The requirements are intended to elicit from insurers a true exhibit of their financial condition and to safeguard the solvency of licensees. The sections give notice as to the manner in which the Commissioner will exercise the discretion set forth in Code Sections 700, 701, 704, 717, 730, 733, 922.2 through 922.85, 923, 924, 925, 925.2, 925.4, 1011, 1011.5, 1215.5(b)(3), 1215.5(f), 1781.10, and Section 12921 of the Code as respects accounting for reinsurance in insurer financial statements, acceptable reinsurance arrangements, and regulatory oversight. All statutory references are to the California Insurance Code ("Code") unless otherwise stated.
The duties and the discretion of the Insurance Commissioner conferred by statute to ensure proper accounting for reinsurance and oversight of reinsurance arrangements are not exhausted by these regulations.
