Also known as D&O insurance, director’s and officer’s liability insurance provides liability for individuals who oversee an organization. This policy is intended to protect these individuals from allegations of negligence or negligent acts during the course of running the business or not-for-profit enterprise. As the individuals insured are often considered accountable for the actions or inactions of the organizations that they are overseeing, D & O insurance is often considered an integral part of an effective risk management program.
