Hi
just wondered if I needed to have this or not.  I don't have a practising certificate with ACCA so am limited to the book-keeping work I can do (don't want to get kicked out after all those exams!).  So, I won't actually be doing any accounts, just the book-keeping.  All my clients have their final accounts signed off by an Accountancy Firm.  I thought if that was the case then maybe I wouldnt need the insurance?  Any thoughts?

Hi KC

Your clients can still hold you liable for mistakes that you make with their book-keeping. I would definitely get some PI insurance just so you're covered. Look around for quotes as prices vary a lot between insurers.

My best quote so far is with morethan coming in at £141.00.  Is it Trafalgar Risk Management that offered you cover for £49 - this sounds much easier to pay!!

Hi

I got the same quote from Morethan for around £141 pa.
I tried Trafalgar and they said they don't insure ACCA members.They gave me no reason although they insure CIMA members.

Hi,

I'm trying to get insurance from Trafalgar but I'm being quoted £150 plus on the quick quote. How did you get it for £49 ?? !!

Appreciate your help.

Thanks

Natalie

Are you a member of the ICB? Think they do it cheaper if you are!
