Coverholder Audits

Independent coverholder audits that give you genuine oversight of your delegated authority network

Confidently oversee your coverholder network

Managing a delegated authority network means placing real trust in the firms writing business on your behalf. That trust needs to be backed by evidence. Regulatory expectations are increasing and a compliance framework that looks good on paper is no longer sufficient. You need to know that your coverholders are actually operating within the boundaries you’ve set.

At Pro Global, we deliver independent, evidence-based coverholder audits that go beyond documentation review. We look at how underwriting practices, policy management and contractual obligations are being applied in practice, not just what your governance framework says should happen.

This gives Audit, Compliance and Delegated Authority teams the evidence they need to confirm that coverholders are performing as expected across underwriting practicies, policy management, regulatory compliance and contractual adherence and that any gaps are identified and addressed before they become regulatory or financial problems.

What our Coverholder Audits cover

Our audits look at the full picture of coverholder performance, not just headline compliance. That means reviewing underwriting practices, policy management and regulatory and contractual adherence, but also going deeper into the financial detail.

We carry out transactional audit reviews of financial records, transactions and accounting to verify accuracy in reporting and fund movement. This includes detailed analysis of policies, cash acceptance, cash movement and bordereaux reconciliation, giving you confidence that what's being reported genuinely reflects what's happening on the ground.

Enhanced visibility via portal access

We provide secure portal access to support oversight and reporting across your entire coverholder population. Rather than managing audit findings across fragmented spreadsheets and email trails, you get a single, transparent view of audit activity, findings and remediation progress in one place.

 

Teams can track the status of any coverholder review in real time, capture evidence cleanly and monitor corrective actions as they are completed. It makes it much easier to demonstrate control effectiveness to your Audit Committee, Lloyd’s or any other regulatory body.

What Sets Us Apart

Our coverholder audits are led by people who understand how delegated authority really works. Every engagement is run by senior professionals with direct experience of the London Market, Lloyd’s requirements and the operational realities of managing large coverholder panels.
We don’t produce generic compliance checklists. We provide proportionate, defensible findings that help you make better decisions about your coverholder relationships. Technology supports our work, but professional judgement drives it.
