The adjuster's investigation is limited to which description?

• A. A simple verification of bills and estimates
• B. A full forensic audit of insured finances
• C. Filed criminal charges against the insured
• D. Determining policy premiums

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that an adjuster's investigation focuses on confirming the losses by checking the supporting documentation. In routine claims handling, the adjuster primarily verifies the bills and estimates to ensure they are reasonable and properly supported by evidence. A full forensic audit of insured finances goes beyond what is typically needed in adjusting a claim and would be reserved for suspected fraud or highly complex situations. Filing criminal charges is a matter for law enforcement, not the adjuster, and determining policy premiums is handled by underwriting, not adjusting a claim. So verifying the submitted bills and estimates best describes the typical investigative scope.
