The Insurance Technical/Strategic Audit (ITSA) from Uncommon Solutions is a simple way to ensure that your insurance covers

achieve what you want them to achieve

avoid unexpected gaps and overlaps Gaps and overlaps often exist, BOTH of which can be damaging. Often an area of cover is common to two
policy forms, but is much better to be in one than the other.

This exercise will be useful for you at any time. Really it is a case of the sooner, the better – schedule the exercise now and obtain the benefits. If it suits to conduct this exercise in preparation for a later insurance tender (which we do recommend), it is still best to do this as soon as possible and the tender exercise when warranted.
