Frequently asked questions

You are certain to have questions before deciding where to place your Professional Indemnity insurance.

Questions on policy

Q: Under what circumstances can a policy be cancelled?

The policy may be cancelled at any time.  Provided no claims or circumstances have been reported a pro-rata refund will be given from the date of cancellation.

Q: After the inception date of the policy, will accountants leaving the firm or joining the firm affect the premium?

No. We do not require an insured to advise us every time an accountant or partner joins the firm. However, we would need to be notified in the event of any succession to the firm taking place or in the event of any significant change to the firm.

Q: Are locums covered by the policy?

Yes, locums are covered by the policy.  If another firm is acting on your behalf as a "locum" (as is commonly the case with holiday cover for sole practitioners), your own insurance will respond to any claim arising out of the locum’s conduct, notwithstanding that the locum has insurance of its own.

Q: A firm is ceasing to trade and requires run off cover.  Are you able to offer this?

Run off cover refers to the cover that must continue after a firm ceases to trade.   We do not sell run off cover as a stand-alone product.
