Sec. 6. (a) A domestic insurer shall have an audit by an independent auditor every year and shall file an audited financial report with the commissioner every year before June 1 immediately following the December 31 that ends the year reported on in the financial report. The commissioner may require a domestic insurer to file an audited financial report earlier than June 1 if the commissioner gives the domestic insurer ninety (90) days advance notice of the earlier filing date.

     (b) An extension of the June 1 filing date may be granted by the commissioner for thirty (30) days upon a showing by the insurer and its independent auditor of the reasons for requesting the extension and a determination by the commissioner that there is good cause for an extension. The request for an extension must be submitted in writing at least ten (10) days before the due date, and must include sufficient detail to permit the commissioner to make an informed decision with respect to the requested extension.
