IRLA is the UK market body for insurance and reinsurance legacy management professionals. IRLA is recognised as the voice of the legacy management sector by a wide range of government and market bodies including the UK Financial Services Authority (FSA) and the Department of Work and Pensions.

IRLA activities range from industry consultation with government to promotion of the sector’s skills and expertise. In particular, the IRLA Academy provides top quality, competitively priced, training that is fully accredited by the Chartered Insurance Institute, one of the world’s premier professional training organisations for the general insurance industry. More recently, IRLA has also established its own, annual awards designed to promote and recognise excellence in legacy management.

With some 200 members spanning reinsurers and insurers with discontinued business (both solvent and insolvent), service providers and associated professionals such as accountants and lawyers, over the past decade ARC’s membership has also grown and broadened to include companies from Continental Europe and the US, so highlighting the development of the legacy management sector globally.
