D&O Policy limits are typically far higher and again with more comprehensive coverages than E&O. This is a major difference between the two policies, truly realized unfortunately, when a suit is brought against the agent.3.

The controversy of contingent commissions is not a new one. This debate has caused significant changes to our views of broker payments, disclosure, ethics, and loyalty. The central question started off as being one about disclosure. Theoretically, if the client is aware then there isn't an issue. If this article is any indication, the debate is far from over.
