RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
69O-137.001: Annual and Quarterly Reporting Requirements
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: This rule is being amended to adopt the 2011 NAIC Quarterly Statement Instructions and also adopts the 2011 NAIC accounting practices and procedures manual.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: Section 624.424, Florida Statutes, requires insurers to file quarterly and annual financial reports with the Office of Insurance Regulation and allows the Office to enact rules setting the standards for those reports. By adopting the current versions of these NAIC instructions and manuals, the Office is establishing up-to-date, uniform standards for annual and quarterly reports which will provide the information necessary for the Office to evaluate insurers’ financial conditions. In addition, by adopting the 2011 versions of the manuals, the Office is preventing any potential challenges from insurers who may protest the Office using manuals which have not been formally adopted.
