Who we are<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The VSW \u2013 The Insurance Pool for Accountants offers insurance coverage for their professional activities in Germany as well as internationally active auditors and tax advisors.

VSW specialises exclusively in the professional liability insurance of auditors and tax advisors and has thus built up expertise over decades. We are the only provider with such a specialised, international expertise and see ourselves as a partner to the entire profession of auditors, as well as our policyholders, in Europe.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n

Our organisational structure<\/h3>

Owing to our special organisational structure as an insurance pool comprising three of the most important insurance companies, we enjoy outstanding economic solidity. At the same time, we combine the advantages of a small and professionally independent organisation. We offer our insured auditors and tax advisors the highest degree of trust and individual services based on a genuine and active partnership, and organisational culture.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t

\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\n\t

Our close relationship with the auditing and tax consulting profession<\/h3>

Since the establishment of our organisation, the auditing and tax consulting professions have been represented on our committees. This method, which is firmly anchored in our institution, is used to facilitate a professional exchange between auditors, tax advisors and us in order to promote mutual understanding.

Our service<\/h3>

Our task is to contractually design the individual insurance coverage of the auditors and tax advisors insured with us and to advise them on liability and coverage on an ongoing basis. In the event of a claim, we stand by our policyholders by settling justified claims for damages and dismissing unjustified claims in order to protect the reputation of the auditors and tax consultants insured with us.<\/p>Our service offer<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t

Our values in particular are as follows<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n\n
\n \n

Expertise<\/h3>\n \n

We are a competence centre in our industry and an important contact for the auditing profession. Due to our experience and specialisation we offer a maximum of professional expertise for the insurance coverage suitable for individuals and the liability of the auditors – including in the international context.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n\n

\n \n

It’s about you<\/h3>\n \n

Through an expressly cooperative attitude towards the auditors insured with us and excellent service quality, we strive to achieve their fullest satisfaction. Providing personal care and the best possible support are our primary concern. A distinctive customer understanding enables us to offer individual insurance solutions.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n\n

\n \n

Specialisation<\/h3>\n \n


We are the specialist in the field of professional liability insurance for auditors. This specialisation reflects the concentrated professional expertise of our employees.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n\n

\n \n

Pragmatism<\/h3>\n \n

We approach auditors and our business partners insured with us in a respectable and discreet but unpretentious manner, and always act in a solution-oriented, flexible and cooperative capacity. We pursue our tasks with the necessary objectivity, but we are also passionate about what we do.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n\n

\n \n

Tradition<\/h3>\n \n


As the first and thus the longest-established provider in the industry in Germany, we can look back on a history rich in tradition, which makes us committed to value-oriented action in every respect.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n\n

\n \n

Security<\/h3>\n \n

Due to the strong underlying insurance companies, we are financially well-funded and efficient. Nevertheless, we remain professionally independent and are not subject to any economic conflicts of interest. Our reputability, reliability and trustworthiness as well as absolute discretion provide our customers with additional security.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\t

For decades, the \u201cVersicherergemeinschaft f\u00fcr das wirtschaftliche Pr\u00fcfungs- und Treuhandwesen\u201d had been known as a specialised provider of professional liability insurance under the name \u201cVersicherungsstelle Wiesbaden\u201d. At the beginning of 2018, the traditional brand was transformed into \u201cVSW \u2013 The Insurance Pool for Accountants\u201d and given a new look. This does not change any of the proven benefits for existing insurance relationships with the customers. Nevertheless, the external change is not only cosmetic in nature: it symbolizes the internal changes of recent years and the future-oriented position of the insurance pool.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t

\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\n\t

The change to the name has no effect on the existing insurance coverage under the previous name \u201cVersicherergemeinschaft f\u00fcr das wirtschaftliche Pr\u00fcfungs- und Treuhandwesen\u201d (Versicherungsstelle Wiesbaden) \u2013 therefore no new insurance policies are required. The contracting parties to the insurance contracts are \u2013 as previously \u2013 the insurers Allianz Versicherungs-AG (42%), AXA Versicherung AG (34%) and ERGO Versicherung AG (24%). Nothing has changed in this shareholding.

There are various reasons for modifying the brand name and the visual appearance. Organisational culture has changed in the recent past, but has still adhered to the values that have evolved over time. Neither this modernisation nor the pronounced awareness of values and tradition with its approximately 80-year-old roots were adequately expressed in the appearance that has existed for decades. The simple and pragmatic abbreviation VSW takes account, among other things, of the internationalisation of the business field and digitisation. The existing name also proved to be too unwieldy in Germany, partly misunderstood because of the local reference and considered to be outdated overall.

The strong insurance pool emerged from the first initiatives in the 1930s to establish professional liability insurance for the still young profession of auditors. With its distinctive and constantly growing expertise, VSW remains a unique specialist insurer of professional liability insurance for auditors and tax advisors to this day.
