The Hidden Cost of Spreadsheet Bordereaux for MGAs

Many MGAs still prepare bordereaux in Excel. At first, it seems simple. But over time, spreadsheets introduce hidden costs – from staff hours to compliance penalties. Let’s break down the risks.

Error-Prone Process

Copy-pasting data from AMS or carrier portals increases the chance of errors. Even one typo can delay reconciliation or misstate premium.

Compliance Risks

Contracts often require accurate bordereaux on a fixed schedule. Spreadsheets make it easy to miss deadlines or submit non-compliant formats.

Time & Labor Cost

Manual bordereaux can take hours or days every month. That’s time underwriting and ops teams should spend on higher-value work.

The Cost of Missed Revenue

Late or inaccurate bordereaux can delay commission payments, directly impacting cash flow.

Why Automation Wins

• Generating reports directly from live policy data.
• Validating fields automatically.
• Exporting compliant reports on demand.
