Subcontractor Provides False Certificate of Insurance

Criminal charges have been filed against the owner of a Florida staffing company for allegedly presenting false Certificates of Insurance to one of our customers. ICW Group’s standard review of the Certificates of Insurance produced by a staffing company that our customer was subcontracting with revealed what appeared to be altered and/or forged workers’ compensation documentation. Further investigation found that this staffing company may have been uninsured for some time.

ICW Group’s Special Investigations Unit, in collaboration with our Premium Audit Department, referred the case to law enforcement. After completing their investigative review, this staffing company owner was charged by the State Attorney’s Office with Forgery and Uttering a Forged Instrument. This subcontractor will be given the chance to plead his case to a court.

Kudos to the sharp eyes of ICW Group’s Premium Audit Department in defending our customer from this staffing company’s apparent attempt to prioritize profits over the peace of mind necessary for a successful subcontractor relationship.
