“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” riskiest film of 2011

The Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company (FFIC), a leading insurer of Hollywood films, has named “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” as the riskiest film of 2011.

Based on the best-selling book by Stieg Larson, the production stars Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig as computer hacker, Lisbeth Salander, and journalist, Mikael Blomkvist.

According to the FFIC, the film featured a wide range of risky elements including motorcycle, skateboarding, fight and torture scenes, plus filming in foreign locations, all of which contributed appreciably to its overall risk.

Some action scenes, such as a key motorcycle scene from the book, had to be changed due to insurance concerns, while filming in a number of international locations posed a variety of challenges, including transportation of film equipment and costumes and the potential for dealing with illness in a foreign location.

Finding The Right Low Cost Auto Insurance

Men and women who have cars and trucks or any other vehicles have to carry state required auto insurance to be able to drive their automobiles on public roadways. Driving automobiles without having ample insurance encourages substantial penalties and fines, and even jail term in some situations. Whats more, one single accident can end up being devastating. As a way to avoid all these consequences, its necessary to have enough insurance coverage to handle any unanticipated situations.

Nevertheless, many vehicle owners solely purchase the state required insurance coverage for their motor vehicles as a consequence of high insurance costs.

When Instant Term Life Insurance Quotes aren’t so Instant

I received an advertisement email yesterday offering Instant Term Life Insurance Quotes. Being that our company, Lifeinsure.com, is in the business of marketing and selling life insurance online, I thought Id take a look at how one of our competitors was doing it.

I clicked the link on the email that said Get Instant Quote and was sent into the companys website, where it boldly states that Rates are Ready for you Right Away with no Wait. I enter my zip code, as requested, and away we go.

I am greeted by a typical web form, asking me how much life insurance I want, for what term, date of birth, height and weight, tobacco use and gender information that is needed in order to provide a life insurance quote.

Do you go to the vet often enough?

Dogs and cats are increasingly becoming part of the family, and are being treated as such. Dogs are no longer just outside animals, and are now sharing the bed and the couch with us. About two thirds of US homes have a dog or a cat, and the majority of people seem to agree that their animals are members of the family. However, despite the increase in the roles pets are playing in our family lives, there has been a disturbing negative trend in pet health.

Cost of fraud up 50%

The value of reported fraud in the UK rocketed to £2.095 billion in 2011, according to BDO’s latest FraudTrack report.

The figure is up 50% on 2010 and the highest ever recorded by the accountancy firm.

The analysis, which is based on reported fraud cases over £50,000, also shows a dramatic rise in the average value of cases: in 2011 there were 413 reported cases, at an average value of £5 million, compared with 372 cases in 2010, at an average value of £3.7 million.

After dominating fraud figures in recent years, the finance insurance sector accounted for only 27% of all reported fraud in 2011, compared to 56% a year earlier.

BDOs head of fraud, Simon Bevan, comments: “Financial services institutions have invested heavily in systems and technologies to prevent and track fraud, so the fact that reported fraud in this sector has decreased as a percentage of overall fraud suggests this approach is working.

However, in financial services, fraud is often committed by employees and management and Mr Bevan warns that some firms are currently too focused on preventing external fraudulent activity.

He recommends that organisations take a profit and loss approach to fraud risk, focusing on areas where most money is received or paid, as this is where the greatest fraud risk lies.
