Miss. Code § 83-5-109
Financial statements furnished pursuant to Section 83-5-103 shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant. The audit of the insurer's financial statements shall be conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The independent certified public accountant should obtain an understanding of internal control sufficient to plan the audit. To the extent required by generally accepted auditing standards, for those insurers required to file a Management's Report of Internal Control over Financial Reporting pursuant to Section 83-5-123, the independent certified public accountant should consider (as that term is defined in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 102, "Defining Professional Requirements in Statements on Auditing Standards," or its replacement) the most recently available report in planning and performing the audit of the statutory financial statements. Consideration shall be given to the procedures illustrated in the Financial Condition Examiners Handbook promulgated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners as the independent certified public accountant deems necessary.
