REDWOOD CITY, Calif. & BOSTON--(Business Wire)--
CAMICO Mutual Insurance Company, the nation`s largest CPA-owned carrier of
professional liability insurance, and Liberty International Underwriters (LIU),
a division of Liberty Mutual Group, have forged a new program to service CPA
firms nationally. 

The new program will strengthen and expand CAMICO`s capacity for providing
coverage and risk management services, especially to larger CPA firms. The new
program`s policy wordings will match existing CAMICO policy forms, and firms
will have direct access to the comprehensive range of CAMICO`s advisory, loss
prevention, and claims services and resources. 

The CAMICO-LIU program will be administered through CAMICO`s wholly owned
subsidiary, CAMICO Insurance Services (CIS). The new program will focus
primarily on policies with limits of $3 million and higher and will be
underwritten by LIU using Liberty Mutual Group companies that are rated "A"
(Excellent) by A.M. Best Co. 

"CAMICO`s strong market position and specialized expertise in the accounting
profession, with LIU`s capacity, will provide a superior program to our
policyholder firms," said Ric Rosario, CPA, CAMICO CEO. "The new program enables
all of our policyholders to continue receiving the services they`ve come to rely
on for their day-to-day practice needs." 

The CAMICO-LIU program will help protect firms against malpractice claims and
damages from errors committed while providing professional services. 

"This program gives CPA policyholders the strength of two insurance industry
leaders in one policy," said Bruce Eisler, senior vice president of professional
liability for LIU. "By combining CAMICO's demonstrated expertise in accountants'
liability with Liberty Mutual Group`s financial strength and LIU`s significant
experience in professional liability insurance, we will bring the high level of
underwriting, claims management and risk management service CPA firms expect
from an insurer."
