Accountants Professional Indemnity Insurance

Professional indemnity insurance indemnifies you from the legal liability and legal defence costs you may incur as a result of breaching a duty of care to your clients.

Accountancy is a traditional profession having various professional bodies with differing membership requirements in relation to professional indemnity insurance. Often practices consist of professionally qualified members and unqualified but experienced members. Mixed practices are commonplace with a meeting of qualifications from the different professional bodies. The work of an accountancy practice is often diverse and it is important to understand and appreciate the risks that can be associated with each.
