Did you know that there are no exemptions for small companies or fraternal insurers under the new NAIC Corporate Governance Models?

The NAIC has made an affirmative decision not to exempt small companies or fraternal insurers from any of these new corporate governance requirements.   Here are some highlights of the changes:

  • The Board as a whole needs to possess all of what the NAIC calls “core competencies” of accounting or finance, business judgment, industry knowledge, management, leadership, vision and strategy.

  • Regulators will be looking for Corporate Governance Guidelines that document established key governance principles.

  • Regulators want to understand the frequency at which information on each critical risk area is reported to and reviewed by senior management and the Board.

First Consulting’s new Corporate Governance Tool Kit provides you with a budget-friendly solution for compliance readiness with these new requirements.

Your Company faces daily unique regulatory and compliance challenges. Don’t face them alone with only in-house staff or give-up control to cookie-cutter outsourcing.
 
First Consulting & Administration, Inc. is the creative answer to state insurance regulatory and compliance requirements.

Co-Sourcing with First Consulting allows compliance professionals to:

  • Maximize their efforts by delegating specific sub-parts of the total function while maintaining control of all projects.
  • Improve quality by functioning as the “reviewer” and not the “doer”.
  • Learn as the work progresses. Knowledge does not remain solely with an outside consultant, as it may when work is outsourced.
  • Resolve the in-house staffing level dilemma. With First Consulting available to assist with peak workloads, organizations do not need to choose between staffing for such situations and missing opportunities because of regulatory or compliance backlogs.
