(2) The financial statement filed by an insurer under subsection (1) of this section shall be verified by the oaths of the president and secretary of the insurer or, in their absence, by two other principal officers. The statement of an alien company shall embrace only its condition and transactions in the United States, unless the director requires otherwise, and shall be verified by the oath of its resident manager or principal representatives in the United States. Facsimile signatures are acceptable and shall have the same force as original signatures.
(3) The director may grant an extension of time for filing the annual statement.
(4) A home protection insurer may adopt a fiscal year other than the calendar year for its financial statements filed with the director under subsection (1) of this section by declaring the fiscal year in its application for a certificate of authority. An adopted fiscal year may not be changed without the consent of the insurance supervisory official of the insurer’s domicile. The financial statement of a home protection insurer on other than the calendar year basis shall be filed with the director on or before the first day of the third month which follows the end of the fiscal year.
(5) An insurer, subject to requirements set forth in rules made by the director, may publish financial statements, or information based on financial statements, prepared on a basis that is in accordance with requirements of a competent authority and differs from the basis of the statements required to be filed with the director.
(6) It is the intention of the Legislative Assembly that the director consider and follow the accounting, reporting and other standards, practices and procedures established by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners in order to:
(a) Strengthen and improve regulation of insurer solvency by the Department of Consumer and Business Services;
(b) Promote uniform and consistent regulation of insurance by this state and the other states;
(c) Reduce regulatory costs owing to unnecessary differences in the laws of the various states; and
(d) Obtain and maintain accreditation of this state’s insurance regulatory program by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. [Formerly 736.120; 1975 c.231 §1; 1981 c.247 §6; 1993 c.447 §12]
