What you need to know before filling out the claim form<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The CPA status comes with rights, but also imposes obligations to ensure that the public is protected. One of these obligations is participating in a professional liability insurance plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mission of the Insurance Fund<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The mission of the Fonds d\u2019assurance de la responsabilit\u00e9 professionnelle des CPA du Qu\u00e9bec administered by the Order is to provide participating CPAs with insurance coverage for the errors, faults and omissions they commit while practicing their profession and as members in good standing of the Order who are authorized to practice the CPA profession, while contributing to its mission of protecting the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To learn more about the general terms and conditions of the insurance coverage for CPA members, you can consult the current insurance policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Claims<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you believe that a CPA has made an error or an omission in your file, you may submit a claim to the Insurance Fund by filling out the form below with as much information and detail as possible. You have the burden of proving that your claim is founded and justified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps in the claim process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once it has received the online form and relevant documents, the Insurance Fund will forward your claim to the CPA concerned and request their version of the facts. The Insurance Fund will then review the file and contact you as soon as possible with its decision. If and only if the insured person is liable<\/strong>, the Insurance Fund will compensate you on their behalf, according to the terms and conditions of the applicable policy.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n \n\n

As the mission of the Insurance Fund is to insure the professional liability of CPAs who practice in Quebec, it cannot provide you with advice regarding your claim. We suggest that you consult a lawyer about any legal issues at your own expense. Please also note that you may not access our file and that the claim form does not give you any rights with respect to the Insurance Fund.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
