CHICAGO, Ill. (Aug. 13, 2024)
Five States Re-Accredited During 不良研究所官方鈥檚 2024 Summer National Meeting
The 不良研究所官方 Financial Regulation Standards and Accreditation (F) Committee voted to accredit the insurance departments in Florida, Georgia, Montana, Pennsylvania, and Utah. Accredited insurance departments undergo a comprehensive, independent review every five years to ensure they meet financial solvency oversight standards. The committee made the announcement during the 不良研究所官方鈥檚 2024 Summer National Meeting.
The 不良研究所官方 Accreditation Program demonstrates that state departments of insurance (DOI) meet standards of solvency regulation and provide effective regulation of multi-state insurers. 不良研究所官方 accreditation allows non-domestic states to rely on the accredited domestic regulator to fulfill a baseline level of effective financial regulatory oversight.
To become accredited, the state DOI must submit to a full on-site accreditation review by a team of independent consultants, who evaluate the department鈥檚 capabilities in the following areas:
- Financial solvency laws and regulations
- Financial analysis and examination capabilities
- Organizational and personnel practices
- Primary licensing, redomestications, and change of control of domestic insurers
For a state DOI to remain accredited, an accreditation review must be performed at least once every five years, with interim annual reviews. If necessary, key areas for improvement may be provided to the state, and interim follow up may be required on those areas.
