When you're sick, you go to a medical doctor. A CPA is the person you go to when you need to get your finances in order. A Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter, or CPCU, is the right person to help you understand and buy insurance for your car or home.
A CPCU is your professional insurance partner in the same way that these other professionals work with you as partners. People in the property and casualty insurance industry see CPCU as the top professional designation. When you choose a CPCU, you can be sure that you are working with someone who has a lot of experience and can help you with all of your insurance decisions. A CPCU must also agree to a code of ethics that can be enforced and promise to put your needs before their own.
Simply put, CPCUs want to help people make better decisions about insurance, and they have the skills to do so. CPCUs must pass courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. These courses cover a wide range of topics, such as insurance law, ethics, accounting, and management. When you choose a CPCU for your insurance needs, you can be sure that you are choosing someone who not only has your best interests in mind but also has the background and knowledge to back it up.
Many CPCUs are also members of the CPCU Society, which is a group of professionals that gives CPCUs chances to keep learning and improve their careers. These chances make sure that CPCUs know about the latest issues in their field and can tell their customers about them.
The CPCU Society was started in 1944 with the goal of helping professionals who have earned the CPCU designation grow in their careers so they can help other people in a competent and ethical way. Around the world, there are 26,000 people who are part of the CPCU Society and help other people make good insurance decisions.
