5 WCIRB California Test Audit Program Effective January 1, 2012 Revised August 2015 Part I Test Audits of Payroll Reporting Purpose Part I Test Audits of Payroll Reporting A. Purpose Test audits under Part I of this Program shall be conducted by the WCIRB for the following purposes: 1. To conform with California Insurance Code (CIC) (f), which prescribes that the WCIRB shall initiate test audits of insured employers payrolls and insurers audits of those payrolls to check the accuracy and reliability of insurer audits, and to examine all records relative to insurers audits and premises of insured employers for ensuring the accurate reporting of exposures and application of experience modifications, if any, by insurers pursuant to the California Workers Compensation Uniform Statistical Reporting Plan 1995 (USRP); 2. To establish minimum auditing standards and to develop a program for monitoring insurer performance toward achievement of established standards; and 3. To improve audit proficiency through the evaluation of insurer auditing practices and the dissemination of beneficial information relevant to auditing procedures, training and materials. B. Monthly Selection of Risks Payroll Audits 1. All insurers participating in the Test Audit Program will be test audited on a continuous monthly basis. Insurer groups will be treated for all purposes as a single insurer. 2. Insurers must designate a primary authorized individual and if desired, a central address or alternative authorized individuals, for purposes of this Program. The following contact information shall be provided: name, title, mailing address and address. All usual and customary communication shall be performed electronically. The WCIRB s address is TestAuditProgram@wcirb.com. An insurer shall immediately notify the WCIRB of any change in the designated contact or contact information; failure to do so will not constitute good cause for purposes of waiving fines. 3. Insurers that are exempt from Part II of this Program will continue to be subject to Part I unless or until the Maximum Standard under Part I is achieved. 4. Monthly Selection List. A list of randomly selected policies will be sent electronically each month to the address of the individual(s) designated by the insurer. This list will include policies with expiration dates between 120 and 210 days prior to the date of selection. The Monthly Selection List will indicate the WCIRB file number, the insurer s name, the insured employer s name, the policy number, the policy issuing office (if available), and policy effective dates. 5. Monthly Selection Quota. The Monthly Selection Quota will range from 2 to 20 test audits, and will be determined by a combination of the following factors: a. Annual pure premium volume, as indicated on the latest available calendar year reporting compiled by the WCIRB; and b. The number of policies submitted to the WCIRB based on the latest complete calendar year in WCIRB records. 6. Combined payroll and claims classification audits will be conducted on each policy listed, unless the insurer is exempt from Part II, in which case only payroll audits will be conducted. 7. The insurer, within ten working days of publication of the Monthly Selection List, shall submit to the WCIRB the following audit materials: a. If physically audited, a non-returnable electronic copy of the auditor s worksheets, the premium invoice, and in the event non-standard classifications are used, a statement detailing the exposures by standard classification as they will be shown on the Unit Statistical Report; b. If the employer s voluntary payroll statement has been used and the policy has developed less than $10,000 of premium, a non-returnable electronic copy of the employer s signed payroll statement, the premium invoice, and in the event non-standard classifications are 1 WCIRB California
6 WCIRB California Test Audit Program Effective January 1, 2012 Revised August 2015 Part I Test Audits of Payroll Reporting Test Audit Procedure Payroll Audits used, a statement detailing the exposures by standard classification as they will be shown on the Unit Statistical Report; c. If the employer s voluntary payroll statement has been used and the policy will develop more than $10,000 of premium or the exposure is reported in the high-wage classification of any pair of dual construction classifications, a notification that the policy will be physically audited within 30 days and that the auditor s worksheets, the premium invoice, and in the event nonstandard classifications are used, a statement detailing the exposures by standard classification as they will be shown on the Unit Statistical Report will be submitted at that time; and d. If applicable, required material for claims audits as described in Part II below, unless the insurer is exempt from Part II. 8. Effective July 1, 2012, if the WCIRB has not received the required material by the 15 th day of the effective month of the Monthly Selection List, a fine of $5 will be charged for each calendar day thereafter until all required materials are received. (Example: For the Monthly Selection List for October, for each submission that is not received by October 15, a daily fine of $5 would be charged beginning October 16 until the submission is received.) If the submission is not received by the last day of the fifth month following the effective date of the Monthly Selection List, the policy will be eliminated from the selection and an additional fine of $500 will be charged. Materials required under Part I and Part II for the same selection will be viewed as one submission. A submission will not be considered received until all required materials are provided to the WCIRB. Waivers of fines may be granted at the WCIRB s sole discretion upon a demonstrated showing of good cause provided an application for waiver is received by the 15 th day of the effective month of the Monthly Selection List. 9. No risk will be test audited more than once in any four-year period except upon conditions established by the president of the WCIRB. 10. Insurers must notify the WCIRB of all audits or revisions of audits commenced or completed after the selection of the policy for test audit, based on the print date of the Monthly Selection List. Willful failure to notify the WCIRB that an audit or re-audit was commenced or completed after the policy was selected for test audit is improper and may result in administrative action up to and including citation to the Insurance Commissioner. Any insurer re-audit that is commenced or completed subsequent to the selection of the policy for test audit shall not be considered for purposes of determining test audit results. C. Test Audit Procedure Payroll Audits 1. Individual results of each test audit, including voluntary audits, will be sent electronically to the individual(s) designated by the insurer. Payroll results and claims classification results will be released simultaneously. 2. For each standard classification, the test audit shall apply the applicable approved pure premium rate to the difference between (1) the exposure determined by the test audit in accordance with the rules of the USRP and (2) the exposure reported by the insurer. 3. A significant difference shall be reported if: a. The sum of the absolute values of the pure premium differences for each applicable standard classification as determined in paragraph 2 above, exceeds $600 and 2% of the total insurer pure premium, or b. An incorrect experience modification is shown. c. Notwithstanding (a) above, no difference will result from an insurer s compliance with CIC if, at the time of selection the insurer notifies the WCIRB that CIC applied to the policy and specifies the classification that would have been used if CIC had not applied. 2 WCIRB California
7 WCIRB California Test Audit Program Effective January 1, 2012 Revised August 2015 Part I Test Audits of Payroll Reporting Test Audit Standards Payroll (Physical Audits) 4. For those audits that develop a significant difference, the insurer will be provided with a report explaining all differences. Payroll results and claims classification results, if applicable, will be released simultaneously. 5. A copy of the WCIRB s inspection report will also be provided in most cases. 6. For those audits that do not develop a significant pure premium difference, the insurer will be notified by letter of the name of the insured, the policy number, and the fact that the test audit was closed without significant difference from the original audit. 7. The insurer, immediately upon receiving the WCIRB s report, shall determine whether it agrees with the WCIRB s findings, making a re-audit if necessary. If there is agreement with the WCIRB s findings, the insurer shall immediately file a revised Unit Statistical Report with the WCIRB. The WCIRB, upon receiving the Unit Statistical Report, will check to ensure that it is consistent with the test audit result. All test audit differences must be closed within 60 days of notification. 8. If there is disagreement with the WCIRB s findings over pure premium differences or the experience modification, the insurer may file a protest with the WCIRB s Classification and Test Audit department at TestAuditProgram@wcirb.com. To be considered timely, the protest must be in writing, fully documenting all areas of contention, and must be filed with the WCIRB within 60 days after issuance of the test audit report. Only those differences fully documented in the initial protest will be considered by the WCIRB. The WCIRB shall respond to timely protests within 60 days. In those cases where the WCIRB does not respond within 60 days, the payroll test audit shall be eliminated unless (a) the delay is caused by a lack of cooperation by the insured or by similar circumstances beyond the WCIRB s control, (b) the insurer agrees to assist the WCIRB in acquiring the information needed to resolve the protest, and (c) the WCIRB is successful in acquiring the information. A test audit difference for which a fully documented protest is not received by the WCIRB within 60 days of issuance shall be closed as a difference. 9. In those instances where insurers are unable to resolve test audit differences with WCIRB staff, an appeal may be presented to the Classification and Rating Committee. D. Test Audit Standards Payroll (Physical Audits) 1. The results of all closed test audits will be summarized quarterly. Test audit summaries will include two reports: one for the results of all test audits closed within the most recent calendar quarter and the other for the results of all test audits closed as of the end of the most recent four consecutive calendar quarters. 2. Test audit performance will be evaluated quarterly based on the four-quarter results. 3. To achieve the Maximum Standard requires that no more than 10% of the policies test audited within the four-quarter period under review may develop significant differences as defined in Section C, paragraph 3 above, based on a minimum of 40 audits. If there are fewer than 40 audits included in the four-quarter summary, the most recent eight-quarter period will be used to achieve the 40-audit minimum. 4. Insurers achieving the Maximum Standard under Part I shall be excluded from the requirements of Part I for the next eight consecutive calendar quarters. Policies in the process of test audit, but not included in the summary at the time of exemption, will be completed and insurers will be required to file revised Unit Statistical Reports when necessary, notwithstanding exclusion from Part I. Insurers entering the Program or re-entering after exclusion will not be eligible for exclusion from Part I for eight consecutive calendar quarters. 5. To meet the Minimum Standard requires that no more than 20% of the policies test audited may develop significant differences, as defined in Section C, paragraph 3 above, based on a minimum of 40 audits. If there are fewer than 40 audits included in the four-quarter summary, the most recent eight-quarter period will be used to achieve the 40-audit minimum. If there are fewer than 3 WCIRB California

The increased Monthly Selection Quota shall be effective the first of the month following 60 days from the date of the Classification and Rating Committee meeting at which the insurer presented its remedial plan, unless the Committee establishes a different effective date. The increased Monthly Selection Quota and fees will continue until both of the following occur: (1) The insurer s test audit results, based on test audits selected on and after the date the insurer s Monthly Selection Quota was doubled, meet or exceed the Minimum Standard. (This period shall encompass a minimum of two quarters and shall continue until enough test audits have been completed to produce a credible evaluation); and (2) The insurer s audit performance meets or exceeds the Minimum Standard for the most recent four-quarter period. d. The Classification and Rating Committee may impose additional administrative actions as deemed necessary, including citation to the Governing Committee. e. The president of the WCIRB or his designee will report the Classification and Rating Committee s findings and actions to the appropriate insurance company officer and advise him/her of the following: 1 Complete calendar year (January 1 to December 31) direct written premium at pure premium rate level (prior to application of deductible credits), as reported to the WCIRB on the Data Call for Direct California Workers Compensation Experience (due by February of the following year), that has been certified as to its accuracy on the WCIRB Financial Call Data Certification (due by June of the following year) submitted by that insurer. 4 WCIRB California
