How he writes about PI insurance
The reference articles on this site that carry the "Reviewed by Matthew Bartlett, Director" attribution have been read end-to-end by him before publication. Where regulatory rules are cited, the citation is checked against the live FCA Handbook, SRA Handbook, ARB rules, RICS bye-laws, ICAEW regulations, or the relevant primary source. The aim is plain English, accurate enough to act on, and honest about what is uncertain.
