Data Quality/Data Reporting
The Data Operations and Data Quality Departments are responsible for collecting, processing, and
reviewing the timeliness and integrity of the data that is reported to CAR, not only as it relates to
our statistical function, but also the residual market function.
Audit
Statistical and Reinsurance Audits are conducted to test the accuracy of company data reported to CAR.
These audits address statistical reporting errors that were not previously indentified by CAR's front-end edit
systems. They are performed in accordance with CAR's role as the statistical agent and as the residual market
mechanism for Massachusetts automobile insurance.

following generally accepted claims handling practices, procedures, and reporting methodologies as well as following
specific CAR, industry, and statutory requirements.

and processes relating to memeber company participation are addressed.
Market
Servicing Carrier responsibilites, relationships between agents and brokers and their contracted companies,
and Quota Share are all covered under this function.
