- Are Exams done by own employees or by contract?
- Yes
- What is the examination cycle by type of captive?
- Risk retention groups receive an examination by the NCDOI no less than every 5 years. Other captive insurers are not subject to an NCDOI examination schedule; instead, the NCDOI relies on the annual audit reports completed by independent CPAs. For non-RRG captive insurers, the NCDOI's examination resources are utilized on a target basis to address captive insurer issues that can not be resolved through other means.
