Can the committee be held accountable for providing an untrue report for insurance renewal? What can owners do to prevent this from happening?

Make sure the committee is not coming up with that figure themselves.

The most important thing here is to ensure the committee is not coming up with that figure themselves. The committee could be liable if they've come up with that figure themselves.

It's important to engage an independent professional to come up with that figure. Also, ensuring the professional has suitable professional indemnity insurance is important. That way, even if their assessment comes up and you are underinsured, at least you are covered by that professional indemnity insurance in the worst case scenario.
