APA's standard audit procedure is to supply our customer with an accurate
audit within a mutually agreed upon time service standard. Our dedicated
staff will ensure proper classification of all exposures through a technical
analysis which determines proper separation and allocation of payroll.
This process will be completed through direct interviews, review of all
appropriate documentation, reconciliation and final verification.
Audit scheduling is completed by sending notice of the appointment to the
insured and a follow-up phone call will be made prior to the appointment.
All unsuccessful attempts will be documented and progress reports will
be sent out. Two attempts with the insured and one attempt with the
agent will be conducted prior to returning an audit as non-productive.
APA's quality control program consists of a complete review of the audit
for completeness and accuracy by a qualified audit reviewer. Each
auditor is required to maintain an error ratio of less than three percent
(3%) and meet all other standards of quality.
Premium audit services will be conducted in a professional manner following
the established rules, procedures and regulations of the National Council
of Compensation Insurance and other local, regional and national regulatory
agencies. APA will actively seek out risks with any potential
for premium audit fraud and any such cases will be well documented and
immediately reported.
The above procedures may be customized to suit the unique needs of
our customers.

We have specifically designed this process to meet the needs of our customers
that are looking to work with one vendor. APA is able to provide this coverage
through a unique network of other insurance service providers who share the same
quality and professional standards. APA uses only providers who have been tested
and meet the challenge of APA's quality control and time service procedures.
APA is able to make this a seamless process for the carrier. The carrier sends all
audit requests to APA. APA then assigns and tracks all audits to outside field
auditors and providers. In turn, all audits are sent back to APA for quality review.
APA covers all expenses required to complete audits and invoices the carrier at APA's
agreed upon rate.
Upon request, APA will provide the carrier with the names of all providers utilized
by APA for carrier approval.
