Do you enjoy working in a fast-paced remote-centered environment with variety in your work? The California Department of Insurance (CDI) is seeking a dynamic Insurance Examiner with a good understanding of accounting concepts, financial assertions, general auditing standards, work paper documentation standards, etc.

 

If this is you, then CDI may be the employer for you!

 

Under supervision, the Insurance Examiner (IE) will assist in the financial examinations (audits) of insurance companies to determine their financial status, solvency, and the legality and propriety of their operations. Tasks include but are not limited to: review and assess the effectiveness of the insurer's audit function as well as the enterprise risk management function; exercise judgment to identify and assess solvency risks facing the insurer; identify relevant controls and/or risk mitigation strategies to address risks identified and perform tests of controls to evaluate their effectiveness, as well as examine related records to appropriately determine insurer's compliance with state laws, rules, regulations and standards/guidelines prescribed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). This position is primarily remote-centered (i.e. telework). Remote-centered work is subject to change to office-centered work based on operational needs. The IE must be able to manage time effectively to complete tasks and assignments on time and within the assigned budget.

 

In addition, when conducting financial examinations of a regulated company, travel to a company's place of business may be required (may be in-state or out-of-state) and may require overnight stay(s). Some travel may require the IE to use private and/or public modes of transportation (i.e., automobile, commercial airlines, etc.). The IE must possess a valid California driver's license and be able to safely drive and operate a private passenger automobile when traveling on official state business.
