Auditors

We have eleven dedicated, experienced claim auditors and twenty underwriters on staff who only perform reviews on behalf of Altair. All of these professionals have more than thirty-five years insurance and reinsurance experience in their discipline. Most of Altair’s Senior Analysts have been with Altair for years and all are eager to share the benefit of their knowledge and many years of experience. Although most seasoned industry veterans are generalists in the United States, Altair has chosen its auditors to present the best cross section of lines of business and industry or risk exposure, while exhibiting certain expertise.

Altair's auditing territory includes all of North American (USA and Canada) as well as the Caribbean.

 

Altair routinely completes coverholder audits on behalf of Lloyd’s syndicates utilizing the proper experienced person to suit the Coverholder subject line of business and the client’s audit scope. Altair has developed a reasonable approach to satisfying the resource and pricing challenges of the Lloyd's coordinated audit process, while providing equitable pricing advantages to the entire market. Altair's pricing scale provides a commitment of adequate resources to satisfy the demands of special instructions and multiple clients for coordinated audits. 


Altair has always employed the most experienced professionals with specific expertise and discipline to satisfy the client's goals and objectives. We have just the right person for the job, or we decline the assignment.
