Quality Control Review (QCR) Service

Our QCR Service provides insurance companies with a thorough quality control review of their annual and quarterly statutory filings and all supplemental filings for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with their domiciliary state's statutory accounting principles and reporting practices.  The QCR will also address other regulatory issues and concerns that are identified during the review.  In addition, we will provide advisory services on matters related to the preparation and filing of the annual and supplemental filing on issues such as statutory accounting, investment accounting and reporting, and other accounting and reporting issues.

The service will entail a review of your company's Annual and Quarterly Statements, supporting Trial Balance, and other data used to prepare the filing. This will include evaluating general ledger accounting entries, ensuring that statutory accounting has been followed; recommending any adjustments to adhere to statutory accounting and reporting rules prescribed by your domiciliary.

Millennium Consulting will work with your company to determine the degree of analysis needed which includes:

  • Review the Company's most recent Annual and Quarterly Statements; Supplemental Filings, Risk-Based Capital Report and Statutory Audit Report, which includes: 

    • Reviewing supporting Trial Balance and other data used to prepare the filings
