Premium Audit Preparation & Exposure Reconciliation
Reconcile estimated and actual exposure, organize audit records, and create a precise missing-document list.
What this worksheet is for
Auditable policies can begin with estimated payroll, sales or another exposure base. This worksheet calculates the variance in your own records and tracks whether common supporting documents are ready.
Reconcile the exposure base
Use aggregate business totals only. Do not enter employee names, tax IDs, policy numbers or claim details.
Missing documents
No document is currently marked Missing.
Confirm with the auditor
- Payroll register or sales ledger
- Quarterly tax filings / annual wage summary
- General ledger and income statement
- Subcontractor certificates of insurance
- Subcontractor contracts and invoices
- Employee duty and class-code list
- Prior audit worksheet
- Officer / owner inclusion records
How the result is produced
- Variance equals actual exposure minus estimated exposure; variance percentage divides that difference by the estimate.
- Document status is counted from your Ready, Missing, Ask auditor and Not applicable selections.
- No rate, class-code or state rule is applied, so the result is explicitly not a premium estimate.
What it cannot determine
- Final audited premium
- Correct class codes or officer treatment
- State-specific audit rights or deadlines
