What is a premium audit?
A Premium Audit is a systematic inspection of an insured, their operations, financial records, and books of account to determine the actual earned premium for insurance coverage provided during the policy term. It’s important that the insurance carrier maintains accurate information concerning business operations, as well as financial data to the risk’s line of coverage. This ensures that the premium calculated is reflective of the line of insurance coverage being provided.
