Fidelity Guarantee Insurance

Übersicht

Every business that handles money trusts someone with it: a cashier at the till, an accountant at the ledger, a storekeeper at the warehouse. Most repay that trust. A few do not. Fidelity guarantee insurance is the cover a wise employer buys against the one who does not, protecting the firm when a trusted employee steals, embezzles or defrauds it from the inside.

In this lesson you will learn exactly what fidelity guarantee insurance covers and the dishonest acts it answers for, the four ways a policy can be arranged (individual, collective, floating and blanket), what a bond is and why it needs three parties instead of two, and the sharp line that separates this cover from an ordinary fire or motor policy: the insurer's right to chase the wrongdoer for its money back.

Ziele

  1. Define fidelity guarantee insurance and explain the loss it protects against
  2. Describe the types of fidelity guarantee policy: individual, collective, floating and blanket
  3. Explain the nature and purpose of a bond
  4. Distinguish a fidelity guarantee policy from an ordinary insurance policy

Lektionshinweis

A supermarket in Abuja loses stock and cash quietly, month after month, and the owner cannot see where it goes. An audit finally uncovers a trusted cashier who has been pocketing takings for a year. The loss is real, but it was not caused by fire, flood or a burglar breaking in. It was caused by someone the business had every reason to trust. An ordinary fire or theft policy will not answer for it, because those cover accidents and outsiders, not the deliberate dishonesty of the firm's own staff. The cover that does answer for it is fidelity guarantee insurance, and knowing how it works is worth secure marks in every WAEC Insurance paper.
