375.1045. Report of findings of accountant to insurer, contents. — 1. The insurer required to furnish the annual audited financial report shall require the independent certified public accountant to report, in writing, within five business days to the board of directors or its audit committee any determination by the independent certified public accountant that the insurer has materially misstated its financial condition as reported to the director as of the balance sheet date currently under audit or that the insurer does not meet the minimum capital and surplus requirement of the law as of that date.
An insurer who has received a report pursuant to this subsection shall forward a copy of the report to the director within five business days of receipt of such report and shall provide the independent certified public accountant making the report with evidence of the report being furnished to the director. If the independent certified public accountant fails to receive such evidence within the required five-business-day period, the independent certified public accountant shall furnish to the director a copy of its report within the next five business days.
2. No independent public accountant shall be liable in any manner to any person for any statement made in connection with subsection 1 of this section if such statement is made in good faith in compliance with subsection 1 of this section.
3. If the accountant, subsequent to the date of the audited financial report filed under sections 375.1025 to 375.1062 , becomes aware of facts which might have affected his or her report, such accountant is required to take such action as prescribed in the professional standards of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
