Insurance companies are statutorily required to undergo comprehensive financial examinations every five years. Financial examiners from the Division of Insurance provide on-site accounting and auditing of the financial conditions of companies. Upon completing an exam, a report is issued.
The Market Conduct Unit performs examinations and market analysis reviews of insurance carriers to ensure the fair treatment of policyholders. These reviews often involve several states and result in fines or consumer restitution.
