Trust account management is non-negotiable in insurance. But,what if you get it wrong? Most insurance brokers face RIBO penalties. But, ifyou get it right? You would sleep better at night.
BRUTAL TRUTH #1: THE SEPARATION STRUGGLE
Most brokers mix trust and operating funds accidentally. Not because they want to. Because manual processes fail them. When you're handling hundreds of transactions weekly, manual sorting becomes a game of chance. One misplaced entry can trigger a compliance nightmare.
Common Separation Failures:
• Premium payments incorrectly routed
• Commission transfers poorly timed
• Operating expenses hitting trust accounts
• Reconciliation delays causing confusion
BRUTAL TRUTH #2: THE TIME TRAP
Still reconciling trust accounts manually? You're burning 100+ hours annually on something that could be automated. That's nearly half a months of productive time lost to:
• Daily transaction sorting
• Weekly reconciliation attempts
• Monthly compliance checks
• Quarterly audit preparation
• Year-end cleanup headaches
BRUTAL TRUTH #3: THE COMPLIANCE RISK
One misplaced transaction. That's all it takesto trigger a RIBO audit. The stakes are high:
• Regulatory penalties
• License risks
• Reputation damage
