Managing agent bonds and fidelity bonds are a form of insurance for the theft or misappropriation of funds. This type of insurance is not required by law in Washington or Oregon but is required by some governing documents. It is advisable for large associations to obtain this type of insurance unless their funds are handled by a professional manager who already has adequate bonding or coverage.
