“The Quality Management Program (QMP) is unique to PAR and provides a framework for procedures and operations which have led to demonstrated reduction in E&O claims,” explained Joe Rieman, CPCU, Vice President, Quality Management.

“It is an extremely rigorous Program, yet firms know the guiding principles aren’t just ‘pie-in-the-sky’ ideals—they’re based on real life experience and input from the captive founders: Fireman’s Fund, Assurex Global (the world’s largest independent insurance brokerage), and other industry pioneers. The firms which won this year’s PAR Excellence Award understand the value of the Program, and they’re willing to apply themselves to achieve each standard. It’s not easy, but the payoff to the firm is substantial,” explained Rieman.
