Am I required to complete my audit?
The premium audit is a requirement of all insurance companies and is part of your policy conditions. If you do not complete the review, it may result in an Audit Noncompliance Charge of two times the estimated annual premium of your policy.
How will I know my audit has been processed?
When your audit is processed, an audit statement is created. This will be mailed directly to you.
Documents you may receive for your premium audit
Premium Audit Statement
This document will show
the adjusted premium on your policy as a result of the audit. This statement replaces the audited policy’s declaration page and lists the policy’s risk exposures by classification, rate and final premium. The premium audit statement impacts your billing account and invoicing, but is not an account invoice or “bill.”

This is the auditor’s report. It explains how the auditor determined the classifications and exposures listed on the Audit Statement described above.
Account Invoice
This invoice shows the status of your billing account. It will include
premium changes from the audit, as well as other policy charges and payments for all of the policies listed on your account.
