What does professional liability insurance for treasury professionals cover?
Professional liability insurance is designed to protect treasury professionals if a client claims that your services or advice led to negative outcomes. Allegations could involve errors in forecasting, inaccurate reporting, missed regulatory requirements, or oversight in managing cash flow and risk.
If you are named in a claim, your policy can help cover legal defence costs, as well as settlements or judgments, up to your policy limit. For treasury professionals, who often manage large sums of money, this coverage is an essential safeguard.
How much professional liability coverage do treasury professionals need?
Treasury professionals make decisions that affect an organization’s overall financial stability. Even if a claim has no merit, the cost to defend yourself can be high. That is why choosing the right coverage limit matters. EasyCover by Acera Insurance offers three levels to match your needs:
- $1 million
- $2 million
- $5 million
These limits represent the maximum payout for all claims made within a 12-month policy period. Your coverage should align with the nature of your role, the complexity of the financial responsibilities you manage, and the potential consequences of an error. This could include compliance oversights, reporting inaccuracies, or mismanaged financial strategies.
Each covered claim includes a deductible, typically between $250 and $1,500 depending on your annual revenue. For example, if your deductible is $500 and you experience two covered claims in a year, you would pay $1,000 total before your insurance covers the remaining eligible costs.

Examples of E&O Claims for Treasury Professionals
Incorrect Cash Forecasting
A treasury professional provides a cash flow forecast that significantly underestimates liquidity needs. As a result, the company fails to secure financing in time and faces penalties, higher interest charges, or even a credit downgrade. The company holds the treasury professional liable for the financial repercussions.
Investment Policy Breach
A treasury manager places short-term investments in instruments outside the client’s or company’s stated investment policy (e.g., exceeding concentration limits). When those investments lose value, stakeholders allege negligence and pursue a claim.
System or Reporting Error
A treasury professional inputs incorrect data into a treasury management system, producing faulty reports. Management relies on those reports to make financial decisions, leading to losses. The professional could be held liable for negligence, triggering a claim under their errors and omissions policy.

Risk management strategies for treasury professionals
Risk management solutions are essential for treasury professionals, but proactive strategies are the best way to safeguard financial operations, strengthen stakeholder confidence, and reduce exposure to costly errors or disputes.
Set Clear Expectations
Define your responsibilities with clients or stakeholders from the start. Clarify what your analysis will cover, what it will not, expected timelines, and any limitations or assumptions. This helps prevent disputes if outcomes differ from expectations.
Maintain Accurate Records
Keep detailed records of forecasts, reports, calculations, and communications. Well-documented work not only adds c
Adhere to Standards and Regulations
Follow accounting principles, regulatory requirements, and ethical guidelines in all financial activities. Using reliable data, consistent methodologies, and current best practices reduces the risk of errors that could lead to claims.
Strengthen Internal Controls
Implement checks and balances such as segregation of duties, approval processes, and regular audits. Strong internal controls help prevent errors, fraud, or oversights that could expose you to liability.
