Legislative Audit Bureau
November 4, 1996
The Honorable, The Senate:
We have completed a financial audit of the State Life Insurance Fund, which provides low-cost individual life insurance to Wisconsin residents and is administered by the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance. The Fund is subject to the same regulatory requirements as any life insurance company licensed to operate in Wisconsin, as well as to other specific statutory restrictions, such as a prohibition on advertising and maximum coverage of $10,000.
Our financial audit, which covered calendar years 1995 and 1994, included tests to ensure that the Office's financial statements are fairly presented and to assess the Fund's control policies and procedures and its compliance with statutory requirements. In our report, we provide an unqualified, or "clean," opinion on the Fund's financial statements. We also issue a separate management letter to the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance, which discusses various internal control concerns noted during the audit and recommends improvements. However, the audit report and management letter include no major findings, conclusions, or recommendations.
Copies of the audit report have been distributed to the members of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee and those required by law to receive copies. If you are interested in receiving a copy of this report, please contact our office and request report number 96-14. If you are interested in a copy of the management letter, please request the 1996 management letter of the State Life Insurance Fund.
Sincerely,
Dale Cattanach
State Auditor
