Introduction
Every professional takes great pride in his work and strives to do his best but accidents are unexpected. An inadvertanterror in professional services may cause severe financial impact.
Professional Indemnity Insurance is meant to cushion the impact of such losses by providing protection to the professional.

The Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA) has appointed Marsh Insurance Brokers (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd as the insurance broker and consultant with regards to the MIA Professional Indemnity Insurance Scheme (PII) with effect from 1st July 2005. The PII Scheme is underwritten by Chubb Insurance Malaysia Berhad (formerly known as ACE Jerneh Insurance Berhad).
