Illustration audit

What can an insurance illustration audit verify?

A useful document review begins with the insurer-issued original, not with the number that looks most attractive.

First compare like for like

Identify the insurer, product name and version, issue age, coverage amount, premium schedule, dividend option, policy year, illustrated assumptions and the exact definition of the cash figure. A guaranteed cash value and a non-guaranteed illustrated value must not be described as the same thing.

Verify a figure from its original page

On a complex table, the page number alone is not enough: you need the year, column heading, footnotes and whether premiums or additions are included. Policy Twin can surface selectable text as candidates on a Mac; it does not automatically approve table-column assignments.

Use the tools

Try the free illustration comparison tool for manually checked figures, or the Mac-local batch preview for text-source evidence. Never treat either as an official carrier illustration or legal advice.
