Why is the COI Process So Important?

COI’s are extremely important to your organization, by Limiting your Insurance Risk!
Caution: If you have expired certificates on hand, you could open your company to liability from damages caused by the vendor. For vendors you only use occasionally, call the insurance company listed on the certificate to verify that the insurance is still valid. Even if your certificate has not expired, the vendor may have failed to pay its insurance or changed companies without supplying a new certificate of insurance for your files.
