Minimizing the many business impacts of dishonesty

Overview

Knowing the company's policies and procedures, a staff may use the information to take advantage of the company. They have the knowledge to skirt around security and set up crafty fraud systems. However, it’s not just the employees that you need to worry about. Crime can also come from external, invasive third parties. Failing to cover your assets from criminal activities may have serious ramifications.

AIG devises the insurance solution in accordance with such crimes. It does not only provide comprehensive coverage from the effects of dishonesty, but it also enables businesses to demonstrate their commitment to effective risk controls.
