The Model Audit Rule: Diagnosing your program's reliability, resources and reengineering processes

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (NAIC) Annual Financial Reporting Model Regulation #205, commonly known as the Model Audit Rule (MAR), has been around for more than a decade, yet insurers of all sizes struggle to develop a sustainable and cost effective MAR program. While certain elements of MAR have been implemented by insurers with minimum difficulty, creating and maintaining a cost effective and efficient program that supports management’s attestation regarding internal controls (i.e., financial reporting) proves to be a challenge for many organizations.

This on-demand webinar explores common misconceptions of the MAR requirements. The presentation also discusses current trends, best practices and suggestions to improve your organization’s MAR program.
