OREANDA-NEWS. October 7, 2011. The 7th Russian large business international forum Expert 400 took place in The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Moscow. During the event Ingosstrakh Insurance Company received and award for information openness.

Experts vote for Ingosstrakh Insurance Company in this nomination for the sixth year in a row. According to General Director of Expert RA rating Agency, Dmitry Grishankov, "The company always discloses reliable and comprehensive information about its activities to partners, clients, media and rating agencies. Even during the crisis, when many companies retired into their shells and decreased their information activities, Ingosstrakh Insurance Company remained an active player in the information space.  Ingosstrakh Insurance Company is among the first Russian insurance companies that have implemented and disclose IFRS reports, receive independent rating and use risk management systems. I think that Ingosstrakh Insurance Company can be a role model for competitors in the area of transparency, financial management and reporting quality”.
