Financial awareness – a plain English overview for all insurance staff on how to understand clients’ accounts

Recent global events mean understanding clients’ accounts has never been more important for brokers and underwriters alike, with tremendous scrutiny now being put on clients' accounts, so account executives, account handlers and underwriters will need to understand the main terminology.

This presentation, provided by Alan Chandler one of the most popular presenters in the UK, looks to provide a plain English understanding of what is in a balance sheet and Profit and Loss account and how these can be read easily by non-accountants.

The webinar will also explore the difference between what an accountant records and what an insurer needs, this information can aid brokers and underwriters in helping policyholders avoid the under insurance trap.

Whilst this is aimed at Insurance Practitioners this webinar may also be of interest to PFS members.
