2008 Charges

  • In collaboration with the Market Analysis Priorities (D) Working Group, expand the Market Regulation Handbook to include the market regulation initiatives and market analysis techniques set forth in the NAIC Framework for Market Analysis, develop new core competency standards to include criteria which measure state compliance with the market regulation initiatives and market analysis techniques outlined in the Framework for Market Analysis, and develop other core competency standards that support market regulatory function, as deemed necessary by the Working Group;
  • Evaluate the need and develop market conduct examination standards and procedures regarding regulated entities’ market conduct-related activities; and
  • Develop general overall updates to the Market Regulation Handbook/core competencies to include references to new and existing NAIC working group initiatives, work products and NAIC models and white papers.
