Generally AICOW is not impacted by under insurance clauses (please check the PDS)

GENERAL NOTES
Most policies carry an exclusion for the first 2 days of disruption or the disruption must exceed 2 days to claim
Policies may by default cover the above items but will be limited to a percentage of the sum insured for loss of gross income
If your business is heavily reliant on the item slisted above we recommend nominating an amount greater than 20% of the sum insured. For example some roads post disaster have not been repaired and alternative routes have added hours and increased freight costs
