INSURANCE RISKS CHECKLIST

Risks may be uninsured for a number of reasons, including:

  • Self Insurance - This is where you have elected NOT to insure certain risks. You will be responsible to cover all the losses yourself.

  • Under Insurance: If your sums insured or declared insurable values are inadequate and the policy   contains a co-insurance or average clause, you may not receive the full amount of the loss.

  • A Policy Deductible / Excess – You must bear the first part of the loss up to the amount of the excess.

  • Inadequate Loss Limits: If the sum insured is less than the amount of your exposure, any loss in excess of the sum insured will not be insured.

  • Excluded Perils: Some policies exclude certain perils, example - flood, storm surge and subsidence. You will not be insured for an excluded peril unless you ask for the cover.

We have indicated below a number of risks we believe may be important for you to consider. This list does not include all the policies available in the various insurance markets and is only intended to provide a summary of covers to assist in your assessment of whether such insurance protection may be needed.

Please note this list includes covers that you may have already purchased.

  • Flood: ‘Flood’ means the covering of normally dry land by water that has escaped or been released from the  normal confines of any lake, river, creek or other natural watercourse, whether or not altered or modified; or any reservoir, canal or dam.

  • Cyber Insurance: First Party Costs - reimburses the Insured for the costs they would incur to respond to a breach, such as IT Forensic Costs, Credit Monitoring Costs, Public Relations Expenses and Cyber Extortion Costs (including ransom payments to hackers). Third Party Claims - covers the Insured's liability to third parties from a failure to keep data secure, such as claims for compensation by third parties, investigations, defence costs and fines and penalties from breaching the Privacy Act.

  • Management Liability: This policy incorporates - Directors & Officers Liability, Statutory Liability, Crime cover, Employment Practices and Tax Audit expenses.

  • Business Interruption: The Business Interruption policy covers the insurable profits that would have been earned if the business was operating as usual. It is designed to put a business in the same financial position that it would have been in if no loss had occurred.

All these covers may not apply to your circumstances. However, as a business can change, we suggest that this list be reviewed regularly to ensure that your current insurance program is still satisfactory in meeting your needs. Please contact your Adviser if you require any additional information.
