Redefining Standards in Premium Audit Training

Matt Hickman, Director Business Development

January 29th 2025

We are driven by a simple philosophy: delivering more than is expected. This commitment to excellence is at the core of everything we do, from creating clear, actionable reports to fostering strong, trust-filled relationships with our clients. 

Our services are built on a foundation of innovation, client focus, and an unwavering dedication to raising the bar. The Davies Difference isn’t just about what we do—it’s about how we do it. By combining advanced technology with a client-first mindset, we simplify complex processes and empower clients to make informed decisions. 

One of the keys to our success is our investment in people. We understand that premium auditing isn’t just about compliance or numbers; it’s about the people who make it all happen. Our auditors are the cornerstone of our service, trained to deliver quality in every interaction. 

Two pillars that define our approach are proactive engagement and how our training program sets our auditors apart. Through these pillars, we ensure clients experience exceptional service and results. 

A Training Program That Sets Us Apart 

Our rigorous training program transforms individuals without prior auditing experience into industry-leading professionals. Our program doesn’t just equip auditors with technical skills; it’s a holistic approach designed to ensure they meet and exceed client expectations in both standardized and specialized scenarios. 

Beyond technical excellence, partnering with Davies offers significant advantages over maintaining an in-house audit team. Our dedicated external auditors provide specialized expertise, scalability, and cost efficiency that internal teams often struggle to match. With Davies, clients gain access to a broader industry perspective, staying ahead of compliance updates and emerging trends without the overhead costs of in-house staffing and training. 

Comprehensive & Holistic Training 

Our immersive training program is carefully designed to provide auditors with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to handle all types of audits; that include: 

  • Online modules, designed to provide foundational knowledge and technical skills. 
  • Hands-on mentorship, where each new auditor is paired with a regional developer who provides guidance from day one. 
  • A structured curriculum, consisting of an extensive series covering specialized topics including workers’ compensation, general liability, manual rules, and payroll reports.  

Through this blend of self-guided learning and personalized support, our auditors gain a deep understanding of the complexities of premium auditing, allowing them to deliver superior results. 

Specialized Expertise 

Davies-trained auditors excel in: 

  • Interpreting and analyzing complex payroll reports to ensure accurate and comprehensive audits.  
  • Adhering to the latest regulatory changes and industry standards to guarantee compliance and precision in every audit.  
  • Mastering the intricacies of Workers’ Compensation and General Liability rules and classifications to calculate premiums with unmatched accuracy. 

Auditors also participate in continuous professional development through weekly webinars and advanced workshops, ensuring they remain trusted experts in a rapidly changing field. 

Technical skills are only part of the equation. We emphasize the importance of interpersonal skills while working with policyholders and agents to deliver a seamless experience. Whether they’re addressing routine audits or tackling specialized challenges, our auditors consistently exceed expectations. 

Meeting Client Needs, Every Time 

 Our clients have diverse needs, from routine audits to special requests. Understanding this we prepare our auditors to tackle a wide range of audit challenges. By leveraging our expertise and experience, we deliver tailored solutions that drive results.   

Clients trust Davies as their premium auditing partner because we don’t just meet expectations—we redefine them.
