16 C.F.R. 314 GLBA-grade handling and a licensing boundary held on every ledger

The most rigorous carrier-commission reconciliation an independent agency can put its name on.

CommissionClear turns 40+ inconsistent carrier statements a month into one penny-perfect Commission Ledger and a chased Discrepancy Docket — every statement line matched to your AMS book, every discrepancy classified against the commission schedule, and an insurance-accounting reviewer's signature on every Monthly Reconciliation Pack before it ships.

Why commissions leak

A statement total booked unverified is a commission you never checked.

An independent agency receives 40-plus carrier statements a month, in 40 different formats, and nobody in-house has the hours — or the insurance-specific knowledge — to verify a single line item against the agency's own book of business.

So statement totals get booked as lump revenue and never reconciled. Missing and short-paid commissions go unchased, producer payout disputes have no statement-backed answer, and commission revenue can't be tied to source statements at tax time or in an acquisition.

CommissionClear closes that gap with one exhaustive reconciliation standard applied identically to every statement, every carrier, every cycle.

The benchmark

Reconciled to the penny — and held to the boundary a back-office desk must never cross.

CommissionClear reconciles every statement line against your commission schedule to the penny, and stays strictly inside the back-office accounting lane. These are the provisions and boundaries every ledger is measured against — cited, not assumed.

NAIC Model var(--x12)

Back-office, not producer

Selling, soliciting, and negotiating insurance require a producer license under the NAIC Producer Licensing Model Act; pure reconciliation with no consumer contact does not. CommissionClear gives no policy advice and never negotiates a policy — the boundary is written into every engagement.

Cal. Ins. Code 1733-1734

Commission income only

Where states impose fiduciary trust duties on premiums an agency holds, CommissionClear never moves, holds, or controls premium funds. It reconciles commission income only; disbursement authority stays with the agency at all times.

RCW 19.16.100

Receivables follow-up, not collection

Chasing a carrier for an underpaid commission is commercial receivables follow-up between two contracted business parties, not third-party consumer debt collection. Every inquiry goes out under the agency's own identity.

NRS 649.075

Rider dropped where flagged

Nevada's commercial-collection reach is read the same way, and the optional recovery-share rider is dropped entirely in any state where counsel flags collection-agency exposure — the flat desk fee stands alone there.

16 C.F.R. Part 314

Safeguards on every statement

Under the GLBA Safeguards Rule, carrier statements carrying insured names, policy numbers, and premium figures require encryption at rest and in transit, access logging, per-agency segregation, and defined retention limits — not optional.

15 U.S.C. 6801-6809

Nonpublic personal information

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act governs the nonpublic personal information carrier statements contain. Data is minimized, per-agency isolated, and never used to train models.

How a pack is built

Intake to reviewer release, with deterministic gates the AI cannot overrule.

AI extracts and drafts. Deterministic code — running outside the model — owns every dollar of math and every tie-out. A named insurance-accounting reviewer signs every release. That order is never reversed.

01

Commission Leakage Scan

Send your AMS export, carrier appointment list, and last 3 months of carrier statements. We return a free completeness read: matched percentage, unmatched lines, and missing or short-paid items with an estimated dollar value.

02

Normalize and match

Each carrier statement is extracted into a common schema, tied out against its own stated total, then matched line by line against your AMS book of business. Ambiguous matches route to a reviewer, never a guess.

03

Classify against the schedule

AI drafts discrepancy classifications from your validated data and the applicable commission schedule — missing, short-paid, late, chargeback, or rate-mismatch — each with a source citation. No discrepancy is confirmed by the model.

04

Deterministic tie-out gates

All money math runs in versioned code: sums, splits, materiality thresholds, duplicate-payment detection, and the ledger-must-balance-to-statement-total gate. Any failure blocks release.

05

Reviewer release

A named insurance-accounting reviewer signs every Commission Ledger; a second reviewer covers any docket over $2,500 or a first-time carrier before anything ships.

06

Deliver and chase

You receive the Monthly Reconciliation Pack — ledger, Discrepancy Docket, recovered-dollars report, producer payout statements, posting file — and approved carrier inquiries go out under your own name, with aging tracked automatically.

Why CommissionClear

Built to be the most thorough option a small agency has.

Done-for-you, not a tool to operate

The deliverable is a finished, reviewer-signed ledger — not software the agency has to run every month. Enterprise reconciliation platforms and BPO engagements are priced for thousands of statements; this is sized for the $500K-$5M agency they do not serve.

Deterministic, not vibes

Every dollar of tie-out is code, never a model's opinion. A drafting error cannot slip a wrong number past the statement total.

In its lane, on purpose

CommissionClear reconciles commission income and chases carriers as the agency's authorized agent. It is not a producer, a debt collector, or a law firm, and it never contacts an insured or gives legal advice.

Engagement

Flat fee, per cycle. No mandatory contingency, ever.

Simple, predictable pricing aligned with a reconciliation standard — not a cut of any recovery.

  • A free Commission Leakage Scan before you commit — a 3-month lookback that shows exactly what carriers owe you (free for the first 10 pilot agencies).
  • Reconciliation Desk: $600-$2,500/mo by statement volume — Core, Plus, or Pro — never hourly.
  • Optional recovery-share rider, capped and dropped in any state where counsel flags collection-agency exposure.
  • Optional Diligence Tie-Out for agency M&A season — a reviewer-attested revenue-verification exhibit, never a guarantee of any deal term.
FAQ

Questions, answered precisely.

Is CommissionClear a law firm or a licensed producer?
No. CommissionClear, a service of Your Deputy, Obuke LLC, provides commission reconciliation and documentation-support services. It is not a law firm, not a licensed insurance producer, and does not sell, solicit, or negotiate insurance. It gives no legal, tax, or insurance advice.
Do you contact our insureds or collect a debt?
Never. CommissionClear is not a debt collector and does not contact your insureds. Carrier inquiries are receivables follow-up between contracted business parties, sent under your agency's own name as your authorized administrative agent, on an authorization you control and can revoke at any time.
What makes a Commission Ledger 'complete'?
Every statement line is matched to an AMS policy or explicitly exception-coded, the ledger ties to statement totals to the penny in deterministic code, and every discrepancy carries a source-statement citation and a commission-schedule reference. A named insurance-accounting reviewer signs before release.
Will we be relying on an AI-drafted ledger?
No. AI extracts and drafts; deterministic code owns every dollar of math; a named human reviewer authorizes every release. Missing items ship as explicit evidence gaps, never invented.
How are you priced?
A flat monthly Reconciliation Desk fee by statement volume, plus a one-time Commission Leakage Scan. No hourly billing and no mandatory percentage of any recovered amount.
