MoneyHands.jpgNU’s latest quarterly ethics column focused on the controversy over whether insurance agents and brokers can continue accepting contingency fees from insurers for producing a certain volume or quality of business without creating a conflict of interest between what’s best for their clients against what benefits the agency’s bottom line.

The column was prepared by Peter R. Kensicki, a professor of insurance at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, Ky., as well as a member of the Ethics Committee of the CPCU Society. (You may reach Prof. Kensicki at [email protected].) We thank all of those who responded to NU’s query, and invite you to continue the dialogue here on my blog.
