With its ACCA members’ scheme already offering wide policy coverage and enhanced benefits such as legal expenses, a loss of documents extension, a 60-minute free legal helpline* and interest-free payment instalments, Lockton Companies has sought to further increase the benefits available to you.
A new portal allows you to renew your professional indemnity insurance quickly and securely online, with instant access to policy documentation.
The portal provides useful tools such as FAQs, topical articles, webinars and CPD learning modules. There is also the option to add extra covers to your insurance programme, including employers’ and public liability, management liability and cyber liability insurance.
The renewal process is simple and offers you the following benefits:
- Complete your renewal at a time that suits you
You will receive an email 45 days prior to your renewal date with a link to the portal and your log-in details. This will allow you to complete your renewal at a time that suits you.
- Pre-populated proposal form
Your proposal form will be pre-populated with the information you provided at your last renewal. This means you will only be required to complete a short statement of fact and, if necessary, make changes to last year’s answers.
- Additional cover option
Additional cover options will be provided, including employers’ and public liability, management liability and cyber liability insurance. Should you choose to add any of these valuable protections, there will be a short and simple statement of fact for you to complete.
- Instant quotation
Once you have completed the relevant statements of fact, and if you fit the quotation criteria, instant quotes will be generated. You will also have the option of choosing quotes based on alternative limits and excesses.
- Easy payment process
You will be able to make secure credit and debit card payments.
- Instant access to your renewal documentation
Once you have accepted your quotation, cover will be bound and your policy documentation will immediately be generated. This will be stored in the ‘your documents’ folder allowing any-time access. This means you can readily access your policy documentation during any ACCA monitoring visit and can use this as evidence of having appropriate cover when renewing your practising certificate.
Lockton has a team of knowledgeable and experienced staff on hand to help you through the process should you require any immediate assistance or have any questions. You can, of course, still renew your policy directly through your account manager, if you prefer.
Find out more by calling 0117 906 5057 or emailing ACCAaccountants@uk.lockton.com.
*The helpline is not for the notification of claims but is intended to cover issues you may face in the course of your professional business which may relate to a professional negligence claim. Information about the helpline is available in the section ‘Your PI questions answered’.
