Audit and Inspection:

IRI provides comprehensive auditing services to facilitate your exercise of contractual Inspection rights.

These assignments result from the need for additional due diligence when you face business risks and opportunities in connection with the contractual performance of a third party, for instance a ceding company, a claims third-party administrator (TPA), an underwriting manager (MGA), or a underwriting pool manager. In these circumstances, IRI provides a proven audit program that can address all facets of the third-party’s operations (premium, commission, loss, and cash accounting and reporting, as well as pricing, underwriting, and reinsurance). We can also assess the accuracy of representations made by third-parties prior to entering the applicable contracts. If necessary, our audit program can be customized to fit your detailed requirements for a particular assignment.

When additional due diligence is required, retaining IRI will provide you the following benefits. Our staff are independent and can conduct the necessary due diligence while your staff preserve their day-to-day relationship with third party staff. In addition, we are specialists in performing Inspections and can leverage the expertise we have accumulated in many years of experience to benefit your organization. We prepare and maintain detailed workpapers to support our conclusions. We can work with the staff of the third-party to assist in implementing your recommendations. We are also ready to stand behind our Reports and have experience in giving deposition and hearing testimony in connection with arbitration or litigation, if necessary.

Some examples of prior IRI engagements include:

Staff Augmentation:
