Arizona
Sponsorship of the CAMICO Program by the Arizona Society of CPAs
After conducting an extensive due diligence process, in February 1999, the Arizona Society of CPAs voted to sponsor CAMICO Mutual Insurance Company as the exclusive provider of professional liability insurance and risk management services.
One of the key factors in choosing CAMICO as the sponsored professional liability insurance carrier was the company's focus on the CPA profession. CAMICO's extensive practice and risk management services not only provide valuable support to policyholders but also benefit members of the ASCPA who are not policyholders.
For example, in response to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act: Disclosure of Nonpublic Personal Information, CAMICO provided a decision chart and sample privacy notices to the ASCPA for release to its members in public practice. CAMICO is also a supporter of ASCPA member programs, such as the annual awards luncheon.

California
Endorsement of the CAMICO Program by the California Society of CPAs
The California Society of CPAs was instrumental in forming the company now known as CAMICO Mutual Insurance Company. In 1986 amid an insurance crisis that left CalCPA members either with premiums spiraling out of control or without professional liability insurance, the Society decided to form its own program dedicated to the CPA profession.
Since its inception in 1986, one of the key factors in the success of the CAMICO program in California has been the company's focus on the CPA profession. CAMICO now insures approximately two-thirds of the CPA firms that have professional liability coverage in California.
CAMICO's extensive practice and risk management services not only provide valuable support to policyholders but also benefit all members of the CalCPA who are not policyholders.
For example, in response to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act: Disclosure of Nonpublic Personal Information, CAMICO provided a decision chart and sample privacy notices to the CalCPA for release to its members in public practice. CAMICO continues to be a strong supporter of CalCPA member programs, such as chapter events supporting scholarships for accounting students and the annual meeting.
