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.
