Why should you choose Marsh to arrange your insurance solutions?
The risk exposures of each business can differ based on a variety of factors. Some known and emerging exposures faced by bookkeepers include:
Negligence or breach of duty allegations from disgruntled customers
Injury or property damage claims from a third party
Property damage due to natural disaster
Cyber attacks if your customer or business data is stored by a third party, including accounting software and tools.
Claims made means that you (the insured) are covered for claims made against you during the current term of insurance. Even if the incident happened in the past.
Professional indemnity policies provide a 'claims made' basis of cover. This is because advice or service errors in many professions may not be discovered until weeks, months or even years after the mistake was made.
Therefore, a professional indemnity policy or 'run-off' policy must be in place for a claim to be met by an insurer.
It’s also important to note that, if the limit of indemnity was changed, the limit that applies is the one purchased when the claim is notified – not when the work was completed.
Our team supports bookkeepers to provide risk and insurance advice that’s tailored to your unique risk exposures.
Packages we recommend you consider typically include:
Professional indemnity insurance
Public liability insurance
Cyber insurance.
A certificate of currency is proof that you hold a current insurance policy.
