Over the past few months, there has been a lot of information about transparency and disclosure. The following presentation, along with a Canadian intranet site has been developed to simplify the process. The success of this initiative will lie in the hands of all Aon employees, worldwide.
Since launched in early May on the Global Knowledge Exchange, the transparency site’s content and organization has continually improved. There is more information at the end of this presentation regarding where to look to find the documentation that you need. As the transparency documentation is constantly evolving, it is incumbent upon you to keep checking the “Guide to Greater Transparency at Aon Reed Stenhouse” site for the latest in compliance information and documentation.
In short, the overall intent of the changes to the way we conduct business is to provide Aon clients with:
full disclosure of all quotations and declinations received
full disclosure of Aon’s interest in any intermediaries used in the marketing
full disclosure of our total compensation
