An insurance audit is a procedure where an insurance company examines a policyholder's financial records and information to validate the accuracy of the data provided during the issuance of the insurance policy.

The primary goal of an insurance audit is to ensure that the policyholder is charged the appropriate premium, taking into consideration the size of the business, its operations, and associated risks.

These audits serve to prevent both underpayment and overpayment of premiums and also to identify any misrepresentations made by policyholders or negligent agents.

Should any inconsistencies be uncovered during the audit, adjustments to the premium may be necessary to reflect the true level of risk exposure.

In cases where the audit reveals an overpayment, your company will receive a refund or credit that can be applied to your next policy term.

In addition to inquiring about your company's nature and services offered, we also ask three additional questions when initiating your commercial and worker's compensation insurance policy:

1. How many employees or subcontractors do you have?
2. How much is your Payroll?
3. What is your company's gross income?

Audits are a regular occurrence in our industry, and while they may sometimes occur randomly, they are a standard practice that should not be feared or seen as intimidating.

It is crucial to regularly check both your physical mail and email, making sure to open and review any correspondence from your insurance carriers.

When an audit is requested but not completed, insurance carriers may adjust your premium to match the national average for companies in the same industry. This adjustment could result in a significant increase, sometimes doubling or even tripling your payment, which you'll need to pay in a lump sum. The correction process can take several weeks.

So, always make it a habit to open your mail and emails promptly to see what they contain. It might be a routine billing statement that you typically overlook due to automatic payments, or it could indeed be an audit notification.
