   12  less frequently than once every 5 years. The examination shall
   13  cover the preceding 5 fiscal years of the insurer and shall be
   14  commenced within 12 months after the end of the most recent
   15  fiscal year being covered by the examination. The examination
   16  may cover any period of the insurer’s operations since the last
   17  previous examination. The examination may include examination of
   18  events subsequent to the end of the most recent fiscal year and
   19  the events of any prior period that affect the present financial
   20  condition of the insurer.

   27  in the case where the managing general agent solely represents a
   28  single domestic insurer.
