It commenced business as a general reinsurer in TJanuary 1987 and became a composite reinsurer in January 1990, providing Life and Non-Life reinsurance on both a treaty and facultative basis and has a well-diversified business mix and customer base. In line with the business objectives of its founders, to be a leading reinsurance company in Africa, the Company was converted to a public limited liability Company in 2000, and recapitalized from NGN 2 billion to NGN 10 billion in 2007 with widespread ownership including international investors. The Company was listed on the Nigeria Stock Exchange on May 30, 2007. Continental Re has since become an international company managed by seasoned professionals and complying with international standards in its business dealings.

The Lagos regional office covers the Anglophone West African countries; the regional office in Douala, Cameroon covers all Francophone denominated businesses in the West and Central Africa regions while the regional office in Nairobi, Kenya covers Eastern and Southern Africa businesses.

In view of this strategic positioning across Africa, Continental Re has significant business activities in over 40 African countries. CREDIT RATING Continental Re is rated by AM Best, London.

    NON-FEDERAL AUDIT OF THE SENEGAL FAMILY HEALTH AND IOPULATION PROJECT PROJECT No. 685-0248 Audit Report No. 7-685-91-05-N January 29, 1991 AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT Office of the Regional Inspector General for West Africa January 29, 1991 MEMORANDUM TO: Julius E. Coles, Director, USAID/Setiegal FROM: P 11 E.Armstrong, RIG/A/Dakar SUBJECT: Non-Federal Audit of the Senegal Family Health and Population Project, Audit Report No. 7-685-91-05-N Attached is the subject audit report prepared by Deloitte and Touche, Abidjan, Ivory Coast. The audit was performed at the request of USAID/Senegal. The $20.6 million Senegal Family Health and Population Project was designed to improve the health and well-being of Senegalese families through family services and to assist in compiling a data base for studying the relationship between economic development and population growth USAID first provided funds to the host government for implementing local currency activities under this project in November 1985. The host government managed these funds for a short time, and subsequently, with USAID approval, the funds were turned over to the International Science and Technology Institute (ISTI), the project technical assistance contractor. The objectives of the audit were to (i) determine the reasonableness and allowability of costs claimed by the host government and ISTI under the local currency account through June 1989; (ii) review project internal controls and operating procedures; and (iii) determine whether the project complied with applicable host government and USAID laws, regulations and agreements. The audit report recounts a long list of improper, unallowable, and wasteful uses of local currency funds on the part of the contractor: Consultancies totaling $50,000 were improperly paid to three full-time host aoverrunent employees.
