Organizational Chart

The state of Arkansas is part of the U.S. insurance regulatory framework which is a highly coordinated state-based national system designed to protect policyholders and to  serve the greater public interest through the effective regulation of the U.S. insurance marketplace.  Through the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC),  U.S. insurance regulators establish national standards and best practices, conduct peer reviews and coordinate their regulatory oversight to better protect the interests of  consumers while ensuring a strong, viable insurance marketplace.  U.S. insurance regulators also participate in the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS)  along with the NAIC by participating in major standard setting initiatives, including working with fellow regulators from around the world to better supervise cross-border  insurers, identifying systemic risk in the insurance sector, and creating international best practices.
