Professional Indemnity Insurance and Regulatory Compliance Checklist

About this document

What it’s for

A practice-wide checklist the principals complete each year, usually before PII renewal and the professional body annual return, to confirm that the firm has the right insurance and holds every registration and authorisation it needs, and that its core compliance procedures are in place.

When to use it

  • Before each PII renewal
  • Before completing your professional body annual return or licence renewal
  • When starting a practice, adding a service or changing structure

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  • Firm details
  • Section A – Professional indemnity insurance: minimum cover
  • Section B – PII policy terms
  • Section C – Other insurance
  • Section D – Registrations and authorisations
  • Section E – Professional body requirements
  • Section F – Core compliance procedures
  • Section G – Action plan

How to complete it

  • Fill in the firm details and the PII calculation in Section A
  • Work through each section, recording evidence and gaps
  • Transfer gaps to the action plan in Section G
  • Have the compliance principal sign it off and keep it on the practice file

Key points to check

  • Minimum PII limits and excess rules differ between bodies and were changed recently
  • New HMRC tax adviser registration requirements apply from 2026

Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
