Premium Auditor - Workers Comp Term Of The Day

Workers Comp Premium Auditor – an individual who performs the audit of remuneration at the end of a policy period. The premium auditor may be an employee of the insurance company or a contractor hired by the insurance company.

He or she contacts the insured, on behalf of the company, to determine the actual exposure that occurred during the policy period. The determination may include viewing the appropriate business records either at the insured's or accountant's office, or they may request verification through the mail.
