Policy enhancements under the ICAEW members' scheme

As well as meeting the minimum requirements set out by the ICAEW, the scheme also provides enhanced benefits designed specifically for members, including:

• a six year run-off period available in a block policy
• cost of court attendance compensation limit is increased for the principal partner, member or director
• cover for replacing, restoring or reconstituting physical documents
• circumstances known prior to the inception of the policy period that have not previously reported, are not automatically excluded
• cover for appointments as a director of a third party company – cover provided is only in relation to services defined by the insurer
• insurer security termination clause, allowing you to terminate the cover if the insurer’s security rating is reduced
• joint ventures – limited to acts of the insured only and excludes claims for work carried out by other parties/employees of the joint venture
• Members also benefit from packaged cover that includes PI, office, and cyber insurance, helping to eliminate gaps and overlaps in cover.
