ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
. Discovered a bug in the program which produced a computer run for
receivables. This bug had remained undetected since the program
was designed and remained undetected through 20 years of CPA
audits, internal audits and statutory exams. Company corrected the
problem resulting in the company receiving accurate data for
better analysis.
. Identified a stop loss reinsurance treaty as not transferring any
risk at a major multinational insurance company. (This happened
before FASB 113). While reviewing the data for this stop loss
reinsurance discovered that the change in the present value of the
reserves (discounted reserves) every year was not accounted for
properly resulting in the misstatements of the financial
statements. (This discovery was discovered because of exposure to
one year of mandatory Mathematics required in the bachelor's
business degree). Resulted in correcting the unintentional
misstatement of income statement.
. Discovered overpayment of premium taxes of over $250,000. Resulted
in the Company filing for a refund of the overpayments.
. Discovered illegal dividend payments to the parent company. The
Company amended procedures to prevent similar incidents in the
future.
. Discovered procedural problems in recording of data where the
company reported the date of completing paperwork for issuing a
check on a loss as the report date. This had remained undiscovered
through numerous previous CPA audits and statutory exams. The
company revised procedures to correct this weakness.
. On the investment portfolio, discovered that the stated value of
amortized bonds went up and down every year. This had remained
undiscovered through numerous previous CPA audits and statutory
exams. The Company revised procedures to have a proper review
program before booking these numbers and initiated a training
program for the staff.
. Discovered manipulation of Schedule P data by company management.
The company was manipulating the Schedule P data to reduce their
statutory reserve penalty. This enhanced the regulatory oversight.
. Designed templates to make actuarial projections for both loss
reserves and loss adjustment expense reserves for P & C companies.
These templates make projections by using incurred method,
incurred less IBNR method, paid method and do the unallocated and
allocated loss adjustment reserves separately using the same one
time input base data. Used these templates to make own actuarial
projections, resulting in discovering grave under-stating of loss
and loss adjustment expense reserves. This improved the regulatory
monitoring of the reserves.
