OAR 836-011-0220
Definition, Availability and Maintenance of Independent Certified Public Accountants Workpapers

(1)

For the purpose of this rule, workpapers are the records kept by an independent certified public accountant of the procedures followed, the tests performed, the information obtained and the conclusions reached pertinent to the accountant’s audit of the financial statements of an insurer. Accordingly, workpapers may include audit planning documentation, work programs, analyses, memoranda, letters of confirmation and representation, abstracts of company documents and schedules or commentaries prepared or obtained by the independent certified public accountant in the course of the accountant’s audit of the financial statements of an insurer and which support the accountant’s opinion.

(2)

An insurer that is required to file an audited financial report pursuant to OAR 836-011-0100 (Authority; Purpose; Scope) to 836-011-0230 (Canadian and British Companies) shall require the accountant to make available for review by Department of Consumer and Business Service examiners, all workpapers prepared in the conduct of the accountant’s audit and any communications related to the audit between the accountant and the insurer, at the offices of the insurer, at the Department or at any other reasonable place designated by the Director. The insurer shall require that the accountant retain the audit workpapers and communications until the Department has filed a report on examination covering the period of the audit but no longer than seven years from the date of the audit report.

(3)

In the conduct of a periodic review by the Department examiners, it shall be agreed that photocopies of pertinent audit workpapers may be made and retained by the Department. Any such review by the Department examiners is an investigation and all working papers and communications obtained during the course of such an investigation must be given the same confidentiality as other examination workpapers generated by the Department.
