Inspection Directorate

The Directorate carries out inspections regarding groups and undertakings of the insurance and reinsurance market and other entities under the supervision of IVASS.

It plans the inspections in collaboration with the organisational units responsible for remote supervision; it covers all the steps of the procedures relating to the review, management and keeping of the inspection reports and forwards the outcome of the inspections to the other Directorates according to their own competences.

Inspections can be conducted in collaboration with the Bank of Italy, other public authorities or EU insurance supervisors.

When performing its activity the Directorate may also use staff from outside the Directorate.

For situations which can lead to the application of sanctions against supervised entities it ascertains and notifies the violations and carries out preliminary investigations.

The Anti-money laundering Sector - set up within the Directorate - carries out inspections, performs analyses, provides collaboration to the other Authorities and covers the legislative aspects of contrasting money laundering and the financing of terrorism.
