The International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS)  has launched  on 15 January 2008, the IAIS DISCOVER (Development of Insurance Supervision Compendium of Virtual Educational Resources) Project in Beijing, China. The project is a major milestone on the path toward global convergence of insurance regulatory and supervisory frameworks. The IAIS DISCOVER Project will deliver a series of online tutorials to widen the reach of the Association’s standard-implementation initiatives, especially in developing and emerging markets. IAIS DISCOVER builds on the Core Curriculum for Insurance Supervisors, developed by the IAIS in cooperation with the World Bank. The interactive features of the online tutorials will improve delivery of topical insurance course content and facilitate timely updates from supervisory authorities on emerging issues, thus ensuring continued relevance of the tutorials. The web-based courses will complement the regular IAIS workshops and distance learning events.
