Missouri Auditing Procedures For Applicants For Individual Self Insurance are designed to ensure that self-insurance applicants in the state of Missouri comply with the state’s insurance regulations. This includes applications for individual self-insurance, as well as those for group self-insurance. The procedures are aimed at ensuring that applicants meet the financial responsibility requirements, and that they have the capacity to pay claims in the event of an insurance loss. The procedures include initial review and analysis of an applicant’s financial information, including balance sheets, income statements, and other financial documents. The applicant must also provide a detailed explanation of their business operations, as well as a business plan. Auditors may also request additional information, such as information about any reinsurance agreements. Once the application has been reviewed, auditors typically conduct a financial analysis to assess the applicant’s financial strength and capacity to pay claims. This includes examining the applicant’s capitalization, liquidity, and profitability. Auditors may also review the applicant’s risk management policies and procedures, and the adequacy of their insurance coverage. Finally, auditors may conduct onsite visits to verify the accuracy of the applicant's information and to observe the applicant's operations. Once all the data has been collected and analyzed, auditors will make a recommendation to the state insurance commissioner regarding the applicant's suitability for self-insurance.
