Why do accountants and auditors need business insurance?

Your work demands precision and accuracy. You’re also human, and mistakes happen. Accountant insurance helps pay for legal fees related to errors on a tax return, or a missed filing deadline. It also covers risks that can affect any business, such as theft and injuries.
