Write short notes on the following: Checklist for Compliance of Terms of Insurance in Due Diligence for Banks

Answer & Explanation:

In due diligence for banks, ensuring compliance with insurance terms is critical, especially when the bank has provided financing. A checklist for this would include verifying the following: Comprehensive Insurance: The company's assets (e.g., plant and buildings) have been insured comprehensively. If joint insurance is taken, verify that the value has been apportioned as prescribed/approved. Joint Names Policy: The insurance policy has been taken in the joint names of the company and the bank(s)/financial institution(s). Policy Validity and Premiums: The policy has been kept alive for its full value (as determined by the bank(s)/financial institution(s)), all premiums are paid on time, and the company has not committed any act that would render the policy void or voidable. Reputable Insurer: The policy has been taken from an insurance office of repute, as determined by the bank(s)/financial institution(s). Trust for Insurance Proceeds: All moneys received under the insurance policies are held in trust for better securing to the bank(s)/financial institution(s) the payment of all moneys secured under the indenture agreement.
