Which of the following is NOT a role of field underwriting?

Field underwriting is primarily focused on assessing the risk presented by an insurance applicant and ensuring that the process aligns with the insurer’s standards. Among the various roles involved, providing disclosure information to the applicant is crucial for transparency and compliance, helping the applicant understand the terms and conditions of the insurance. Collecting the initial premium is also an integral part of the process, as it establishes the commitment of the applicant to the policy and allows the insurer to begin providing coverage.

Policy delivery is a significant function of the underwriting process as it finalizes the transaction and ensures that the policyholder receives their policy documents and understands their coverage. Each of these responsibilities contributes to effective underwriting and policy issuance.

In contrast, conducting inspections of the applicant's property is typically not a direct role of field underwriting. While property inspections can be a part of the underwriting process, they are usually handled by specialized underwriters or third-party inspection services who assess risks related to the physical property. Therefore, this activity does not fit within the typical tasks performed in field underwriting by agents or brokers, making it the correct answer to identify as not a role of field underwriting.
