Global accounting standards continue to evolve. For mid-sized and large accounting firms, staying current isn’t just about compliance; it’s a core part of managing risk in today’s fast-moving, high-stakes financial landscape. As firms expand into international markets, professional liability insurance for accountants becomes a necessary line of defense.
The shift toward harmonized financial reporting frameworks, including IFRS and U.S. GAAP, has increased regulatory pressure. Firms working across borders must stay current with shifting disclosure rules, jurisdictional updates, and layered documentation requirements.
With IFRS now adopted by more than 140 jurisdictions, the expectations for accuracy and consistency in financial disclosures are higher than ever. For mid-sized and large firms, even minor reporting oversights, like a missed footnote or delayed disclosure, can quickly escalate into claims of professional negligence if tied to client losses. These exposures grow when firms serve multinational clients or those listed in international markets, where transparency and timeliness are non-negotiable.
Firms engaged in global audits, cross-border tax strategies, or multinational mergers are no longer handling routine assignments. These engagements often involve high-value clients in tightly regulated industries, where the margin for error is slim and the appetite for litigation is high.
In this environment, professional liability insurance for accountants must go beyond standard protections. Mid-sized and large firms require policies that reflect the realities of international advisory work, overlapping tax jurisdictions, and compliance risks that shift with every regulatory update.
Huntersure provides professional liability insurance tailored for accounting firms with $25 million or more in annual revenue. These firms typically offer a broad mix of services — including tax planning, audits, notary services, compilations, and consulting — across multiple sectors and regulatory environments.
Effective coverage should include claims-made protection, legal defense costs, and endorsements for emerging exposures, such as errors in international tax structuring, financial misstatements, or noncompliance with jurisdiction-specific standards.
Huntersure’s underwriters bring decades of experience in E&O for accounting professionals. We work with agents to build policies that reflect the client’s actual services and operational footprint, whether focused on audit, tax, consulting, or all three. Our team offers quick quoting, responsive service, and the confidence that comes from being backed by a top-tier carrier.
For firms operating across borders, generic liability coverage doesn’t go far enough. They need a carrier that understands cross-border exposures, international reporting requirements, and the reputational risks accountants face. Agents who bring those solutions to the table offer more than just protection — they help clients strengthen trust and credibility.
Huntersure makes it easy to place comprehensive, scalable coverage for today’s mid-sized and large accounting firms. With dependable underwriting, deep industry knowledge, and flexible policy design, you can offer your clients the protection they need to stay ahead of global compliance demands.
