the adjustment of insurance claims around the world.
The organisation has invited global bodies including the European Union, International Monetary Fund and World Bank to contribute.
IFAA vice president Paul May, who takes over as president on 30 April, said: "This is not an attempt at dictating best practice, but inviting interested parties to give their ideas on what best practice should be. We will be approaching regulators to consult with them on creating guidelines."
Consultation set to commence next month will tackle over-exposure in key geographies, especially on infrastructure projects in emerging markets, to instil international confidence.
The body is also creating a range of new qualifications to sit alongside its fellowship.
