In the insurance industry, maintaining an accurate statement of values (SOV) is essential for brokers to ensure proper risk assessment, policy pricing, and smooth claims management. An SOV details the value of insured assets, including buildings, contents, and potential business interruption. Without accurate data, brokers face the risk of underinsurance, mispricing policies, and complicated claims processes.

Accurate SOVs directly impact risk assessments by providing underwriters with a clear picture of the insured assets, helping them set appropriate coverage limits. Additionally, accurate data enables brokers to offer competitive policy pricing, which builds trust and ensures clients are neither overinsured nor underinsured.

However, keeping SOVs up to date comes with challenges, such as managing data discrepancies, time-consuming manual updates, and dealing with incomplete or outdated information. These challenges can slow down broker operations and lead to inefficiencies.
