of 25 V1 effective 1st September 2021

List of participating insurers Please address any enquiries about the regulations, compliance or applications to: Sarah-Jane Owen Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) and Regulatory Manager T: +44 (0) 1908 546 238 E: [email protected] Any firm whose PII has been declined or who wishes to discuss the criteria for entry into the assigned risks pool (ARP) should first email [email protected] then contact: The ARP Manager FINPRO, The Accountants' Assigned Risks Pool Managers, a division of Marsh Limited Victoria House Queens Road Norwich NR1 3QQ T: +44 (0)1603 207 030 F: +44 (0)20 7929 2705 We recommend that any approach is made 14 days prior to the expiry date of your policy. Firms that wish to discuss their PII arrangements on a confidential basis may contact ICAEW’s Advisory Services on +44 (0)1908 248 250. There are two lists. One for firms based in the UK, Channel Islands and Isle of Man. Another for firms based in the Republic of Ireland. They are both in two parts: Direct Insurers Lloyd’s Syndicates and Insurance Companies Please note that Lloyd's Syndicates can only be approached by Lloyd’s brokers. Insurance Companies also prefer to be approached by a broker except for those in the list of Direct Insurers.

A Some policies are issued by intermediaries called managing general agents (MGAs) on behalf of participating insurers. The list below does not include MGAs as arrangements between MGAs and participating insurers can change during the course of the year. If you receive cover via an MGA you will need to confirm the participating insurer or insurers providing capacity to the MGA, as stated on the policy. If this is not clear from the policy documentation refer to your broker. To comply with ICAEW’s requirements policies issued by MGAs must be wholly ‘backed’ by participating insurers. The designation ‘participating insurer’ is used for the purpose of the Professional Indemnity Insurance Regulations. The term is not to be taken as an indication that ICAEW has performed independent checks as to the fitness, or continuing fitness, of an insurer to be included in the list.

B Inclusion of an insurer on this list does not mean that it will insure any firm that seeks a quotation as each will have their criteria, some of which are set out in the following list. You are advised to approach a specialist PII broker to obtain quotations for cover. Lloyd’s syndicates can only be approached by Lloyd’s brokers.
