How to Prepare for Your Business Insurance Premium Audit
Keeping proper records and documentation throughout the insurance policy period may save you time and money. An accurate audit depends on having your records prepared for review. If the audit is done in person, be sure that a person with detailed knowledge of your business is available to answer questions and review results of the premium audit. If the audit is done "virtually", having your documents prepared ahead of time will expedite your online experience.
