Authorised underwriter

What is an authorised underwriter?

An authorised underwriter is an insurance intermediary who, acting on behalf of one or more insurance companies, has the authority to accept the coverage of risks in the name and on behalf of such insurance companies and to underwrite and manage insurance agreements. 

Accordingly, the authorised underwriter's main task is to determine the nature and size of the risk that is to be insured and to determine the insurance premium that must be paid.
