Rules for Developing the Correct Premium
Length: 2 Hours
Insurance premiums are based upon certain exposures which cannot be definitively known at policy inception, only estimated. Since the basis of premium is only estimated, the insurer may not be paid the correct premium for the insured exposure. To assure proper premiums, a premium audit is performed after the policy period ends.
Since agents are often caught in the middle of an audit, they need to understand all the facets involved.
