Fixed Assets H M L
X

Background:
This test was an assessment of the internal controls related to fixed asset. It was included in the
internal audit plan due to the importance of having proper capitalization or expensing
procedures.

Scope and Approach:


Our evaluation included the following procedures related to fixed assets of the Company:
 Developed an understanding of the processes and controls in place for fixed assets by
obtaining the Company’s capitalization policy.
 Evaluated the accuracy and completeness of expenses incurred during the first and second
quarters of 2012 as they related to fixed assets or repairs and maintenance and verified they
were in compliance with the Company’s policy. Evaluates the assets added to the fixed asset
detail as being properly capitalized and that asset lives were in compliance with the
Company’s capitalization policy.
 Verified that the subsidiary ledger of fixed assets agreed to the general ledger.
 Reviewed all lease agreements currently outstanding for proper treatment as an operating
lease or a capital lease.

Key Highlights:
 For the first and second quarter of 2012 expenditures described above, no observations were
noted.
 For the verification of the subsidiary ledger to the fixed asset schedule for the first and
second quarter, no observations were noted.
 For the review of current lease agreements outstanding for proper treatment, no observations
were noted.

Suggestions for Improvement or Observations Noted:


 Old or Replaced Equipment: During the review of the fixed asset subsidiary ledger, it was
noted that some of the assets appear to be very old or may have been replaced by newer
assets. A detailed review of the subsidiary ledger should be performed each year before
property tax filing to verify only assets the Company currently owns or that are in operation
are included in those returns.

Fixed Assets

Suggestions for Improvement or Observations Noted – Continued:


 Proper Description: The Company’s capitalization policy states that an accurate description
of fixed assets be maintained in the subsidiary ledger. While current assets examined
included an accurate description, there are several older assets that did not have a proper
description. Some assets are labeled “land” or “roof”, with no description as to where these
items are located or what asset they represent. Maintaining proper descriptions is crucial if
an asset is disposed of or replaced.
 Add Accounting Procedures to the Policy: The current capitalization policy does not
include the specific accounting procedures applied each quarter. Items that should be added
to the policy include the following:
o All expenses related to fixed assets are first expensed to a repair and maintenance
account and those accounts are reviewed quarterly by the controller for any asset that
needs to be capitalized.
o The specific repairs and maintenance accounts reviewed each quarter should be listed
in the policy.
o The policy for deprecating assets should be included. The controller expenses
depreciation as follows: (1) the first quarter 25% of the yearly depreciation is
expensed (2) the second quarter the next 25% or a total of 50% of the yearly
depreciation is expensed (3) the third quarter the next 25% or a total of 75% of the
yearly depreciation is expensed (4) the fourth quarter the next 25% or 100% of the
yearly depreciation is expensed.
o The policy for determining if a new lease agreement is operating verse capital should
be included in the policy
 Minutes: A threshold should be set on the value of a fixed asset or repair that should be
approved by the board and included in the minutes.
 Prepaid Expense Threshold: During the second quarter’s expense testing it was noted that
a prepaid software license expense that would calculate to a prepaid balance of
approximately twenty thousand dollars at the end of the year was not capitalized and
amortized over the life of the agreement. It has been the Company’s practice not to
capitalize such items due to the year end balances being immaterial and this type of asset is
considered a non admitted asset under accounting guidance. The accounting guidance states
that the recording of a prepaid expense item should follow the general capitalization policy of
the Company, which currently is to capitalize any item greater than $1,000. We suggest
adding to the capitalization policy something specific to non admitted prepaid assets to
coincide with what the Company is actually doing.

Accounts Payable H M L
X

Background:
Accounts payable is a critical portion of the Company’s financial records and can be subject to
fraud without careful reconciliation and oversight. This test was an assessment of the internal
controls related to accounts payable. It was included in the internal audit plan due to the
importance of having proper controls over expenses incurred by the Company and proper
payment and review procedures.

Scope and Approach:


Our evaluation included the following procedures related to the accounts payable of the
Company:
 Developed an understanding of the processes and controls in place for accounts payable by
obtaining the Company’s cash disbursement policy. Develop an understanding of each key
control the Company has over cash disbursements.
 Obtain a detail of all disbursements from account 112200 for the first six months of the 2012
year and sorted the detail by accounts payable checks. Randomly selected 30 checks from
general accounts payable expenses and LSP expenses to test for proper key control
compliance.
 From the samples selected each significant control area for accounts payable was tested for
proper compliance with the policy. Controls tested were as follows:
o Two staff members approved the invoice.
o Checks were filed in the electronic system with all required documentation to
support the expense.
o Checks were properly posted to the general ledger and general ledger account
selected appeared to be appropriate.

Key Highlights:
 For the sample of LSP expenditures selected for the first six months of the 2012 year, no
observations were noted.
 For the sample of general accounts payable expenditures selected for the first six months of
the 2012 year the following items were noted as suggestions for improvements.
o Expense that are usually prepared by Katrina, such as filing fees or businesses
licenses, are not reviewed by a second person and not scanned to the electronic filing
system. We suggest that these items be scanned into the electronic filing system, at
least one additional member of management review the expenses and forms
completed and someone other than Katrina should mail the checks.

Accounts Payable

Key Highlights –-Continued:


o Expenses that relate to a recurring monthly expense do not require a review signature
before payment is processed. This includes items such as water, electricity and phone
bills. These types of expense should be reviewed at least quarterly by someone other
than the accounts payable person processing the bill for excess usage or possible
problems, such as a water leak.

Suggestions for Improvement or Observations Noted:


 Suggestions of Additions to the Check Disbursement policy:
o Include more detail of how invoices are received for payment internally by the
accounts payable clerks. How are invoices that are received electronically via email
handled?
o Include in the policy how general ledger expense account posting is determined. Is
the expense account posting determined by the person reviewing the invoice or by the
accounts payable clerk?
o What is the process of making sure an expense item is actually received? Add the
Company’s policy of obtaining receiving reports for items delivered to the Company
that should be matched to an invoice before payment is released.
o Add to the policy that invoices are checked by the accounts payable clerk for
mathematical accuracy.
o Add to the policy that invoices are stamped paid and the check number is written on
the invoice to avoid duplicate payment.
o Need to add to the policy how duplicate payments are avoided. Examples include
making sure each invoice number is entered into the accounting system, stamping all
invoices paid, paying amounts based on the invoice amount and not a vendor
statement total, and making sure deliver receipts are matched to invoices before
payment is remitted.
o What is the policy for approving and setting up vendors? There should also be a
policy for looking through the approved vendor list for those the Company no longer
does business with and deleting them from the system so a previously approved
vendor does not have a false payment made to them.
o What is the policy for proper cut off of expenses and making sure that expenses are
recorded in the proper periods?
 Suggestions of Improvements to the Cash Disbursement Policy:
o If a specific accounts payable clerk enters and processes a check for payment and
printing, that person should not mail the checks.

Cash Receipts H M L
X

Background:
This test was an assessment of the internal controls related to accounts receivable/cash
collections. It was included in the internal audit plan due to the importance of having proper
controls over receipts that are deposited or mailed to the Company.

Scope and Approach:


Our evaluation included the following procedures related to cash receipts of the Company:
 Developed an understanding of the processes and controls in place for cash receipts by
obtaining the Company’s cash receipt policy. Develop an understanding of each key control
the Company has over cash receipts.
 Obtain a detail of all receipts in account 112100 for the first six months of the 2012 year.
Randomly selected 30 receipts to test for proper key control compliance. The sample
included both ACH and check deposits.
 From the samples selected each significant control area for cash receipts was tested for
proper compliance with the policy. Controls tested were as follows:
o Deposit amount was agreed to supporting documentation and checks deposited
were footed with a control tape.
o Summary control slips were scanned for electronic filing, deposited into the bank
account and recorded in the general ledger.
o ACH and check deposit amount were traced to clearing the bank statement.
o For deposits that were only checks, checks were footed to the deposit total.
 Reviewed two months bank reconciliations for proper reconciliations and review.

Key Highlights:
 The sample of cash receipts selected for the first six months of the 2012 year, no
observations were noted.
 During the review of the bank reconciliations there were no observations noted.

Cash Receipts

Suggestions for Improvement or Observations Noted:


 Suggestions of Improvements to the Cash Receipt Policy:
o There should be a policy in place for recording and approving interbank transfers.
o Internal control items related to cash receipts:
 It was noted that the list of daily cash receipts that is compared to the posting
of customer accounts and deposits is not done by a person independent of the
cash receipts and accounts receivable functions.
 It was noted that the person that open the mail and makes a list of daily
receipts is not independent of the cashier and accounts receivable
bookkeeping.
 Generally the department that handles customer statement complaints is not
independent of the preparer of the daily cash receipts list or accounts
receivable.
 The three items noted above could be alleviated by assigning one staff
person that does not work in accounts receivable, to open the mail,
make a list of daily cash receipts to compare with postings to customer
accounts and handle customer complaints.

Investments H M L
X

Background:
This test was an assessment of the internal controls related to investments. It was included in the
internal audit plan due to the importance of having proper investment policies and procedures
due to the value of the Company’s balances.

Scope and Approach:


Our evaluation included the following procedures related to investments of the Company:
 Developed an understanding of the processes and controls in place for investments by
obtaining the Company’s investment policy.
 Agreed each month’s postings from the brokerage statement activity to the general ledger
until June 2012 and suggest any journal entries.
 Summarized what the Company’s policies and procedures are for common stock and bonds
and verified that the Company is adhering to their internal policy for those investment
currently outstanding as of June 2012.
 Agreed common stock and bond amounts per the brokerage statements to schedule D for the
quarter ended June 2012.
 Analyze the bond holdings for any write downs based on a low moody rating of B1 or below
and a NAIC rating of 3FE or below. The lower of the cost of the bond or the fair market
value was compared to the book value and evaluated for any additional impairment loss.

Key Highlights:
 During our review of the Company’s policy for investments it was noted that the policy did
not include procedures related to approving, recording or reviewing investment transaction.
See Appendix A for an investment procedures template that the Company can use as a guide
in writing an investment procedures manual.
 During our review of the Company’s policy for investments it was noted that it has not been
updated since 2006. There were several terminologies in the document that are not longer
valid in today’s market. See Appendix B for a summary of investment policy guidelines and
an example investment policy that may be helpful in updating the current policy and
Appendix E for classifications of debt securities from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch
 The monthly review of investment transactions resulted in several journal entries that will
need to be posted to the general ledger. The differences were the result of investment or
dividend postings that did not agree to the statements, foreign taxes not posted, bank fees not
posted, corrections of bond costs being posted to the wrong account, small differences in the
cost of an investment purchased and the US Bank in transit cash not being posted in the
correct period.

Investments

Key Highlights –-Continued:


 Due to the investment policy not using updated terminologies for bond ratings it was difficult
to determine if the Company was adhering to their policy. There were several bonds with a
low moody rating that may be in violation of the Company’s policy. For common stocks
there were several stocks that did not meet the dividend paying requirement or the proper rate
of return requirement. There were no stocks held in brokerage accounts that violated the
over $100,000 requirement in the policy.
 There were no significance differences in the comparison of common stock and bond values
from the brokerage statements to schedule D. There were some common stocks and bonds
that are not held in a brokerage account. The example investment procedures manual and
investment policy include notes on how to incorporate these types of investments into the
Company’s policies.
 Per the review of bond holdings, there were several bonds that had a Moody rating of B1 or
lower and a NAIC rating of 3FE or below. Per our analysis there is a potential for an
additional write down of bond values. The Company needs to establish a clear write-down
policy and procedure and working papers to support the conclusion. This was also a point
that the external examiner made for the Company to incorporate.

Suggestions for Improvement or Observations Noted:


 Update the Company’s investment policy.
 Establish an investment procedures manual. There should be clear steps on what the
investment committee is in charge of and what steps the outside broker is in charge of. What
needs to be prepared, approved, reconciled and reviewed internally.
 Have a time frame established to verify the Company is in compliance with their policy
related to investments.
 Need a policy to review bonds for lower of cost or market.
 Need a policy for investments not held by a broker
 Need a policy to receive an audited financial statements and Service Organization Control
Report (formerly 70, or SAS 70) from each broker the company does business with.

Income Taxes H M L
X

Background:
This procedure was an assessment of compliance with the Internal Revenue Service and various
state agencies regarding the annual income tax liability. It was included in the internal audit plan
due to the importance of complying with federal and state law for reporting taxable income and
payment of income taxes.

Scope and Approach:


Our evaluation included the following procedures related to income tax return preparation of the
Company:
 Review Form 1120-L for completeness and accuracy.
 Review various state income tax forms required to be filed.
 Prepare book-to-tax reconciliation for permanent and timing differences and review for
completeness.
 Recalculate income tax liability.
 Agree amounts reported on the income tax return with amounts reported on the annual
statement and trial balance.

Key Highlights:
 Observed a limitation on charitable contribution expenses; corrected classification of specific
expenses, reduced the limitation and lowered taxable income by $25,090.
 Reviewed the depreciation calculation for federal income tax purposes and noted bonus
depreciation as allowed for 2011 income tax purposes was not taken; recommended the
change in the calculation allowing an additional $24,043 of depreciation expense.
 As a result of our review and reconciliation of the investment accounts, it was discovered that
$91,315 of interest income was recorded in error and included in book net income; this was
eliminated from the taxable income calculation and resulted in a decrease to taxable income
of $91,315.
 Total changes and corrections reduced taxable income by approximately $140,000, for a
federal income tax savings of approximately $48,000.
 Observed that the deduction for book value of investments in other companies (stock) on the
Alabama Privilege Tax return did not include all qualifying stocks; Suggested correction of
this deduction and increased the deduction by approximately $540,000 for an Alabama
Privilege Tax savings of approximately $700.

Internal Audit Summary Report


Income Taxes

Key Highlights –-Continued:


 Federal law requires the payment of the income tax liability on a quarterly basis; at the filing
of the 2011 federal income tax return, the amount of tax paid in exceeded the income tax
liability by over $510,000. This overpayment is being appropriately applied to the 2012 tax
liability.
 The tax returns are generally due March 15th; Because the independent audit of the financial
statements is normally not complete until sometime in May, it has become routine to request
extensions of time to file the tax returns (generally until September 15th). However, it is
observed that the returns are not being prepared and filed until later in the year
(August/September).

Suggestions for Improvement or Observations Noted:


 Currently, the income tax returns are prepared internally and are not reviewed by a qualified
independent party. Consider the preparation of the income tax returns by an outside firm, or
the review of the internally prepared returns by an outside firm. In the case that the Company
hires an outside firm to prepare the returns, the returns should also be reviewed by an officer
of the company prior to the filing of those returns.
 Taxable income calculations should be prepared on a quarterly basis to insure that the
appropriate amount of tax has been paid in for the quarter; Although the overpayment of
income taxes can apply to the next year, in the case of the 2011 tax payments over $500,000
of the company’s cash has been held by the Internal Revenue Service for several months.
During this time, the company does not earn any interest and loses any potential earning
power from those funds.
 Tax returns should be filed as soon as possible; preliminary calculations can be prepared
prior to the completion of the audited financial statements so that as soon as the financial
numbers are finalized, the tax returns can be prepared and filed.

Travel and Entertaiment Policy H M L
X

Background:
This test was an assessment of the internal controls related to travel and entertainment. It was
included in the internal audit plan due to the importance of having proper controls over the
Company’s travel and entertainment expenses. This risk for this control is considered high
because of the external compliance violations that could occur with the IRS and adverse
publicity if the policy is not followed properly.

Scope and Approach:


Our evaluation included the following procedures related to the travel and entertainment policy
of the Company:
 Developed an understanding of the processes and controls in place for travel and
entertainment by obtaining the Company’s Travel & Business Expense Reimbursement
Policy.
 Obtained a detail of all disbursements from accounts 185-Travel, 818-Entertainment, 817-
Meals and 816-Lodging for the first six months of 2012. All expenses posted to these
accounts were tested for the following:
o The expense was submitted for reimbursement no later than 30 days following the
completion of a trip.
o Overall documentation of the expense included names and identity of the
individuals present, the business purpose, name and location of where the expense
took place, exact amount and date of the expense and receipts for all expenditures
o Mileage or gas reimbursement should include date and purpose of trip, location
traveled to and from, mileage and receipts
o Meal reimbursement should include name and identity of individuals present,
business purpose, name and location of where the meal took place, receipt and
date of the expense.
o Miscellaneous expense reimbursement should include a copy of the receipt,
names and identity of individuals present, business purpose and type of expense.
o An expense report should be submitted by each employee requesting
reimbursement and the report should be reviewed and approved.
o The expense was reviewed for the correct account charged and the expense
appeared appropriate.

Travel and Entertaiment Policy

Key Highlights:
Items noted during testing that appeared to not be in compliance with the Company’s travel and
entertainment policy are detailed below
 What appeared to be a preferred airline tickets and an upgraded hotel room was not
reimbursed by the employee for the amount above coach or a standard room.
 Rental car up grades with no clear reason for the upgrade or reimbursement by the employee.
 The following items were reimbursed with no clear business purpose or employee
reimbursement: tickets to concerts, spa appointments, spa merchandise, golf games, golf
apparel and supplies, city tour, limo services, in-room movies, personal hygiene items and
sporting events. The total for these items was approximately $16,600,
 On average, dinner and lunch meals were $50 to $100 per person with some lunches being as
high as $75 per person and dinners being as high as $220 per person. Receipts given to
support these expenses were not detailed to show how much was for food or drinks. The
amount expensed per day is significantly above the per diem rates set by the US government.
Even though the IRS does not state that the per diem rates must be used, those rates may be
guidelines that an IRS agent could use to determine if an expense is extravagant. The IRS
states the following: “You cannot deduct expenses for meals that are lavish or extravagant.
An expense is not considered lavish or extravagant if it is reasonable based on the facts and
circumstances. Expenses will not be disallowed merely because they are more than a fixed
dollar amount or take place at deluxe restaurants, hotels, nightclubs, or resorts.” A detailed
receipt would show if the meal was for food only or if high dollar drinks were purchased and
would help in determining the reasonable facts and circumstances of the expense.

There were several receipts for “snacks” that appeared to be to lounges or bars before and
after dinner and lunch. Several hotel charges were in the hotel bars and lounges. It is unclear
if these types of charges are in accordance with the Companies policy that states “Life of
Alabama’s policy is to refrain from consuming alcoholic beverages during business
functions. However, in the event an employee chooses to consume alcoholic beverages in
connection with a business function, the Company expects that employees will act
responsible and avoid excess.”
 The business purpose was not legible on several receipts or expense reports.
 Several in town meals for employees only did not include a clear business purpose.
 Some expense items did not include attached receipts.
 All lodging receipts were classified as lodging in the general ledger even though there were
several charges for entertainment and meals included in the receipt. Meals and entertainment
expense classified as lodging would not be subject to the 50% deduction rule on the tax
return. Approximately $12,000 in meals and $8,500 in entertainment was totaled as being
included in lodging for the period tested.

Travel and Entertaiment Policy

Suggestions for Improvement or Observations Noted:


 There was approximate $1,800 in cash tips reimbursed during the six month period with
no clear tip guidance in the policy. As these amounts are based on the honesty of the
employee and is a cash only transaction, a detailed tip policy should be included in the
travel and entertainment policy. The policy should give guidelines for tipping at
airports, hotels and restaurants. The employee can tip more than the guideline but will
not be reimbursed for the excess.
 A discussion needs to take place if a separate travel and entertainment policy for an
employee or an agent should be implemented.
 There needs to be a discussion of the Company reimbursing alcoholic beverages, what is
considered appropriate or excess. It could be detailed as to what is appropriate to
reimburse employee only meals verses customer entertainment meals.
 Consider receiving detailed receipts of expenses to determine how much of the meal was
for alcohol or food.
 Adding to the policy what is considered an unauthorized charge that is subject to
employee reimbursement? And who determines if it is unauthorized? Currently the
employee requesting reimbursement makes those determinations.
 Who checks that employees have adequate insurance on their cars used for business
travel?
 Need to define what a “reasonable” hotel room, airline ticket, rental car, meal or mini
bar charge should be.
 What is the policy for golf and spa expenses? These expenses should follow the IRS
guidelines for proper business expense; otherwise they need to be reimbursed by the
employee.
 What is the policy for entertainment ticket expenses? These expenses should follow the
IRS guidelines for proper business expense; otherwise they need to be reimbursed by the
employee.
 Need a detailed mileage/auto policy on how expenses will be reimbursed. Based on
actual expenses incurred or based on a mileage reimbursement. During testing of these
items some were being reimbursed based on actual gas receipts and some based on
mileage.
 Determined who completes the amounts for 1099 reporting or reimbursement to the
employee. Someone other than the employee should determine these classifications or
approve them.
 Making sure that all notes on expense reports that state what the business purpose of an
expense is for is legible, if a person’s handwriting cannot be read these individuals
should type all notes.

Travel and Entertaiment Policy

 Make a specific policy for in town employee meals that coincide with the IRS guidelines
and make sure there is a clear business purpose for the meal and has a legible
explanation on the receipt.
 Considering the amount of travel incurred by the Company an agreement with a travel
agent, rental car company, hotel chain or airline may be a good idea for better rates.
This would result in an agreement between the Company and the agency and would have
better guidelines that the company would set for these types of expense instead of
leaving the expense reservations, rates and upgrades up to the employee.

Internal Policies and Procedures H M L
X

Background:
This procedure was an assessment of specific internal policies of the Company. It was included
in the internal audit plan due to the importance of having proper internal policies. This report
may not include all policies or procedures that we may suggest in the future.

Suggestions for Improvement or Observations Noted:


 See Appendix C for a suggested example of adding an Internal Audit Charter to the
Company’s policies.
 See Appendix D for a suggested example of adding an Internal Audit Policy Statement to the
Company’s policies.
 There needs to be a policy for borrowing on behalf of the company. Even though the
Company does not currently have long term debt with an outside borrower, there should be a
policy in place that address the following:
o Who has authority to borrow on behalf of the Company.
o What needs to be approved by the Board.
o Confirming with banks the company does business with that there are no loans
outstanding.
o Search of public records annually and credit reports for any unknown lending.
 A policy for recording or understanding contingent liabilities that may need to be accrued on
the balance sheet should be developed and documented. The policy should include an
analysis of legal expenses paid during the year for evidence of work on pending or threatened
litigations. Communications with the Company’s attorney regarding any potential lawsuits.
Verifying there are no other items that need to be disclosed to the auditors. Some examples
are guarantees of other debt, standby letters of credit or other purchase commitments.

Summary of Suggestions for Improvements

Fixed Assets
 A detailed review of the subsidiary ledger to verify only assets the Company currently owns
or that are in operation are included in those returns.
 Review subsidiary ledger for proper description of fixed assets.

internally by the accounts payable clerks, how general ledger expense account posting is
determined, the process of making sure an expense item is actually received, the policy that
invoices are checked by the accounts payable clerk for mathematical accuracy, the policy that
invoices are stamped paid and the check number is written on the invoice to avoid duplicate
payment, the policy how duplicate payments are avoided, the policy for approving and

Summary of Suggestions for Improvements - Continued

Income Taxes
 Consider the preparation of the income tax returns by an outside firm, or the review of the
internally prepared returns by an outside firm.
 Taxable income calculations should be prepared on a quarterly basis to insure that the
appropriate amount of tax has been paid in for the quarter.
 Tax returns should be filed as soon as possible; preliminary calculations can be prepared
prior to the completion of the audited financial statements so that as soon as the financial
numbers are finalized, the tax returns can be prepared and filed.

Travel and Entertainment


 Adding to the policy the following:
o Tip policy
o Employee verses agent reimbursement
o Alcohol reimbursement policy
o Receiving detailed receipts
o What is an unauthorized charge and who determines that
o Determine “reasonable” amounts for hotel room, airline ticket, rental car, meal or
mini bar charge
o Policy for golf, spa and entertainment tickets and what is appropriate
o Policy for in town employee only meals
o Detailed policy on when actual expenses will be reimbursed for gas or mileage
 Who checks that employees have adequate insurance on their cars used for business
travel?
 Determined who completes the amounts for 1099 reporting or reimbursement to the
employee. Someone other than the employee should determine these classifications or
approve them.
 Making sure that all notes on expense reports that state what the business purpose of an
expense is for are legible.
 Considering the amount of travel incurred by the Company an agreement with a travel
agent, rental car company, hotel chain or airline may be a good idea for better rates.

Internal Policies and Procedures


 See Appendix C for a suggested example of adding an Internal Audit Charter to the
Company’s policies.
 See Appendix D for a suggested example of adding an Internal Audit Policy Statement to the
Company’s policies.
 There needs to be a policy for borrowing on behalf of the company.
 A policy for recording or understanding contingent liabilities that may need to be accrued on

SAMPLE INVESTMENT POLICY

I. Introduction
The intent of the Investment Policy of Life Insurance Company of Alabama is to define
the parameters within which funds are to be managed. In methods, procedures and
practices, the policy formalizes the framework for the Life Insurance Company of
Alabama’s investment activities that must be exercised to ensure effective investment
management of the Life Insurance Company of Alabama’s funds. The guidelines are
intended to be broad enough to allow the investment officer and committee to function
properly within the parameters of responsibility and authority, yet specific enough to
adequately safeguard the investment assets.

The assets of the Company should be invested to provide for the payment of all
contractual obligations to policyholders and to contribute to the growth of surplus over
the long-term. Therefore, the investment strategy will be based on prudent investment
principles within the context of applicable insurance regulations. The strategy will seek to
achieve the appropriate balance among: providing investment income to enhance
profitability; maintaining liquidity and generating cash flow to meet all obligations;
funding policyholder reserves within pricing strategies; and growing the value of surplus
over time, thereby contributing to the Company's future growth.

II. Governing Authority


The investment program shall be operated in conformance with federal, state, and other
legal requirements, including [insert any applicable NAIC guidelines].

3. Return
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining
a market rate of return, taking into account the investment risk constraints
of safety and liquidity needs.

V. Standards of Care
1. Prudence
The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the
“prudent person” standard and shall be applied in the context of managing
an overall portfolio. Investment officers acting in accordance with written
procedures and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall
be relieved of personal liability for an individual security’s credit risk or
market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported
in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse
developments. The "prudent person" standard states that, “Investments
shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then
prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise
in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for
investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the
probable income to be derived.”
2. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain
from personal activity that could conflict with the proper execution and
management of the investment program, or that could impair their ability
to make impartial investment decisions. Employees and investment
officials shall disclose any material interests in financial institutions with
which they conduct business. Disclosure shall be made to the board of
directors. They shall further disclose any personal financial/investment
positions that could be related to the performance of the investment
portfolio.

IX. Investment Parameters


1. Mitigating credit risk in the portfolio
Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all of
its value due to a real or perceived change in the ability of the issuer to
repay its debt. The Life Insurance Company of Alabama shall mitigate
credit risk by adopting the following:

A. Diversification
The investments shall be diversified by:
 limiting investments to avoid overconcentration in securities
from a specific issuer or business
 sector (excluding U.S. Treasury securities),
 limiting investment in securities that have higher credit risks,
 investing in securities with varying maturities, and
 list any other diversification items

B. Mitigating market risk in the portfolio


Market risk is the risk that the portfolio value will fluctuate due to
changes in the general level of interest rates. The Life Insurance
Company of Alabama recognizes that, over time, longer-term/core
portfolios have the potential to achieve higher returns. On the other
hand, longer-term portfolios have higher volatility of return. The
Life Insurance Company of Alabama shall mitigate market risk by
providing adequate liquidity for short-term cash needs, and by
making longer-term investments only with funds that are not
needed for current cash flow purposes. The Life Insurance
Company of Alabama further recognizes that certain types of
securities, including variable rate securities, securities with
principal pay downs prior to maturity, and securities with
embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the
portfolio differently in different interest rate environments. The
Life Insurance Company of Alabama, therefore, adopts the
following strategies to control and mitigate its exposure to market
risk:

33
DRAFT: SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

X Performance Standards/ Evaluation


The investment portfolio will be managed in accordance with the parameters specified
within this policy. The portfolio should obtain a market average rate of return during a
market/economic environment of stable interest rates. A series of appropriate benchmarks
shall be established against which portfolio performance shall be compared on a regular
basis. The benchmarks shall be reflective of the actual securities being purchased and
risks undertaken and the benchmarks shall have a similar weighted average maturity and
credit profile as the portfolio.

XI. Reporting/Disclosure
1. Methods
The investment officer shall prepare an investment report at least quarterly
[or monthly], including a management summary that provides an analysis
of the status of the current investment portfolio and the individual

Company of Alabama to ascertain whether investment activities during the
reporting period have conformed to the investment policy. The report

investment committee. The report will include, at a minimum, the

and improvements that might enhance the investment program, and shall

the external or internal auditor(s) to assure compliance with internal
controls. Such audit will include tests deemed appropriate by the auditor.
4. Exemption

policy shall be temporarily exempted from the requirements of this policy.

General Guidelines
These policies and procedures are designed to act as a guideline for business travel and
entertainment expense and miscellaneous expense reimbursements. They are based on
practices employed by most organizations of our size and take into consideration what is
considered reasonable and customary. While this handbook does contain suggested
expense limits, we challenge all employees to use professional judgment when incurring
expenses on behalf of the Company. Life Insurance Company of Alabama recognizes
that, in some isolated cases, business related expenses might need to be reviewed on a
case-by-case basis; however, this primarily applies if the expense in question was not
discussed in this policy.

reimburse the cost of alternative transportation to ensure that the employee does not place
themselves or others in danger. An employee, who is arrested and convicted for Driving
Under the Influence while in the performance of company business, or when returning

The use of airport shuttles and taxis upon arrival at the employee’s destination is the
preferred mode of transportation. Make sure to ask for a receipt if one is not offered. This
documentation aids in the expense-tracking process.

Business Use of Personal Vehicle


Employees may use their personal vehicle for business purposes if it is less expensive
than renting a car, taking a taxi, or using alternate transportation. Personal vehicles may
also be used when transporting company goods for delivery or entertaining clients. It is
the personal responsibility of the vehicle owner to carry adequate insurance coverage for
their protection and for the protection of any passengers. Life Insurance Company of
Alabama requires that employees who regularly use their personal vehicle for Company
business maintain minimum of $100,000/$300,000 bodily injury coverage and $50,000
property damage coverage on their vehicles. Mileage is reimbursed at the rate established
by the IRS ($.555/mile for 2012). This mileage allowance is in lieu of actual expenses for
gasoline, oil, repairs, tags, insurance, and depreciation. Therefore, actual expenses for
those items will not be reimbursed when your personal vehicle is used for business. To
be reimbursed for the use of your personal vehicle for business, employees must list on
the expense report:
 Date and purpose of the trip
 Locations traveled to and from
 Mileage

Lodging / Hotel

the reservation.

charges unless there is sufficient proof that the billing is in error or circumstances
were beyond the traveler’s control.
 Employees should request and record the cancellation number in case of billing
disputes.

property.

Appendix H - General IRS Guidelines for Travel and Entertainment

See the website http://www.irs.gov/publications/p463/index.html


The below information was copied in relevant topics from that website.

When you travel away from home on business, you should keep records of all the
expenses you have and any advances you receive from your employer. You can use a log,
diary, notebook, or any other written record to keep track of your expenses.

Separating costs If you have one expense that includes the costs of meals, entertainment,
and other services (such as lodging or transportation), you must allocate that expense
between the cost of meals and entertainment and the cost of other services. You must
have a reasonable basis for making this allocation. For example, you must allocate your
expenses if a hotel includes one or more meals in its room charge.

MEALS

You can deduct the cost of meals in either of the following situations.
 It is necessary for you to stop for substantial sleep or rest to properly perform your
duties while traveling away from home on business.
 The meal is business-related entertainment.

Business-related entertainment is discussed later. The following discussion deals only


with meals that are not business-related entertainment.

Lavish or extravagant. You cannot deduct expenses for meals that are lavish or
extravagant. An expense is not considered lavish or extravagant if it is reasonable based
on the facts and circumstances. Expenses will not be disallowed merely because they are
more than a fixed dollar amount or take place at deluxe restaurants, hotels, nightclubs, or
resorts.

50% limit on meals. You can figure your meals expense using either of the following
methods.
 Actual cost.
 The standard meal allowance.

Both of these methods are explained below. But, regardless of the method you use, you
generally can deduct only 50% of the unreimbursed cost of your meals.

Actual Cost
You can use the actual cost of your meals to figure the amount of your expense before
reimbursement and application of the 50% deduction limit. If you use this method, you
must keep records of your actual cost.

Standard Meal Allowance


Generally, you can use the “standard meal allowance” method as an alternative to the
actual cost method. It allows you to use a set amount for your daily meals and incidental
expenses (M&IE), instead of keeping records of your actual costs. The set amount varies
depending on where and when you travel. “Standard meal allowance” refers to the federal
rate for M&IE. If you use the standard meal allowance, you still must keep records to
prove the time, place, and business purpose of your travel.

62

Appendix H - Continued

Incidental expenses. The term “incidental expenses” means:


 Fees and tips given to porters, baggage carriers, bellhops, hotel maids, stewards or
stewardesses and others on ships, and hotel servants in foreign countries,
 Transportation between places of lodging or business and places where meals are
taken, if suitable meals can be obtained at the temporary duty site, and
 Mailing costs associated with filing travel vouchers and payment of employer-
sponsored charge card billings.
Incidental expenses do not include expenses for laundry, cleaning and pressing of
clothing, lodging taxes, or the costs of telegrams or telephone calls.

Incidental expenses only method. You can use an optional method (instead of actual
cost) for deducting incidental expenses only. The amount of the deduction is $5 a day.
You can use this method only if you did not pay or incur any meal expenses. You cannot
use this method on any day that you use the standard meal allowance. This method is
subject to the proration rules for partial days..

Note.
The incidental expenses only method is not subject to the 50% limit discussed below.

ENTERTAINMENT

You may be able to deduct business-related entertainment expenses you have for
entertaining a client, customer, or employee.

You can deduct entertainment expenses only if they are both ordinary and necessary and
meet one of the following tests.

 Directly-related test.
 Associated test.

An ordinary expense is one that is common and accepted in your trade or business. A
necessary expense is one that is helpful and appropriate for your business. An expense
does not have to be required to be considered necessary.

The amount you can deduct for entertainment expenses may be limited. Generally, you
can deduct only 50% of your unreimbursed entertainment expenses.

Appendix H - Continued

Directly-Related Test
To meet the directly-related test for entertainment expenses (including entertainment-
related meals), you must show that:
 The main purpose of the combined business and entertainment was the active
conduct of business,
 You did engage in business with the person during the entertainment period, and
 You had more than a general expectation of getting income or some other specific
business benefit at some future time.

Business is generally not considered to be the main purpose when business and
entertainment are combined on hunting or fishing trips, or on yachts or other pleasure
boats. Even if you show that business was the main purpose, you generally cannot deduct
the expenses for the use of an entertainment facility.

You must consider all the facts, including the nature of the business transacted and the
reasons for conducting business during the entertainment. It is not necessary to devote
more time to business than to entertainment. However, if the business discussion is only
incidental to the entertainment, the entertainment expenses do not meet the directly-
related test.

When Are Entertainment Expenses Deductible?

Appendix H - Continued

You do not have to show that business income or other business benefit actually resulted
from each entertainment expense.

Clear business setting. If the entertainment takes place in a clear business setting and is
for your business or work, the expenses are considered directly related to your business
or work. The following situations are examples of entertainment in a clear business
setting.
 Entertainment in a hospitality room at a convention where business goodwill is
created through the display or discussion of business products.
 Entertainment that is mainly a price rebate on the sale of your products (such as a
restaurant owner providing an occasional free meal to a loyal customer).
 Entertainment of a clear business nature occurring under circumstances where there
is no meaningful personal or social relationship between you and the persons
entertained. An example is entertainment of business and civic leaders at the opening
of a new hotel or play when the purpose is to get business publicity rather than to
create or maintain the goodwill of the persons entertained.

Expenses not considered directly related. Entertainment expenses generally are not
considered directly related if you are not there or in situations where there are substantial
distractions that generally prevent you from actively conducting business. The following
are examples of situations where there are substantial distractions.
 A meeting or discussion at a nightclub, theater, or sporting event.
 A meeting or discussion during what is essentially a social gathering, such as a
cocktail party.
 A meeting with a group that includes persons who are not business associates at
places such as cocktail lounges, country clubs, golf clubs, athletic clubs, or vacation
resorts.

Associated Test
Even if your expenses do not meet the directly-related test, they may meet the associated
test.

To meet the associated test for entertainment expenses (including entertainment-related


meals), you must show that the entertainment is:
 Associated with the active conduct of your trade or business, and
 Directly before or after a substantial business discussion (defined later).

65
DRAFT: SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
Internal Audit Report
Life Insurance Company of Alabama

Appendix H - Continued

Associated with trade or business. Generally, an expense is associated with the active
conduct of your trade or business if you can show that you had a clear business purpose
for having the expense. The purpose may be to get new business or to encourage the
continuation of an existing business relationship.

Substantial business discussion. Whether a business discussion is substantial depends


on the facts of each case. A business discussion will not be considered substantial unless
you can show that you actively engaged in the discussion, meeting, negotiation, or other
business transaction to get income or some other specific business benefit.

The meeting does not have to be for any specified length of time, but you must show that
the business discussion was substantial in relation to the meal or entertainment. It is not
necessary that you devote more time to business than to entertainment. You do not have
to discuss business during the meal or entertainment.

Meetings at conventions. You are considered to have a substantial business discussion if


you attend meetings at a convention or similar event, or at a trade or business meeting
sponsored and conducted by a business or professional organization. However, your
reason for attending the convention or meeting must be to further your trade or business.
The organization that sponsors the convention or meeting must schedule a program of
business activities that is the main activity of the convention or meeting.

Directly before or after business discussion. If the entertainment is held on the same
day as the business discussion, it is considered to be held directly before or after the
business discussion.

If the entertainment and the business discussion are not held on the same day, you must
consider the facts of each case to see if the associated test is met. Among the facts to
consider are the place, date, and duration of the business discussion. If you or your
business associates are from out of town, you must also consider the dates of arrival and
departure, and the reasons the entertainment and the discussion did not take place on the
same day.

Appendix H - Continued
50% Limit
In general, you can deduct only 50% of your business-related meal and entertainment
expenses.

The 50% limit applies to employees or their employers, and to self-employed persons
(including independent contractors) or their clients, depending on whether the expenses
are reimbursed.

The 50% limit applies to business meals or entertainment expenses you have while:
 Traveling away from home (whether eating alone or with others) on business,
 Entertaining customers at your place of business, a restaurant, or other location, or
 Attending a business convention or reception, business meeting, or business
luncheon at a club.

Included expenses. Expenses subject to the 50% limit include:


 Taxes and tips relating to a business meal or entertainment activity,
 Cover charges for admission to a nightclub,
 Rent paid for a room in which you hold a dinner or cocktail party, and
 Amounts paid for parking at a sports arena.

However, the cost of transportation to and from a business meal or a business-related


entertainment activity is not subject to the 50% limit.

Lavish or extravagant expenses. You cannot deduct expenses for entertainment that are
lavish or extravagant. An expense is not considered lavish or extravagant if it is
reasonable considering the facts and circumstances. Expenses will not be disallowed just
because they are more than a fixed dollar amount or take place at deluxe restaurants,
hotels, nightclubs, or resorts.

Allocating between business and nonbusiness. If you entertain business and


nonbusiness individuals at the same event, you must divide your entertainment expenses
between business and nonbusiness. You can deduct only the business part. If you cannot
establish the part of the expense for each person participating, allocate the expense to
each participant on a pro rata basis.

What Entertainment Expenses Are Not Deductible?


This section explains different types of entertainment expenses you generally may not be
able to deduct.

Club dues and membership fees. You cannot deduct dues (including initiation fees) for
membership in any club organized for:
 Business,
 Pleasure,
 Recreation, or
 Other social purpose.

This rule applies to any membership organization if one of its principal purposes is either:
 To conduct entertainment activities for members or their guests, or
 To provide members or their guests with access to entertainment facilities, discussed
later.

The purposes and activities of a club, not its name, will determine whether or not you can
deduct the dues. You cannot deduct dues paid to:
 Country clubs,
 Golf and athletic clubs,
 Airline clubs,
 Hotel clubs, and
 Clubs operated to provide meals under circumstances generally considered to be
conducive to business discussions.

Entertainment facilities. Generally, you cannot deduct any expense for the use of an
entertainment facility. This includes expenses for depreciation and operating costs such
as rent, utilities, maintenance, and protection.

An entertainment facility is any property you own, rent, or use for entertainment.
Examples include a yacht, hunting lodge, fishing camp, swimming pool, tennis court,
bowling alley, car, airplane, apartment, hotel suite, or home in a vacation resort.

TRANSPORTATION

These expenses include the cost of transportation by air, rail, bus, taxi, etc., and the cost
of driving and maintaining your car.

Transportation expenses include the ordinary and necessary costs of all of the following.
 Getting from one workplace to another in the course of your business or profession
when you are traveling within the city or general area that is your tax home.
 Visiting clients or customers.
 Going to a business meeting away from your regular workplace.
 Getting from your home to a temporary workplace when you have one or more
regular places of work. These temporary workplaces can be either within the area of
your tax home or outside that area.

Transportation expenses do not include expenses you have while traveling away from
home overnight. However, if you use your car while traveling away from home
overnight, use the rules in this chapter to figure your car expense deduction. See Car
Expenses.

Daily transportation expenses you incur while traveling from home to one or more
regular places of business are generally nondeductible commuting expenses. However,
there may be exceptions to this general rule. You can deduct daily transportation
expenses incurred going between your residence and a temporary work station outside the
metropolitan area where you live. Also, daily transportation expenses can be deducted if:
(1) If you have one or more regular work locations away from your residence or (2) your
residence is your principal place of business and you incur expenses going between the
residence and another work location in the same trade or business, regardless of whether
the work is temporary or permanent and regardless of the distance.

Car Expenses
If you use your car for business purposes, you ordinarily can deduct car expenses. You
generally can use one of the two following methods to figure your deductible expenses.
 Standard mileage rate.
 Actual car expenses.

69
DRAFT: SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
Internal Audit Report
Life Insurance Company of Alabama

Appendix H - Continued

Standard Mileage Rate


You may be able to use the standard mileage rate to figure the deductible costs of
operating your car for business purposes. After June 30, 2011, the business mileage rate
increases to 55½ cents per mile.

If you use the standard mileage rate for a year, you cannot deduct your actual car
expenses for that year. You cannot deduct depreciation, lease payments, maintenance and
repairs, gasoline (including gasoline taxes), oil, insurance, or vehicle registration fees.

Actual Car Expenses


If you do not use the standard mileage rate, you may be able to deduct your actual car
expenses.

If you qualify to use both methods, you may want to figure your deduction both ways to
see which gives you a larger deduction.

Actual car expenses include:


Depreciation Lease Registration
Licenses payments fees
Gas Insurance Repairs
Oil Garage rent Tires
Tolls Parking fees

If you have fully depreciated a car that you still use in your business, you can continue to
claim your other actual car expenses.

Business and personal use. If you use your car for both business and personal purposes,
you must divide your expenses between business and personal use. You can divide your
expense based on the miles driven for each purpose.

Accounts Payable H M L
X

Background:
Accounts payable is a critical portion of the Company’s financial records and can be subject to
fraud without careful reconciliation and oversight. This test was an assessment of the internal
controls related to accounts payable. It was included in the internal audit plan due to the
importance of having proper controls over expenses incurred by the Company and proper
payment and review procedures.

Scope and Approach:


Our evaluation included the following procedures related to the accounts payable of the
Company:
• Developed an understanding of the processes and controls in place for accounts payable by
obtaining the Company’s cash disbursement policy. Develop an understanding of each key
control the Company has over cash disbursements.
• Obtain a detail of all disbursements from account 112200 for the last six months of the 2014
year and sorted the detail by check type. Randomly selected 30 checks from each type of
disbursement: general accounts payable expenses, LSP and HCP expenses to test for proper
key control compliance.
• From the sample selected, each significant control area for general accounts payable was
tested for proper compliance with the policy. Controls tested were as follows:
o Two staff members approved the invoice.
o Checks were filed in the electronic system with all required documentation to
support the expense.
o Checks were properly posted to the general ledger and general ledger account
selected appeared to be appropriate.
o Check amount posted to the general ledger agreed to the electronic system
scanned file.
• From the sample selected, each significant control area for LSP disbursements was tested for
proper compliance with the policy. Controls tested were as follows:
o Approval of payment was noted.
o Checks were filed in the electronic system with all required documentation to
support the expense.
o Checks were properly posted to the general ledger and general ledger account
selected appeared to be appropriate.
o Check amount posted to the general ledger agreed to the electronic system
scanned file.

Cash Receipts H M L
X

Background:
This test was an assessment of the internal controls related to accounts receivable/cash collections. It was
included in the internal audit plan due to the importance of having proper controls over receipts that are
deposited or mailed to the Company.

Scope and Approach:


Our evaluation included the following procedures related to cash receipts of the Company:
• Developed an understanding of the processes and controls in place for cash receipt by obtaining the
Company’s cash receipt policy. Develop an understanding of each key control the Company has over
cash receipts.
• Obtain a detail of all receipts in account 112100 for the 2014 year. Randomly selected 60 receipts to
test for proper key control compliance. The sample included both ACH and check deposits.
• From the sample selected, each significant control area for cash receipts was tested for proper
compliance with the policy. Controls tested were as follows:
o Deposit amount was agreed to supporting documentation and checks deposited were
footed with a control tape.
o Summary control slips were scanned for electronic filing, deposited into the bank account
and recorded in the general ledger.
o ACH and check deposit amounts were traced to clearing the bank statement.
o For deposits that were only checks, checks were footed to the deposit total.
• Reviewed four months bank reconciliations for proper reconciliation and review.
• One day's deposit detail was received each six months that listed each policy holders account
number and amount paid. This detail was footed and agreed back to the deposited amount. Each
policy holder's payment was traced to being properly applied to their account balance in the
general ledger system.

Key Highlights:
• For the sample of cash receipts selected for the2014 year, no observations were noted.
• During the review of the bank reconciliations there were no observations noted.
• During the testing of one day's deposit detail there were no observations noted.

Suggestions for Improvement or Observations Noted:


• During the 2014 year testing, we noted no additional suggestions for improvements or observations.

Investments H M L
X

Background:
This test was an assessment of the internal controls related to investments. It was included in the
internal audit plan due to the importance of having proper investment policies and procedures
due to the value of the Company’s balances.

Scope and Approach:


Our evaluation included the following procedures related to investments of the Company:
• Developed an understanding of the processes and controls in place for investments by
obtaining the Company’s investment policy.
• Agreed each month’s postings from the brokerage statement activity to the general ledger
from July 2014 to December 2014 and suggested any journal entries as necessary.
• Agreed common stock and bond amounts per the brokerage statements to schedule D for the
year ended December 2014.
• Analyze the bond holdings for any write downs based on a NAIC rating of 5FE or below.
The lower of the cost of the bond or the fair market value was compared to the book value
and evaluated for any additional impairment loss.

Key Highlights:
• There were no significant differences between the investment statements and the posting in
the general ledger for the period from July 2014 until December 2014. Any monthly
differences were timing differences that cleared the next month.
• There were no significance differences in the comparison of common stock and bond values
from the brokerage statements to schedule D. There were some common stocks and bonds
that are not held in a brokerage account. The example investment procedures manual and
investment policy include notes on how to incorporate these types of investments into the
Company’s policies.
• Per review of the NAIC ratings of 5FE or below, we noted no additional suggestions for
improvements or observations.

Suggestions for Improvement or Observations Noted:


• During the last six months of the 2014 year testing, we noted no additional suggestions for
improvements or observations.

Benford's Law Testing H M L
X

Benford's Law - Definition, History and Application

What is Benford’s Law?


Benford’s Law, named for physicist Frank Benford, is the mathematical theory of leading digits.
Specifically, in data sets, the leading digit(s) is (are) distributed in a specific, nonuniform way.
While one might think that the number 1 would appear as the first digit 11 percent of the time
(i.e., one of nine possible numbers), it actually appears about 30 percent of the time (see chart
below). Nine, on the other hand, is the first digit less than 5 percent of the time. The theory
covers the first digit, second digit, first two digits, last digit and other combinations of digits
because the theory is based on a logarithm of probability of occurrence of digits.

Accounting fraud detection


In 1972, Hal Varian suggested that the law could be used to detect possible fraud in lists of
socio-economic data submitted in support of public planning decisions. Based on the plausible
assumption that people who make up figures tend to distribute their digits fairly uniformly, a
simple comparison of first-digit frequency distribution from the data with the expected
distribution according to Benford's Law ought to show up any anomalous results. Following this
idea, Mark Nigrini showed that Benford's Law could be used in forensic accounting and auditing
as an indicator of accounting and expenses fraud.

Benford's Law Testing - Continued

Distributions that can be expected to obey Benford's Law


• Credit card transactions
• Purchase orders
• Loan data
• Customer balances
• Journal entries
• Stock prices
• Accounts payable transactions
• Inventory prices
• Customer refunds

Distributions that would not be expected to obey Benford's Law


• Where numbers are assigned: e.g., check numbers, invoice numbers
• Where numbers are influenced by human thought: e.g., prices set by psychological
thresholds ($1.99)
• Accounts with a large number of firm-specific numbers: e.g., accounts set up to record
$100 refunds
• Accounts with a built-in minimum or maximum
• Where no transaction is recorded
• Data sets with 500 or fewer transactions

Conclusion
Benford’s Law can recognize the probabilities of highly likely or highly unlikely frequencies of
numbers in a data set. The probabilities are based on mathematical logarithms of the occurrence
of digits in randomly generated numbers in large data sets. Those who are not aware of this
theory and intentionally manipulate numbers (e.g., in a fraud) are susceptible to getting caught
by the application of Benford’s Law.

Scope and Approach:


Taking into consideration the disbursements that would not be expected to obey Benford's Law
our evaluation included the following procedures related to general accounts payable:
• Received a listing of all general accounts payable checks written for the period of January
2014 until December 2014.
• Imported into a Benford's Law spreadsheets the check amount, see results below.

X
Background:
This test was an assessment of the internal controls related to travel and entertainment. It was
included in the internal audit plan due to the importance of having proper controls over the
Company’s travel and entertainment expenses. This risk for this control is considered high
because of the external compliance violations that could occur with the IRS and adverse
publicity if the policy is not followed properly.

of the Company:
• Developed an understanding of the processes and controls in place for travel and
entertainment by obtaining the Company’s Travel & Business Expense Reimbursement
Policy.
• Obtained a detail of all disbursements from accounts 185-Travel, 818-Entertainment, 817-
Meals and 816-Lodging for the year ended 2014. All expenses posted to these accounts were

Travel and Entertaiment Policy (Continued)

Key Highlights:
• There were meal expenses without detailed receipts. Per Company policy, detailed receipts
are required for all meal and entertainment expenses in excess of $25.00.
• The Company should consider giving a more clear description of excessive alcohol charges,
or consider changing company policy. The policy states to limit the consumption of alcoholic
beverages during business functions, but excessive consumption is not clear.
• There were a few instances in which Company entertainment expenses were only Company
Executives, which is contrary to Company policy which states that approval for
reimbursement of entertainment expenses can only be granted if the person entertained has a
potential or actual business relationship with Life Insurance Company of Alabama.

Suggestions for Improvement or Observations Noted:


• Evaluate the threshold of required detailed receipts for meals and action when a detailed
receipt is not presented.
• There needs to be a discussion of what is considered appropriate or excess for
reimbursing alcoholic charges.
• Entertainment expenses should follow the IRS guidelines for proper business expense;
otherwise they need to be reimbursed by the employee.
• From the previous testing of this policy, there have been significant improvements.

Key Highlights:
 There were meal expenses without detailed receipts. Per Company policy, detailed receipts are
required for all meal and entertainment expenses in excess of $25.00. This policy is rarely
followed.
 IRS guidelines state that golf outings must be directly before or after a business discussion that
includes at least one potential or current business contact not associated with LICOA. One
exception is that of Conferences in which golf is an included activity of the conference. Golf
outings during LICOA sponsored trips are not considered business expenses and should be
reimbursed by the employee.
 Some expenses listed under meals or entertainment upon closer inspection were actually
personal items. These are personal expenses and should be reimbursed by the employee.

Suggestions for Improvement or Observations Noted:


 Some expenses lacked business purpose explanation. All expenses for meals and
entertainment require not only those present, but also the business purpose for the
expenses.

Additional Notes:
 Starting in 2018, the IRS no longer allows any deduction for entertainment expenses. The
IRS defines entertainment as “any activity generally considered to provide entertainment,
amusement, or recreation. Examples include entertaining guests at nightclubs; at social,
athletic, and sporting clubs; at theaters; at sporting events; on yachts; or on hunting,
fishing, vacation, and similar trips.” (IRS pub 463)

Background and Intended Use

1.1 Background

This is a report which outlines projected line item income and expenses for
calendar years 2019 through 2023.

This report summarizes the results of this analysis, and also documents the
considerations, methods and assumptions underlying the projections. Modeling
techniques which involved a large number of plan/age cells and sub-model
projections of cash flows and statutory earnings were used to make the
projections. For practical reasons, this report is presented in an overview format,
with sufficient information such that a qualified actuary could reproduce the results
of this report. Internal files which contain complete information pertaining to the
underlying detailed information in support of this summary have been prepared
and are available for review by persons authorized by the management of the
Company.

All projections performed during this analysis was done under the supervision of J.
Steven Keck, FSA, MAAA, the appointed actuary for the Company.

Actuarial methods, considerations and analyses used in the preparation of this


report conform to the appropriate Standards of Practice as promulgated by the
Actuarial Standards Board, which standards form the basis for this report.

1.2 Intended Use

The purpose of this report is to assist the owners and management of Life
Insurance Company of Alabama in determining a budget of income and expenses
for the next five calendar years. In addition, the budget projections for 2019
through 2023 are intended to provide further information requested by various
rating agencies. These results are not intended to be used for any other purpose.

Chapter 2: Reliances and Limitations 4

Chapter 2

Reliances and Limitations

2.1 Reliances

In developing this report, I have relied extensively on information produced by the


Company. Although independent verification of this information was not
undertaken, I did review certain portions of the information for reasonableness and
consistency. Reliance is placed on, but not limited to, the general accuracy of the
following information:

* The basic records, the statutory reserve valuation listings, other listings
produced from these basic records, and the basis upon which information
entered these valuations and listings.

* The information contained in the Statutory Annual Statements of Life


Insurance Company of Alabama for the years ending 2013 through 2017 and
the September 30, 2018 Statutory Quarterly Statement as filed with the
Alabama Department of Insurance.

* Information as to commissions, gross premiums, cash values, statutory


reserves, and policy benefits and provisions.

* GGY Axis software used in performing model projections.

The Company also employs the services of WA Consulting, LLC, an actuarial


consulting firm. This firm performs quarterly reserve processing from inforce
records provided to them by the Company as well as assisting in annual budget
and cash flow projections for use by the appointed actuary. I relied upon Mr. Jim
Karnow, ASA, MAAA, from WA Consulting, to construct the model and provide the
necessary output. I evaluated the results of the model for reasonableness and
consistency, however, direct inspection of the model input was not performed.

2.2 Limitations

This report and the data and model projections developed are subject to the
following limitations:

* This report and the opinions and conclusions expressed herein are for the
exclusive use of the management of Life Insurance Company of Alabama, its
advisors and consultants. Distribution or disclosure of this report, in whole or
in part, shall not be made to any other party (except pursuant to valid legal
process) without our prior written consent.
Life Insurance Company of Alabama
Chapter 2: Reliances and Limitations 5

* This report has been prepared in conformity with its intended use by persons
technically competent to evaluate the estimate of the five-year Budget of Life
Insurance Company of Alabama. Judgments as to the data contained in the
report should be made only after reviewing the report in its entirety, as the
conclusions reached by review of a section or sections on an isolated basis
may be incorrect. It is assumed that any user of this report will seek
clarification as to any matter in question.

* Although the model projections were developed to reflect the current and
proposed operating environments and the most probable future experience
within such environments, it should be recognized that actual future results will
vary from those projected in this report. Deviations in the parameters used to
reflect the environment could alter the projected results substantially. These
parameters include management direction, insurance regulations, accounting
practices, the Company's ability to file and obtain rate increases, federal and
local taxation, and external economic factors such as inflation rates and
available investment yields. Also, deviations from most probable assumptions
are normal and to be expected. Even without any change in perceived
environments, actual results from year to year will vary from those projected
due to normal random fluctuations. Due to the scope of the project, no
sensitivity testing was performed to demonstrate the impact of fluctuations in
the model assumptions.

Chapter 3: 2019 - 2023 Budget Summary 6

Chapter 3

2019 - 2023 Budget Summary

3.1 Description

This report develops an estimate of the statutory income and expense items of Life
Insurance Company of Alabama for calendar years 2019 through 2023. In making
this budget, we have followed the general methodology described in Chapter 4
and used the actuarial assumptions set forth in Chapter 5. The model is validated
in Chapter 6 and copies of the computer model projection runs are provided in
Chapter 7.

The following is a brief discussion of the assumptions used to project future


Statutory income and expense items for calendar years 2019 through 2023:

a) Investment Rate - The 4.00% projected interest rate on the market value of
current and future invested assets represents the level of interest earnings
(net of investment expenses) we expect the Company to average over the
five-year projection period used in our calculations.

b) Mortality - Industry mortality tables were used as the basis for the assumed
mortality used in our calculations. These tables were adjusted to reflect the
results of a recent mortality study looking at the Company experience
covering 2010 through 2017 calendar years.

c) Morbidity - Life of Alabama performs loss ratio studies on its individual and
group A&H business on a periodic basis. From this data, along with a review
of the benefit structure contained in each A&H model policy form, we derived
the incurred claim costs used in our calculations. Incurred claim costs for the
five-year projection period were trended forward for overall trend as stated in
Chapter 5. We have assumed that the Company will monitor loss ratios and
file for and obtain approval of any necessary future rate increases to account
for these trends, where appropriate.
Life Insurance Company of Alabama
Chapter 3: 2019 - 2023 Budget Summary 7

d) Rate Increases - Due to medical trend, or worse than anticipated experience,


the following premium rate increases were projected:

Inactive
Effective Uncapped Capped Group Other
Year Cancer Cancer Dental Group
2019 15.0% 15.0% 5.0% 10.0%
2020 15.0% 15.0% 5.0% 10.0%
2021 10.0% 10.0% 5.0% 10.0%
2022 10.0% 10.0% 5.0% 0.0%
2023 10.0% 10.0% 5.0% 0.0%

The rate increases projected are the average rate increase for each model
plan. The rate increases may not apply uniformly to all plans in the model line
of business. Rate increases are effective on the policy anniversary.

e) Persistency - Life of Alabama recently conducted a study of its


lapse/termination experience for calendar years 2014 through 2017. The
results from this study along with pricing assumptions formed the basis of the
lapse rates used in the calculations.

f) Expenses - Life of Alabama recently conducted a study of its expenses for


calendar years 2010 through 2018. The results of this study, along with input
regarding future expenditures, formed the basis for the expense assumptions.

g) Commissions - Top level commissions for the primary representative product


within a line of business were used. These commissions were then adjusted
to more accurately reflect actual experience. This includes adjustments to
take into account rate increases on certain policies within the line of business.
This is to recognize that with the exception of the group dental business,
commissions only apply to original premiums.

h) Reserve Increases - All reserve increases used in our calculations are based
upon statutory reserve requirements.

i) New Business Projections - New business projections were provided by the


Company and are reflected in the budget projections.

General Methodology
4.1 Outline of Procedure

In determining an estimate of statutory income and expense items on Life of


Alabama's in-force and projected new business for the Ordinary Life, Ordinary
Annuity, Individual A&H, and Group A&H lines of business as of September 30,
2018, the following general procedures were used:

1. The total business in-force at September 30, 2018 and projected new
business for the last quarter of 2018 and all of 2019 through 2023 was
grouped into model plans.

2. For each model plan, a computer model was constructed which grouped the
modeled life business by issue year, issue age, and sex and the modeled
A&H business by issue year and issue age.

3. For each model plan, income and expenses were projected over five years
using the assumptions described in Chapter 5.

4. Projected income and expense numbers generated for 2019 through 2023
were used in calculating the five-year budget.

In determining an estimate of statutory income and expense items on Life of


Alabama's other lines of business, the following general procedures were used:

1. For the group life line of business, prior Annual Statements were analyzed.
Income and expense items were trended forward for 2019 through 2023.

2. Investment income on Capital and Surplus was estimated and allocated


across lines of business in proportion to other investment income.

4.2 Description of Inforce Model

A summary of the September 30, 2018 in-force business model is shown on the

Re: Demand for Action by Board of Directors Pursuant To ALA. R. CIV. P. § 23.1.

Dear Board of Directors of the Life Insurance Company of Alabama:

My firm represents Trondheim Capital Partners LP (“Trondheim”) and MTP 401K


Plan (“MTP” and, together with Trondheim, the “Shareholders”). As you know,
Trondheim maintains an ownership interest in the Life Insurance Company of Alabama
(“LICOA”) of (1) 25,000 of the LINSA class shares; and (2) 5 shares of the of the LINS
class shares. MTP maintains an ownership in LICOA of (1) 6,700 of the LINSA class
shares; and (2) 5 shares of the of the LINS class shares.

By this demand letter, the Shareholders – who have been record owners more than
180 days prior to this Demand – are hereby demanding that the Board of Directors of
LICOA (the “Board”) take appropriate action on behalf of LICOA based on the following
wrongful actions that were injurious to LICOA:

1. Depressed share purchases that wrongfully deprived LICOA of a


corporate opportunity.

As we are sure you know by now, the Shareholders currently have direct claims
pending against Directors ROSALIE RENFROW CAUSEY (“Director Causey”) and
CLARENCE WILLIAM DAUGETTE III (“Director Daugette”) for breach of fiduciary
duty for violating AL CODE § 10A-2-8.32 by deflating share values with the intent to
purchase them for less than market value. That action is pending in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, Case No. 4:19-cv-01413-KOB.
CAMARA & SIBLEY LLP

However, the actions described in the Shareholders’ Complaint (attached hereby as


Exhibit 1), at paragraphs 15-18 and under Count II also constitute a breach of fiduciary
duty by Directors Causey and Daugette. These purchases of depressed shares by Directors
Causey and Daugette—and very likely other family members of the Directors of LICOA—
constitute a taking of a corporate opportunity of LICOA. These Directors owed a fiduciary
duty to both LICOA and its shareholders to present the opportunity to LICOA for accretive
share repurchases that would have increased demand for the shares, price of the shares, and
intrinsic value per share for all LICOA shareholders.

The Board should investigate all circumstances surrounding any and all purchases
of LICOA shares by any Director and/or their family members and determine whether such
share purchase opportunity was properly presented to LICOA. To the extent the Board
lacks “independence” within the meaning of Alabama and federal law, then the Board
should appoint independent directors to properly assess these claims.

2. Failure to assess prospective buy-out proposals deprived LICOA of a


corporate opportunity.

The conduct described in the Shareholders’ Complaint (attached hereby as Exhibit


1), at paragraphs 15-18 and under Count II also constitutes a breach of fiduciary duty by
Director Daugette and perhaps other Directors. If LICOA has received buyout offers from
third parties, those buyout offers must be assessed and evaluated to determine whether
taking them would be in the best interest of the shareholders of LICOA. However, it seems
clear that any buyout offers were “Dead on Arrival” because it is in the interest of Director
Daugette and perhaps other Directors not to sell LICOA so as to maintain the nepotistic
and wasteful compensation and family jobs program that enriches them, while the minority
shareholders receive no return on their investment.

The Board should investigate all circumstances surrounding any and all buyout
offers and ensure each was properly evaluated by LICOA. To the extent the Board lacks
“independence” within the meaning of Alabama and federal law, then the Board should
appoint independent directors to properly assess these claims.

3. Waste.

In addition, the conduct described in the Shareholders’ Complaint (attached hereby


as Exhibit 1), at paragraphs 15-25 and under Counts I and II also constitutes waste in two
different ways.

First, as stated in the Complaint, the Directors are authorizing excessive and
unnecessary salaries to family members of the Defendant Directors for either duties that
are not even being performed or for which they are unqualified. They are also receiving
director pay and executive compensation, which is highly unusual. The excessive
compensation is really just a de facto dividend to only the majority shareholders and their
families. This is waste and should be recovered by LICOA.

2
CAMARA & SIBLEY LLP

Second, as stated in the Complaint, the Defendant Directors failure to respond to


the Shareholders’ document requests has now subjected LICOA to substantial liabilities.
LICOA should recovery any attorneys’ fees or penalties incurred by LICOA from the
Defendant Directors as there is no excuse for the blatant failure to comply with Alabama
law.

The Board should investigate all circumstances surrounding these events. To the
extent the Board lacks “independence” within the meaning of Alabama and federal law,
then the Board should appoint independent directors to properly assess these claims.

We demand that LICOA respond to this Letter with its intentions and whether it
will agree to conduct the appropriate investigation (including whether it will appoint
independent board members) within 7 business days from the receipt of the Letter.

Please contact me with any further questions.

Respectfully,

/s/ Joe Sibley

Case 4:19-cv-01413-KOB Document 1 Filed 08/28/19 Page 4 of 12

IV. FACTS

A. Plaintiffs Purchase Shares In LICOA And Then Learn Of


Disturbing Nepotistic Practices.
13. Plaintiff Trondheim purchased (1) 25,000 of the LINSA class shares;

and (2) 5 shares of the of the LINS class shares in LICOA between July 2017 and

the present.

14. Plaintiff MTP purchased (1) 6,700 of the LINSA class shares; and (2)

5 shares of the of the LINS class shares in LICOA between July 2017 and the

present.

15. In May of 2018, Trondheim’s principal, Colin Peterson (“Peterson”),

met personally with CLARENCE WILLIAM DAUGETTE III (“Daugette”)—

president of LICOA and chairman of its board—and the chief operating officer of

LICOA, Mr. Steven Keck. Peterson was disconcerted by the poor operating results

and nonsensical capital allocation policy of the company. During this meeting,

Daugette made some startling admissions to Peterson.

16. First, Daugette said that he does not mind the fact that the company is

overcapitalized and the stock is cheap because it allows him and his family to buy

back the stock at a good price personally. This is consistent with the limited

disclosures that are provided annually by LICOA, which show the Directors’

personal holdings in LICOA increasing. However, Daugette also disclosed that he

4
Case 4:19-cv-01413-KOB Document 1 Filed 08/28/19 Page 5 of 12

buys the stock on behalf of other family members, which allows him to hide some

of the purchases.

17. The concerns raised in this meeting caused Peterson to obtain a copy

of an examination report from the State of Alabama Department of Insurance’s

examination of LICOA. See Ex. 1. The report disclosed that management was

“not avoiding the appearance of impropriety” because of nepotistic practices and

noted that the hiring and salaries of family members was “highly unusual”.

Among the items red-flagged by the examiners were as follows:

i. Defendant ROSALIE RENFROW CAUSEY (“Rosalie”), who is the

granddaughter of Daugette and whose parents are both Director-

Defendants, was hired as a “management trainee” in 2002.

ii. Rosalie was paid approximately $24,000.00 per year between 2002-04

and given a car allowance of between $300-$550 during that time

frame.

iii. The examiners found that Rosalie did not keep regular business hours

and was routinely not in the office despite allegedly being a “full-time

employee in training for upper management”. Her hours were not

tracked on a time sheet.

5
Case 4:19-cv-01413-KOB Document 1 Filed 08/28/19 Page 6 of 12

iv. Rosalie reports only to her father – Director Defendant RAYMOND

RUDOLPH RENFROW, JR. No other LICOA employee can give a

complete account of Rosalie’s work activities.

v. LICOA admitted to the examiners that the reason for Rosalie’s

presence is to ensure a dynastic nepotistic succession of the Daugette

family in controlling LICOA.

vi. The examiners found it “highly unusual” that a recent college

graduate such as Rosalie would be allowed to set their own schedule

while supposedly in training, all while receiving a full-time salary and

benefits.

vii. The examiners noted that the above-referenced conduct created an

appearance of impropriety that would make LICOA vulnerable to

shareholder litigation.

viii. The examiners further found that that LICOA was paying for cell

phones for certain family members of the Director Defendants.

ix. The examiners also noted that the Directors who are also employees

of LICOA were receiving both Director fees and their employee

salaries, which they noted was also “highly unusual” since “only

family members” were receiving these benefits.

6
Case 4:19-cv-01413-KOB Document 1 Filed 08/28/19 Page 7 of 12

x. Finally, the examiners found that LICOA was paying for some travel

expenses for family members travelling to LICOA events.

18. The red flags raised by this report are even further underscored by the

fact that the Department of Insurance’s primary function is to protect policy

holders – not shareholders. So the fact that the conduct made it into this report

demonstrates how out of the ordinary it is. LICOA is not being ran as a company

to maximize value for shareholders – it is being operated as a “family jobs

program” for the Director Defendants and their families.

B. Plaintiffs Are Denied Their Statutory Rights Of Inspection.


19. On June 28, 2019, Plaintiffs sent a letter to LICOA requesting an

inspection of LICOA’s books and records pursuant to AL CODE § 10A-2-16.02(b),

which allows any shareholder who has been a record owner for more than six

months to inspect the books, papers, records of account, minutes, and record of

shareholders. Under AL CODE § 10A-2-16.02(b), a corporation is required to

provide the records within five business days. However, Plaintiffs gave LICOA

fourteen calendar days to respond. See Ex. 2.

20. On July, 2 2019, however, LICOA—through its counsel—responded

that Plaintiffs were only permitted to a limited inspection because they were not

record owners of more than 5% of the shares of LICOA, but still failing to provide

those records or a date for inspection. See Ex. 3.

7
Case 4:19-cv-01413-KOB Document 1 Filed 08/28/19 Page 8 of 12

21. Plaintiffs responded by pointing out that AL CODE § 10A-2-16.02(b)

permits a record owner of more than 5% of the shares or a record owner of shares

for more than 180 days to conduct an inspection under that section.

22. LICOA then agreed to produce records, but claimed to need more

time. Even though LICOA’s statutory time frame had long since lapsed, on July

15, 2019, Plaintiffs agreed to give LICOA an additional twenty-one days to

provide an inspection date and that, in any event, documents should be produced

not later than August 23, 2019.

23. The deadline given by Plaintiffs for compliance, August 5, 2019 came

and went with no date identified by LICOA. Plaintiffs informed LICOA that it

was in default of the extension agreement and reserved all rights under AL CODE §

10A-2-16.02(b).

24. Nine days after the deadline, on August 14, 2019, LICOA sent a letter

agreeing to make documents available for inspection and copying with some

exceptions. See Ex. 4. Disturbingly, despite the fact that Daugette admitted in the

meeting with Peterson that he regularly receives—and then ignores—offers to buy

LICOA, the response states that there are no documents relating to the value of

LICOA. See id.

8
Case 4:19-cv-01413-KOB Document 1 Filed 08/28/19 Page 9 of 12

25. Plaintiffs immediately demanded a date to coordinate receipt of the

requested documents. However, to date, LICOA has not responded or provided

any date for inspection and copying.

V. CAUSES OF ACTION

COUNT I

VIOLATION OF SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS UNDER


AL Code § 10A-2-16.02(b) (All Defendants)

26. Plaintiffs re-allage all of the preceding allegations as if fully stated

herein.

27. Plaintiffs tendered demand for inspection of records to LICOA on

June 28, 2019. Plaintiffs are entitled to records under AL CODE § 10A-2-16.02(b)

because they were record shareholders of LICOA for more than six months prior to

the June 28, 2019 request for inspection pursuant to AL CODE § 10A-2-16.02(b).

Defendants failed to provide the requested records by the time specified by

Plaintiffs.

28. Pursuant to AL CODE § 10A-2-16.02(c), both LICOA and the

Directors are liable to Plaintiffs for 10% of their share values, which Plaintiffs

believe total at least $1,001,250.00 (based on 12/31/18 book value) for Trondheim

and $268,335.00 (based on 12/31/18 book value) for MTP. However, as discussed

herein, Plaintiffs believe this value is suppressed and lower than actual value due

to the actions of the Director Defendants and seek an award of 10% of the actual

9
Case 4:19-cv-01413-KOB Document 1 Filed 08/28/19 Page 10 of 12

value of the shares, which, in no event, can be less than the aforementioned values.

In addition, Plaintiffs demand their costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in

prosecuting their shareholder rights.

COUNT II

BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY UNDER


AL Code § 10A-2-8.32 (Director Defendants Daugette and Rosalie)

29. Plaintiffs reallege all of the preceding allegations as if fully state

herein.

30. Director Defendants Daugette and Rosalie had and have a duty under

AL Code § 10A-2-8.32 not to depreciate LICOA shares or to purchase LICOA

shares at less than market value.

31. These Director Defendants have admitted to a scheme whereby they

have purposefully overcapitalized LICOA and overpaid family members to depress

share value, personally benefit themselves, which allows them to purchase the

shares at a lower than market value either through their own purchase or through

third-party family members to maintain a controlling interest in LICOA to further

their nepotistic shareholder oppression tactics.

32. By reason of their position of Directors of LICOA, they owe fiduciary

duties to the shareholders of LICOA, including the duties of good faith and fair

dealing and the duty to put the interests of LICOA and its shareholders above their

own interests. In addition, the Directors are and were required to comply with AL

10
Case 4:19-cv-01413-KOB Document 1 Filed 08/28/19 Page 11 of 12

Code § 10A-2-8.32.

33. These Director Defendants breached their fiduciary duties toward

Plaintiffs by their conduct of violating AL Code § 10A-2-8.32. Specifically, the

LICOA Annual Meeting of Shareholders Report shows that Director Defendant

Daugette increased his holdings in LICOA from 20,985 common shares and

31,735 in class “A” shares in 2017 to 21,177 common shares and 32,747 in class

“A” shares in 2019. Likewise, Director Defendant Rosalie increased her holdings

in LICOA from 265 common shares and 3,288 in class “A” shares in 2017 to 3,421

in class “A” shares in 2019.

34. Plaintiffs have been damaged as a direct and proximate result of the

Director Defendants breach of their fiduciary duties in the amount of the depressed

share values and the Director Defendants have also been unjustly enriched by

acquiring shares at below market value. Plaintiffs demand damages and

disgorgement as well as their reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

VI. PRAYER FOR RELIEF


Such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper.

A.M. Best Affirms Ratings of Life Insurance Company of Alabama – Ins... https://insurancenewsnet.com/oarticle/AM-Best-Affirms-Ratings-of-Life...

A.M. Best Co. has affirmed the financial strength rating of B+ (Good) and issuer credit rating of "bbb-" of
Life Insurance Company of Alabama (LICOA) (Gadsden, AL). The outlook for both ratings is stable.

The rating affirmations reflect LICOA's established niche marketing of supplemental accident and health
and life insurance products primarily via worksite sales, relatively stable profitability and significant
reduction in its liability exposure resulting from the settlement of two class-action lawsuits in 2011.

Offsetting rating factors include LICOA's concentration of business in the cancer insurance market,
continuing litigation expenses and its business concentration in Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi and
Georgia.

LICOA, licensed in 10 southeastern states and Oklahoma, is a small, closely held public company that has
provided supplemental insurance products to employer groups and individuals since 1952.

Future positive rating actions could occur if LICOA significantly grows its non-cancer lines of business
while maintaining profitability, sizably reduces litigation expenses and appreciably grows business beyond
its core four state marketing territory. Alternatively, negative rating actions could occur if profitability
trends downward or if its sufficient capital and surplus level materially deteriorates.

comprehensive explanation of A.M. Best's rating process and contains the different rating criteria
employed in the rating process. Key criteria utilized include: "Rating Health Insurance Companies"; "Risk
Management and the Rating Process for Insurance Companies"; "BCAR for Life/Health Insurers"; and
"Assessing Country Risk." Best's Credit Rating Methodology can be found at www.ambest.com/ratings
