Q: How will the revenue synergies from Assured Partners be accounted for in terms of organic revenue growth? A: Douglas Howell, CFO, explained that revenue synergies from Assured Partners will be credited to their P&L. If there are broader base contingent commissions or supplementals impacting Gallagher’s books, it would be included in Gallagher’s organic growth. Thus, some synergies might understate organic revenues for Gallagher.
