"...  There are consequences for not reporting. Each regulator can impose fines," said yesterday the Superintendent of Insurance and Reinsurance of Panama, Jose Joaquin Riesen, who acknowledged that, in his sector, there is still work to do. "We are working on awareness of the regulations. We have redoubled efforts in the Superintendency calling on the whole sector, especially insurance brokers, to be trained," he said. Of the approximately 2,800 regulated subjects which are in the insurance sector, only half are registered with the UAF. "
 
Prensa.com reports that "...Carlamara Sanchez, Intendent of Supervision and Regulation of Non-Financial Subjects, said it is "important that all non-financial subjects fill out a form (called ADSO) to update their data which is used by the UAF to register everyone who is subject to regulation. This form generates a code that will allow the company to report online".
