As such, he described the service as a “perfect extension to the compliance and audit work” that Paragem provides to its customer base of over 150 dealers.
“We feel premiums can be contained and that underwriters will be able to assess risk better if there is a compliance accreditation that the business has been assessed by an independent expert.”
Paragem, which also helps to process new licence applications, also intends to provide the new PI services to all new licences issued from 2008.
