Frequently Asked Premium Audit Questions
A premium audit is required of all Workers Compensation and many other business policies. The audit is based on the time your policy was in force. The results of your audit are reported among other policy data to state rating bureaus to support accurate loss cost development and experience modifications for your business.
Premium audits enable customers to:
- Pay the correct premium for their coverage
- Understand the proper classification for their type of risk/business
- More accurately predict annual premium
Note, failure to comply with the request for a premium audit may result in an audit non-compliance charge, an estimated audit and/or cancelation of your policy.
In most states, corporate officers are included, but can be excluded from coverage by having the appropriate officer exclusion endorsement added when the policy is issued.
Owners, partners or members of an LLC may or may not be included depending on state rules.
Your auditor can provide you with your state’s rule.
