The public decided long ago that insurance regulation – fair, firm, honest insurance regulation – was in everybody's interest. The job of protecting consumers and preserving a robust, competitive marketplace was delegated to the states, where individual state insurance commissioners have built a firm and enduring foundation upon which all insurance now thrives.
IRES™ – the Insurance Regulatory Examiners Society – is an important part of that foundation. The Society, established in 1987, works to enhance the efforts of state regulators by ensuring professionalism and integrity among the men and women who serve with state or federal insurance regulatory bodies.
The Society's trademark is its nationally recognized professional designations, AIE (Accredited Insurance Examiner) and CIE (Certified Insurance Examiner). Its hallmark is its dedication to regulation that is competent, fair and honest (see the IRES Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics, below). After all, good regulation is in everybody's interest. It guarantees that everyone will be treated fairly – insurance providers as well as the insurance-buying public.
