Our Financial Regulation Division is responsible for monitoring the financial solvency of one of the largest domestic industries in the country. As part of our financial solvency monitoring, we conduct ongoing analysis of quarterly financial statements and other statutory filings and conduct on-site financial examinations every three to five years. In addition to monitoring our domestic insurance industry, the Regulation Division is also responsible for the licensure and ongoing financial compliance of all insurance companies who write business in Nebraska. Finally, the division audits over 1600 premium tax returns though which the NDOI collects over $100 million in premium tax revenue.
The Division is led by the Chief Financial Regulator Tadd Wegner and the Deputy Chief Financial Regulator Andrea Johnson.
