What it is?

Insurance audits are typically performed on commercial insurance policies providing auto, general liability, garage liability, umbrella and workers compensation coverages. When these policies are issued, you are asked to pay an estimated premium. Estimated premiums are based on the nature of your business and your estimate of exposures (i.e. payroll, sales, etc.) for the policy period. Once your policy expires, an audit is conducted to collect information on actual exposures and operations and then determine the final premium.

If your auto insurance doesn’t cover the costs, you are on the hook and your assets could be seized. Luckily, umbrella insurance policies were created for exactly this purpose. Umbrella policies kick in once you’ve passed the coverage limits on your underlying policies, protecting your assets from possible seizure.
