7. ACCOUNTING



                       As in any other organization, the accountants in an



                       insurance company keep records of the income




                       and expenses. They keep track of the income from



                       premiums and investments as also the expenses for



                       running the office, agents' commission, claim



                       payments, etc. They prepare the reports and




                       statements which show the financial position of



                       the company. The policy holders, shareholders,



                       and insurance regulators can get to know the



                       financial status of the insurance company from



                       these reports.
