Top Tip #1
Be aware of your corporate responsibilities to minimise the risk of an indemnity claim. Directors and officers are expected to exercise their corporate responsibilities in good faith, in a manner one reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the corporation.
Top Tip #2
Review the indemnity limits on your Directors and Officers insurance policy on a regular basis to ensure the maximum amount of compensation meets your current needs.
Top Tip #3
Confirm any changes in position with your Directors and Officers insurance provider as soon as possible. Some providers simply require a single update on all employees once a year but this can vary.
FAQs
Q: Am I covered if I fail to comply with regulations and law?
A: Yes, most Directors and Officers insurance policies will include this cover as standard. However, you should check with your broker or Insurance provider to ensure you are covered.
Q: Is fraud covered under Directors and Officers Insurance?
A: No. Fraud is a common exclusion under the Directors and Officers insurance policies.
Q: What protection does Directors and Officers Insurance provide?
A: Most Directors and Officers insurance policies include the costs of your legal defence as well as offering protection for your personal assets. Like all insurance policies, your Directors and Officers insurance provider will cover an agreed upon amount and any excess shall be sought from your own accounts.
Some Directors & Officers policies can be extended to include cover for Employers Practice Liability, but this in most cases is not an automatic extension and you should always check this with your broker.
Q: Will I be covered for claims relating to the period prior to taking out the insurance policy?
A: Most Directors and Officers insurance policies are written on a claims made basis, meaning they only cover claims which occur, and are filed, during the period detailed in the policy. If you require further cover, contact your provider to discuss a bespoke policy.
