Indonesia Insurance Corporate Governance: A Literature Review

Abstract

The aim of this research is to present and evaluate corporate governance framework for insurance companies in Indonesia based on previous researches related to corporate governance and The Indonesia Financial Services Authority Regulation. We evaluate concerning to governance objectives that include protecting shareholder interests, enhancing shareholder value, ensuring accountability, managing risk, promoting ethical behavior, transparency and disclosure, balancing interests, strategic decision-making, compliance with laws and regulations, efficient operations, long-term sustainability, stakeholder engagement, adapting to change, creating a positive reputation, and facilitating investment. We discuss the corporate governance framework for insurance companies in Indonesia based on the Indonesia Financial Services Authority regulation that states governance structure, corporate governance code, self-assessment & governance report, governance process and corporate governance principles to meet governance objectives. Although every year all insurance companies report corporate governance, but some companies have been stopped by the Authority. This raises research problems for the future relating to why insurance companies that have complied with corporate governance provisions have been stopped by the Authority.
