firms. We have assisted a diverse range of Accounting firms, whose practices differ
dramatically by:
- Revenue size;
- Mix of activities: including large components of auditing, insolvency, financial

This allows us to provide our Accounting clients with PI advice on a broad range
of business activities that they may be involved in. Our knowledge of the Professional
Indemnity issues facing this industry and the solutions we deliver are second-to-none
in the General Insurance Broking industry.
In addition, Mega Capital is listed by the ICAA as a broker who can assist with
their members? PI insurance requirements.
A large percentage of our client base consists of Accountants. We have assisted
over 15% of the BRW Top 100 Accounting Firms including numerous National practices

We have seen that the level of premium and quality of policy coverage can range
considerably between insurers and even within insurers.
For example:
- Average premiums for a $1m limit can range between 0.5% and 2% of revenue;
- Excesses range between $1,000 and $100,000 and may be each and every claim or each
and every claimant;
- Limits of indemnity may include a reinstatement/s and may be inclusive or exclusive
of costs;
- Fidelity cover may/may not be included;
- Policy endorsements may exclude claims arising out of:
- Schemes deemed to be in breach of Part IVA of the ITA Act;
- Mergers & acquisitions advice;
- Business valuations and/or due diligence advice;

Investment Advice etc.
Therefore, it is important that you choose the RIGHT broker, one that is:
 |
|
 |

|
|
 |

At Mega Capital, we will ensure that you begin the renewal process early, provide
a comprehensive submission to the insurer(s) and that receive your quotation well
in advance of the renewal date and NOT at the 11th hour..
