E&O SPOTLIGHT
The word "audit" tends to make people cringe. For some, the thoughts of mean IRS bean counters scrutinizing your finances come to mind. Over the years, we have referred to audits as "E&O Risk Management Reviews" or "Agency Operational Reviews," but that is really just semantics. Bottom line, however, is that the word audit can have a very positive meaning.

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA - Even if you have homeowners’, renters or flood insurance, you are urged to register with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Registering with FEMA is a primary step in qualifying for disaster assistance after contacting your insurance agent to see if disaster damage is covered.
