Accounting Records; Inspection
(1)
An insurance producer shall establish and maintain records and an appropriate accounting system for all premium funds received by the insurance producer as provided in this rule.(2)
Unless otherwise authorized by the Director, an insurance producer shall establish and maintain the records and accounting system in this state. An insurance producer may establish the records and system in another state if the Director gives written permission to the insurance producer to do so. In applying for permission, the insurance producer must give written justification for keeping the records and system outside this state.(3)
An insurance producer shall make the records available in this state for inspection by the Director during regular business hours upon demand.(4)
An insurance producer shall make the records available with respect to any premium funds received for a period of three years following the date of the policy expiration.(5)
An insurance producer may use any accounting system that effectively isolates each trust account from any operating accounts. A recordkeeping system, whether electronic or manual, must provide an audit trail so that details underlying the summary data, such as invoices, checks and statements, may be identified and made available on request. The system must provide the means of tracing any transaction back to its original source or forwarded to final entry such as is accomplished by a conventional double-entry bookkeeping system. When an automatic data processing system is used, the insurance producer shall make a description of the system available for review by the Director.
