Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The Bureau of Insurance has the authority to examine a licensee's books and records to determine if unfair trade practices have been violated. This regulatory body ensures compliance with state insurance laws and regulations, and it has the power to investigate potential violations within the industry. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) provides model laws but does not have regulatory power over individual insurers.

Wait, the Bureau of Insurance can examine books and records? That's like an insurance company auditing itself. Seems a bit sketchy to me.

The Virginia Insurance Guaranty Association? Haha, nice try, but that's a state-specific organization. The correct answer has to be broader than that.

Okay, let me think this through. The question is asking about who has the power to examine records, so it's likely one of the regulatory bodies mentioned. I'll eliminate the ones that don't seem relevant and focus on A and B.
