(1) An insurer shall file with the commissioner within 60 days of the date an annual audited financial report is filed, or is required under s. Ins 50.05 to be filed, a written communication prepared by the independent certified public accountant describing any unremediated material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting noted during the audit. Such communication shall be prepared by the independent certified public accountant and shall contain a description of any unremediated material weakness, as the term material weakness is defined by Statement on Auditing Standard 60, Communication of Internal Control Related Matters Noted in an Audit, or its replacement, as of December 31 immediately preceding, so as to coincide with the audited financial report discussed in s.

If no unremediated material weaknesses were noted, the communication should so state.
(2) The insurer shall provide a description of remedial actions taken or proposed to correct unremediated material weaknesses, if the actions are not described in the independent certified public accountant's communication.
