Department Areas Risk Assessment (Continued) Financial Condition Examination Unit The Financial Condition Examination Unit conducts on-site financial examinations of insurance companies that are domiciled in Ohio. Ohio law requires a financial examination be conducted on licensed companies at least once every five years. However, the Financial Condition Examination Unit’s risk based analysis determines the frequency of examinations based on an insurer’s performance and risk management practices. This analysis allows the Department to focus its resources on those companies with the highest degree of regulatory concern. Foreign and Alien Company Analysis Unit The Foreign and Alien Company Analysis Unit is responsible for determining and implementing the appropriate regulatory course of action for companies with weak performance, inadequate risk management practices, and a higher degree of regulatory concern. The professionals in this unit facilitate communications with certain internal and external stakeholders about regulatory actions taken or planned, including requiring a corrective action plan from companies with a higher risk of failure and monitoring the board’s and senior management’s implementation of the corrective actions. Licensing and Administration Unit The Licensing and Administration Unit has varying responsibilities including surveillance technology and automation enhancements, fiscal support and company licensing. Market Conduct Unit The Market Conduct Unit monitors insurers’ compliance with Ohio insurance laws and regulations by examining companies’ business practices, such as underwriting, marketing and claims handling. The professionals in this unit are responsible for gathering industry information from a variety of sources, including consumer complaints, company filings, National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) databases, and analyzing that information to determine which companies need further scrutiny to determine their compliance with Ohio law. 12 www.insurance.ohio.gov
