⚠️ Your Exposure

Why accountants can't practise without it.

Clients trust your numbers and your advice. When a figure is wrong or a deadline slips, the liability is yours.

🧮

A mistake in accounts, returns or filings can lead to penalties and a claim for the client's loss.

📅

Missed Deadlines

A late tax or statutory filing can trigger fines the client will look to recover from you.

💡

Negligent Advice

Tax or financial advice that proves wrong can cause real loss and liability.

🔍

Audit Failures

A missed misstatement or oversight in an audit can result in a significant claim.

📉

Financial Loss Claims

Clients who suffer loss they attribute to your work can pursue the firm for damages.

💬

Disputes & Complaints

Even baseless disputes cost time and legal fees. Your cover defends you.

📁 Real Scenarios

Claims accountants actually face.

These aren't edge cases. A single claim, unprotected, can cost more than years of fees.

  1. Tax filing error: A mistake on a return leads to penalties the client demands you reimburse.
  2. Missed deadline: A late statutory submission triggers fines and a claim for the resulting loss.
  3. Negligent tax advice: A client acts on advice that proves costly and holds the firm liable.
  4. Audit oversight: A misstatement is missed and a third party claims reliance on the accounts.
  5. Bookkeeping error: An error in the numbers causes a client financial loss they pursue you for.
