Advisory Organization Examination Protocol (C) Working Group
December 2007

Since the Fall National Meeting the Advisory Organization Examination Protocol (C) Working Group did not formally meet. The Working Group however continued to work on an August 20, 2007, draft of the Market Regulation Handbook Chapter Twenty-Five, Conducting the Statistical Agent and/or Advisory Organization Examination. A new draft will be exposed in December 2007.

A separate review of the information systems controls is being conducted for inclusion in Chapter Twenty-Five. The Working Group will also review the various standards contained in the Market Regulation Handbook and recommend revisions if deemed necessary to the Market Regulation Handbook (D) Working Group.

The Working Group is planning to meet via conference call in December.

There were no action items of the Working Group.
