Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why B is correct
Under the Florida Insurance Code, the Office of Insurance Regulation conducts market conduct examinations to review how insurers treat consumers, including claims handling, underwriting, policyholder service, and marketing practices, to detect violations of law and unfair practices and to order corrective action where problems are found.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Officers' personal finances are not the subject; the exam focuses on company practices affecting consumers.
- C) Dividend approvals are not the purpose of a market conduct examination.
- D) Agent licensing is administered by the Department of Financial Services, not through OIR market conduct exams.
Memory hook
Market conduct = how the insurer behaves toward customers.
