Insurance Fraud and Auto Theft

Insurance agents and adjusters have the opportunity to learn about crimes impacting the insurance industry while receiving continuing education credits at the upcoming 2016 Conference on Insurance Fraud and Auto Theft. Online registration is now available for the October 12 conference sponsored by the Louisiana Department of Insurance and the Louisiana Automobile Theft and Insurance Fraud Prevention Authority (LATIFPA).

“From the high-tech detection of fraud to the prosecution and conviction of offenders, we are fortunate to have some of the leading professionals in the field of fraud prevention joining us to share their expertise,” said Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon. “As we work to recover from one of the most significant flood events in our nation’s history, we will also take a closer look at detection of disaster fraud.”

Producers and Adjusters can earn up to six hours of continuing education credits at the conference which will be held at the Crowne Plaza Baton Rouge Hotel on Wednesday, October 12. An agenda and registration information is available at www.ldi.la.gov/fraudconference.
