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.
