The Department is contracting for a Corporate Structure Specialist or firm for a one-year Target Examination to help it fully understand the corporate structure of a domestic insurer that was recently purchased by a private equity firm. The complex corporate structure may lead to unidentified/unreported related party transactions that for regulatory purposes need to be identified/reported as they can affect the resulting Risk Based Capital (RBC) ratio. RBC is a key metric used for monitoring solvency of insurers in the US. The complex corporate structure also makes it difficult in determining the ultimate controlling person/entity which again is key for regulatory purposes. There are numerous investments reported within the domestic insurer's financial statements that could possibly be unidentified/unreported affiliated investments. Without fully understanding the corporate structure it is impossible to determine if these investments are being reported correctly. Fully understanding the corporate structure will also allow the DOI to determine if other agreements/transactions the insurers has entered into are being conducted at arms-length and are being charged fair and reasonable terms not detrimental to the insurer. Additional examination duties could include a review of the regulated entity’s operations related to financial stability and solvency. The Vendor will prepare a detailed examination report, which includes a summary of the Vendor’s findings for each entity examined. The Vendor shall submit to the Department any and all records, reports, documents, exhibits, data, and other material related to the examination. The examination report must meet the minimum requirements set by the Department of Insurance in regard to content, thoroughness, and format. The Vendor duties also may include testifying in formal proceedings that result from examinations and traveling to the Department as necessary.
